Eastbourne is a city on the south coast of England, with a population of 450,000. It is one of the larger cities in the United Kingdom, with a booming tourist industry (helped somewhat by the new heliport created on the mock-Victorian pier).
The city is a twenty-minute train ride from Brighton, and as such has a high population of homosexuals. Despite this, Eastbourne is a firmly Conservative region, followed by the United Kingdom Independence Party and the British National Party. Demographically it also has a considerable population of economic refugees from Wales, who left to find work in the service sector during Margaret Thatcher's economic reforms. It is estimated that the Welsh population is somewhere between 45 and 50% of the total population. Unemployment is high amongst the migrant population.
Crime is a serious problem, with the Eastbourne Gazette (one of the city's two newspapers) frequently complaining of drug abuse, prostitution and generally rakish behaviour.
Eastbourne's beaches are amongst the cleanest in the South East and some four million tourists flock to the city's attractions (including the Napoleonic fortresses, mock Tudor/Victorian pier and UCI cinemas) each year.
