Greensleeves is the second-largest city upon Brookeview Bay, the fourth-largest and southernmost major city in the greater Brookeview Ludwig Megalopolitan Complex, the largest city north of the Timmons Range on the Timmons Peninsula, and the Illuminatian continent's 11th-largest city overall.

The geography in the Greensleeves metropolitan area is convenient for a variety of clean energy production methods and the area's centralized geography is ideal for energy distribution.

As of the 250 AI Census, Greensleeves had a population of 1,518,235 residents. The city has experienced significant growth since then and it is estimated the city will have a population over 2,000,000 by the 300 AI Census. The population increase of approximately 180% over 50 AU was impressive but nonetheless led to the loss of one ranking position relative to Illuminatia's other large and faster-growing cities.
A site of a handful of landings from the Third Multiversal Duplication of the Lucidus II ship, Greensleeves is a primary settlement city. The multiple landings at this site following the Lucidus termination event allowed Greensleeves a head-start in growth compared to primary settlement cities seeded with only one landing.
Greensleeves was named in honor of an ancient Earthly classical music composition.
