Simply put, City of Unity is an IRC roleplaying site set in a far-future Orwellian dystopia populated by [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furries.]] Launched in July, 2007.
There is, however, more than that. ''[[ArchiveBinge Much]]'' [[ArchiveBinge more.]]
''From the main page:'' In an ancient age long ago, the Sun died. How, is impossible to say. Some say it was the consequence of forbidden science. Other tales claim it was the wrath of the gods themselves which smote it from the heavens. Whatever the cause, the Time of Light ended, and the long night and winter of the [[Myth/NorseMythology Fimbulvetr]] began.
It was only through sheer technological might, the atmosphere-warming Sky Furnaces desperately launched into the skies after the Sun's death, that the planet was kept from plummeting to the temperature of cold, sunless space. The world transformed into a grim, frostbitten wasteland known as the Nightlands, haunted by horrific abberations and monstrous things awoken by the coming of the forever Night. Surviving populations crowded into the last great fortress cities, the Colonies, where civilization continued... In a sense. As the world grew ever colder, so did the relationships between different races. Primal survival instincts which, in the Time of Light, had no place in society began to stir after ages of slumber.
In time, the concern for preserving the survival of one's own people regardless of the cost on other species slowly took hold over society. A powerful feline house ruling one Colony would accuse a neighboring rodent enclave of violating a resource-sharing treaty, eventually leading to war. Working class canines in the same Colony would blame food shortages the ruling felines and carry out a genocidal revolt, while reptiles in yet another would be exiled to their doom in the Nightlands by the ruling mammals. Yet in all scenarios, hybrids would by far receive the most persecution, being seen by each side as impure abominations — the shameful, aberrant fruit of inter-species procreation.
In time, the Species Wars, as they would later be known as, led to the destruction of civilization... With one exception: Einheit City, [[TitleDrop The City of Unity.]]
It is here where the tale of the world's end will be told. What part in it will you play?
As of 13 May 2011, the roleplay has officially ended.

* BioPunk: Can be seen in wetwiring, the [=WhiteGear=], artificial hybridization and more.
%% * BlueAndOrangeMorality
* CommieNazis: The Ministry mix-and-match Communist and Fascist ideology quite a bit. They're even said to follow North Korea's Songun and Juche philosophies on top of their Nazi-esque eugenics and use of SS-like military structure.
%% * CosmicHorrorStory: The xix mythos.
* CrapsackWorld: The sun is dead. Einheit City is the last bastion of civilization in the ''entire world'', and it's ruled by an Orwellian dictatorship. The rest of the world is a frozen waste populated by vicious carnivores. It even says right on the front page that "It is here where the tale of the world's end will be told."
