What cool settings have you guys made?

Well, the current system's set for rapture, and chances are that the pre generated enemy tables for columbia will most likely come afterward, however, it could easily be used for any setting someone could come up with
So far, the only setting i've come up with was a version of columbia where booker and elizabeth inexplicably disappeared shortly after entering finkton
Rapture is underwater, Columbia in the clouds; what's left? A subterranean setting? Some centre of the earth type shit? I think the whole thing works best when you have a remote, closed off location.
Maybe some kind of escape from new york/brick mansions type setting where areas have been walled off so splicers can't get out.
A mental institution would also work, but I think it'd still need some other gimmick.

An alternate history where splicing and Adam use became widespread, leading to the majority of mankind becoming splicers. Maybe all the splicing latched onto a communicable disease that infected the population, with only a tiny fragment being naturally immune to it. A little like your average zombie survival fiction but with frothing splicers instead of Zeds.
OR something like Elysium where the very rich live in high, remote, unreachable areas. They succumbed to slicing and steal people from below, the poor, starving wasteland they left behind to transplant organs etc. Someone the party cares about is stolen, they load up on cheap, blackmarket plasmids and storm the floating city to get them back.
Alternatively the players are kickass plasmid using splicer agents sent to hunt and kill illegal splicers, a little like Equilibrium, but replace emotion crime with splicing.
Any major war, WW1, WW2, Nam, where plasmids were in use.

Players use lobotomised Elizabeth clones to traverse rifts while hunting enemies of an immortal cybernetic Andrew Ryan.

There was an idea a while ago about some German scientist settling in an underground cavern and discovering how to make watered-down plasmids that bond to nature in weird ways.
One of my half-baked ideas was setting it in a submarine like in the 20,000 Leagues under the Sea. Like, making it bio-mechanical, looking more like an deep-sea animal. Self-sufficient, most things are compact and optimized to work in a cramped environment.

I think there needs to be a philosophy linked to the location as well. Both Commstock and Ryan's personal philosophies influenced the formation of the two cities, and reading over the first games plot on the wiki shows a huge amount of events occurring before the SHTF, you've got civil wars and rebels in both cities.
If you've just got players with plasmids fighting splicers for shits and giggles, you might as well play M&M or something.
Hey guys, it's been a long time since I played any of the games, where did the plasmids come from? Was it sea anemones or something?
