Yorknew City (ヨークシンシティ, Yōkushin Shiti) is a sprawling metropolis of the United States of Saherta, on the Yorbian continent.

Overview

The city annually holds various auctions from the 1^st to the 10^th of September, including the world's largest auction: the Southernpiece Auction, in which the world's rarest and most valuable artifacts are accumulated in one place.

Aside from thousands of lawful auction houses, the city is also famous for its black market auctions which mostly deal with illegal goods. The Mafia's Underground Auction takes place here every year, in the Cemetery Building.

During the ten days of the auctions, tens of trillions of Jenny are exchanged in the official auctions alone. Yorknew's auctions are where one's dreams can come true-an item bought for ten thousand can be sold for 100 million the next day.

According to Light Nostrade, the city's election and authority are mostly bribed and controlled by the Mafia community. As a result, all enforcement forces in the city ranging from police to SWAT are literally dirty cops and Mafia henchmen in which the Mafia can order them to create blockage across the city during the Phantom Troupe's rampage.

Trivia

Yorknew City and Barcelona comparison

Yorknew City and Paris comparison

• The Yorknew City map on which Kurapika uses his Dowsing Chain Hatsu ability to find Neon Nostrade's whereabouts is actually a map of Paris. A reference being the white rectangle with "Marsfeld", Champ de Mars in German, written inside and the indication of the river's name near by, Seine River; among other less distinguishable names.
