01 (The Matrix)



"So this is Zero-One, aka Machine City by us humans. So if we can give them the right time to get a truce and fight against the evil Enclave, including some of these feral ghouls, mutants, deathclaws, radscorpions, super mutants, raiders, looters, etc., well, I guess we're going to have 'em on our side."

--Su Ji-Hoon, Hope For the Best

01 (sometimes labeled Zero-One), also referred to by Humans as the Machine City, is the home and capital sovereignty of the Machines. 01 is located in the Middle East, close to Mesopotamia, the "cradle of human civilization".

It was created long before the events depicted in The Matrix, when humanity spurned the machine desire to become partners of man (with the same rights and freedom). 01 became a prosperous and peaceful city, selling goods to humanity's countries such as the innovated hoverpad and commercial air-vehicle, Versatran. It is located in what used to be the Cradle of Civilization, Mesopotamia, aka the Fertile Crescent. In almost no time, 01 quickly became the leading global superpower.
