ROOSTVILLE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Roostville is the biggest attraction of the United Kaiju Confederacy Consortium where everyone from big shots to measly low-lifes reside. It is like something from a '50s B-movie; the quintessential town where everyone knows each other by name and rarely anything worse than the torching of a house occurs.

Kaiju were first introduced into our world in 1933 when a gigantic gorilla dubbed 'King Kong' menaced the city of New York, baffling scientists to no end. A similar incident occurred in 1938, this time in the Japanese city of Edo. Then the Great War burst like a roaring flood upon a turmoiled world and Kaiju ('strange beast' in Japanese) were left unstudied for several years. Nearly a decade passed until a seemingly extinct beast, the Rhedosaurus, emerged from the depths of the sea to wage war on London. But the worst was yet to come.

In 1954, the most feared Kaiju awoke from its slumber and with it, a plague of death and terror followed. The place: Tokyo, Japan, then home to six million people and a buzzing city full of life. The date, November 3rd. It was then that the beast attacked, laying waste to the city and burning Tokyo to the ground. Gojira it was called, and the title 'King of the Monsters' was bestowed upon him.

Realizing that Kaiju were no longer hidden in mystery, a colony soon formed in what is now known as Roostville. It started as a humble community, originally called "Golemburg" by the Hasidic Jews who lived there. Soon, more people moved in and eventually, everyone moved in. The original settlers moved to Israel and put the land up for sale. C.L. Werner and Brandon Waggle bought it for about two cents an acre. The survivors from Odo Island often appear as the "cast of thousands" Maori extras in local films. Gamingboy's humongous Mansion©-Invincible-Headquarters that is somehow larger than anything else because of a Plot Hole went up. The Museum of Monsters was built. Scientists established universities in order to better study the phenomenon known as Kaiju at the most respected institutes of Kaijuology in the world.

The area has been officially declared a state unto itself, advising other nations on their Kaiju problems. Roostville filled with people from many different castes and over the years, began taking on a very distinct "character" (one you sure won't find at Disneyland!) where it's perfectly OK to park on the grass, keep assorted ordnance at hand (actually, a necessity, considering the various "visitors" Roostville attracts for some strange reason) and generally, get away from the "normal" world.

The skyline includes many ENTERPRISES unique to Roostville:

