	Movies - Machine World City Empire

In the fictional universe of The Matrix series, the Machine World City Empire is a supremecal authoritative world state encompassing the entire Earth and is governed and established by the Machines of its predecessor, former Zero One.

Rise to power

The name "Machine World City Empire" was one that the machines of Zero One ascribed themselves. After the first Man-Machine War in the late 21st Century, humanity was subdued and held merely as a battery inside a massive conglomerative computer simulation known as The Matrix.

The World City Empire was not one that physically occupied the entire Earth, but was merely spread throughout different geographical locations where differing concentrations of humans were 'plugged' into the Matrix. One can think of it as the "hardware" on which the Matrix "software" ran, although the connotation is more Weyland-Yutani than IBM.

This World City Empire, with the exception of the central municipality which was Zero One itself, mainly encompassed the massive pillars of humans kept in a hybridised-cryogenic state where their biothermal and electrical energies are harvested for machine needs. Construction of this city empire began after the surrender of the last human forces in the United States and the signing of the peace treaty by the heads of the United Nations

Because the Machines had already subdued humanity in the third world war between man and machine, the governance of the World City Empire was met without any opposition. Essentially, any opposition to it had to directed via the Matrix itself, as defences surrounding the city prohibited any sort of human invasion, whether stealthily or by force.

Context in the Matrix saga movies

The Machine World City Empire is only referred to in the third movie, The Matrix Revolutions
, and is termed as "Machine City."
