What is Uukumil?

Uukumil represents the world of the past. While every other city in the world moves into the Jazz Age and embraces technology and some forward thinking, Uukumil is stuck in the past. They see women as subservient to men, deny them proper education, and demand perfect virtue. And while the rest of the world is still dealing with similar problems, they are improving. For Casiopea, Uukumil represents a prison that keeps her from seeing that new future. Only by escaping it can she become the person she wants to be.
