Digital World

The Digital World's beginnings can be traced to the early twentieth century, with the activation of the Atanasoff–Berry Computer (ABC) - the first computer - which laid the basic foundations of the world. Subsequently, the first patented computer, ENIAC, was activated.

The United States government created a program for developing artificial life, the Yggdrasil System, and proceeded to build upon the foundations of the previous computers, shaping the Digital World. Over the ensuing years, through the continued growth of the electronic communications network on Earth, the Digital World created by the Yggdrasil System continued to expand and grow, even after the ABC and ENIAC were shut down.

The dominant lifeforms of this world are Digimon. Digimon are sentient creatures that, like the Digital World, are made of data. It is possible for Digimon to travel to the "Real World," what Digimon call Earth, though this requires the opening of some sort of dimensional wormhole known as a Digi-Port.

At first, the Digital World had a different scale of time than the real world, making it possible to spend months in the Digital World and have no time pass at all back on Earth. Upon King Drasil's defeat and Susanoomon taking its place as the backbone of the Yggdrasil System, this is no longer the case.

Geography
The Digital World is split into five sectors: the Northern Quadrant, the Eastern Quadrant, the Western Quadrant, the Southern Quadrant, and the Spring of Beginning in the center where all of the quadrants met. The outer four lands are ruled by the Digimon Sovereigns, and the Spring of Beginning was guarded by Omnimon because of its importance.

The Digital World has three continents, from left to right on the map: Folder, Processor, and Server.

Eastern Quadrant
The Eastern Quadrant of the Digital World, ruled by Azulongmon, has the second least amount of land out of all four, behind the North. The East was rather calm throughout history, minus the small File Island, where Azulongmon's temple rested.
