Honnō City

Honnō City (sometimes referred to as Honnō Town) is an artificial island whose center top is Honnōji Academy.

The city itself is governed by the chair of Honnōji Academy's board of directors, Ragyō Kiryūin herself, with Satsuki Kiryūin as the proxy. Under Satsuki's rule, the city has fell into totalitarian state with her weeding out of the weak among the school's ranks, explaining its current dystopian state compared to the rest of the world by the time of Ryūko's arrival.

History
Honnō City is a city built on an artificial island and divided into four levels that separate the poor from the rich. The status of wealth depends on the student's progress at school signified by the rank of their Goku Uniform. The higher the Star ranking, the more prestigious the standard of living, with No-Stars being relegated to the slums. The poorer districts are further away from the academy and the richer ones are closer to it.

In the end credits of episode 24, Honnō City is later seen fully submerged at the bottom of Tokyo Bay. The reason of this later revealed to be result of Ryūko Matoi's battle against Rei Hōōmaru which resulted in it's citizens evacuating as seen in episode 25, though damage it sustained from the final battle against Revocs Corporation already severe enough to prompt its abandonment.
