most "Cyberpunk" countries?
| Africa
| Philippines. Mostly NCR.
| Countrywise, Singapore is high up there.
Also, Chinese coastal cities like Guangzhou/Shenzhen or even Xiamen are fucking wild.
| Downtown Toronto at night is very cyberpunk and beautiful
| What's the criteria? Cuz I was hunting for neon signs some while ago and to my disappointment most businesses use a light box or backlit text.
| I generally consider a country that has an extreme divide between rich and poor, with skyrises and wealth being displayed alongside shanty homes and extreme poverty as cyberpunk. When I was last in the Philippines I took photos of the big ShoeMart corp building at night and I noticed there was a squatter village just underneath.
| Poland.
| I think most think of a skyline thats got dense tall buildings with large obnoxious ads on them, topped with some old industrial sectors in view. Large grand mega apartments that are on a budget.
| Incheon, NYC?
| Is there really a country can be called cyberpunk?not a city?
| >>840652 very hard to imagine lowlife in rural areas. Sure crime and all that, but not usually organized. Also not as much depression out there, so doesn't feel super cyberpunk, at least not out West. Maybe India or Phillipines, I see oil refineries besides rice fields, like that.

There's plenty of depression in rural areas. Farms being bought out by megacorps to be run by enormous, remote controlled tractors, animals being stuffed into headsets to display "calming" audio/video, chickens kept in coma to be harvested for eggs without struggle.
And of course, the average rural person having their opinions drowned out by "city folk," and conveniently forgotten by politicians except for when someone's running for office. People who have gone their whole lives knowing no other trade are getting screwed out of livelihoods.

| Obviously China, Japan, and Korea are "cyberpunk"-like, but what are some others that might be overlooked?