• The Best Buy™, destroyed during THE BATTLE OF ROOSTVILLE. It is visible from the roof of City Hall and its absence inspired Gamingboy to come up with the idea of filming the battling monsters.
• Boutiques are located on Rodan Drive™, home to such designers as Angmani™, QG™, John Biollante™ and many more in our very own version of Rodeo Drive!
• Burlesque houses, such as the Bird Nest.
• City Hall, where Mayor Morgoth had his richly ornamented and opulent offices. The seat of government often gets trashed by both Good Guys and other entities. Don't be surprised if city officials (especially the three Dark Lords) wear maroon togas for formal occasions! It definitely adds some "class" to the place...
• The Colosseum. With Roostville's almost magnet-like tendency to become the backdrop of bizarre (if unscheduled) battles between giant monsters, this Xian co-sponsored arena is a throwback to Imperial Rome, built to satisfy the public appetite for blood and was the setting of the DUEL OF THE FATES gladiatorial contests.
• Located in Roostville is the famous Desu Hill where many people live and near the top is Desu Mansion, the home of the rich Lord Desutoroia Khandejifer. Not too far away is the Roostville Cemetery where he was found dead, as well as an abandoned theater. Prof. Sandworm Phish's Underground lair is in Desu Hill.
• Count Super Jet Jaguar's castle is located in front of the town, complete with scary clouds and lightning flashing about it.
• The more affluent residents live in Hedorah Hills where famous Desu Hill is located.
• Evil Genius Man's underground lair is deep below Roostville from which he launches doomsday weapons so don't be alarmed if you see nuclear missiles taking off: it's just EGM trying to take over the world again.
• The Evil Lair is EGM's bar. He was running low on funds so he opened it to get some cash.
• The East River
• Mayor Ubergeek's latest haunt can be spied protruding from the East River®: a partially-sunken Independence Day™ City-Buster®. It can accommodate all kinds of "enterprises" so please contact the Mayor for further details on this unique venue.
• The Ghidorah Arena/Daycare Center-of-Doom®.
• The 90 story Godzilla Tower housed Morgoth's lavishly appointed penthouse but was destroyed in the aftermath of GAMINGBOY FOR MAYOR! that left the city a pile of rubble. The site is now prime real estate and a vital element of the REBUILDING ROOSTVILLE AGAIN: 48 HOURS 'TIL APOCALYPSE tale in which he and Saruman planned to rezone and buy the area up to secure the future site of the Roostville Dome.
• An abandoned Greek Temple in the southeastern district where the Dark Triad™ attempted to regroup the Roostville Militia for an apocalyptic fight which dealt equal damage to the city and the combatants.
• Hellspawn's SECRET SECRET Lair is just off the coast of Roostville.
• The industrial district at the west end of town just across the Information Superhighway® includes Raptor's West End Imagineering complex. The truck stop provides an appearance of legitimacy and its monster "Thunder Chicken" wrecker is big, powerful and versatile enough to fit the particular needs of even Roostville. Looking at Raptor's two story log A-frame and Jet Jaguar's ultra-modern high tech Robotica Mansion, you just know Roostville offers great rewards for those with "business" sense.
• The Information Superhighway® (wrought with potholes and plot holes) cuts right through Roostville.
• The Institute of Obscure Kaiju can be found at the end of a long winding road at the edge of town and is a (sorta) world famous (though rather small) institution devoted to the study and research of obscure kaiju. It is headed by Enshohma, who is assisted by Yongary and Associate Researcher Cam Eleon.
• The Ishiro Honda International Airport.
• The Jalepino Club was opened by Rodan 2000 when he came to Roostville.
• KIJU 106 radio station.
• Melkor's estate is on an island several miles northwest of Roostville and is rather like Xanadu, though much more grand and built with a larger, fatter budget.
• The Mod Station is the town's police headquarters and houses the Sheriff's Office and town lock-up. Near the center of town, it's a handy place for Mods, Admins and city officials to hang out when they have nothing better to do and the new Sheriff, Jet Jaguar, can keep THEM out of mischief.
• Mt. Rodan (the tallest mountain on the island) is an active volcano and one of three large mountains located across the Kenji Sahara Desert.
• Mr. Burger, where RadoGoji works.
• The crown jewel of Roostville is the Museum of Monsters and is Roostville's main tourist attraction. People from all over the world come to view Kaiju memorabilia from a life size statue of a Gyaos to Godzilla vs. the Smog Monster toilet paper, adding much needed revenue to the town's economy. It is managed by a diverse and volatile bunch of locals (to say the least...)
• Kaijuphile.com University - Department of Kaijuology, of which Prof. D.B. Zelda is the dean.
• Roostville Cable & Telephone Company. The local provider of Internet, telephone and cable TV service is frequently suspected of pirating broadcasts from major television and cable companies due to its subscribers' belief in a more literal meaning of "public access." It often goes off the air for various reasons, despite ex-Vice-Mayor Sauron's and the Roostville Militia's best efforts.
• Roostville Cemetery (where Desutoroia was found dead) is located on Desu Hill.
• Roostville's Film & Media enterprises are thriving with full-fledged studios at the new Roostville Arts Center and recently discovered Fan Nest. There are also diverse print and over-the-air news services.
• The Roostville Institute of Advanced Physics and Science is headed by world-renowned scientist Dr. Sandworm Phish.
• The Institute of Kaijuology is funded by Ubergeek, who prefers to keep his association below the radar as much as possible.
• The Kenji Sahara Desert is miles away from modern towns and one must travel through the Gamera Fields to get there.
• Toho Park is a large central green convenient to shoppers and downtown workers.
• The Underground, where sewers and secret passages abound, is the Kaijuverse equivalent of Gotham City and mostly excavated by Baragon2003 who likes to dig tunnels to sleep in and not be disturbed (whether humans like it or not). The excavations became the basis for the Inter-City Baragon Lines subway system.
• World-class resorts and hotels
• Ziller's™, home and birthplace of the world-famous Super Steak™

• Titanosaurus Terraces is our very own Beverly Hills.
• Hedorah Hills™ is the most aristocratic residential area of Roostville and #1366 Kaiju Corner (the wealthiest street in the subdivision) is the Smith Manor. Definitely a horribly upscale community that is not above looking at various denizens funny when they are up there in their other-than-high-class cars and trucks.
• Seatopia Street™

• The Roostville Rodans (Baseball)
• The Roostville Ray Guns (Basketball)
• Roostville Wackies (Football)
• Roostville Rocks (Soccer)
• The Roostville Yetis (Hockey)

• Close by cities are Maser City, Neo-Monster Island, Monsterzeroville, Xmenville, Kennyville© and others which can be reached via the Information Superhighway® and the Baragon Subway Lines.
• We're still hearing from the Mayor of Kong Town about that Star Destroyer the ANIMATED subjects of a certain CARTOON SERIES knocked down during the making of a movie (Don't ask! Just check out BEHIND THE SCENES OF "ROBBERY IN ROOSTVILLE"!)
