Kereshin

Kereshin ( Lo'Oi: Kerexin, Vlaa'kh: Krepetzin) is a Lausan city and part of the United Socialist States of Eldham, being within the State of Medtremar. It's sitting mayor is currently Dimitrie Ilie Anovici.

The modern territory of the city lays on top of the historical settlement of Nordstad - which was one of the very first cities in Northeastern Serrona. The modern city was founded as a settlement named Kiripizen along the coast of the Kaladinian Sea and the ruins of Nordstad. Its name was later changed to the anglicized form of Kerexin, giving the city its contemporary name.

The city is renowned for its industrial center, being the most fishing-centric producer in Serrona at one point; the city produced gunpowder, ghast tears, and other fishing-related materials in mass quantity. This industrial capability allowed to ascend to, at one point, the second most populated city in the USSE by sheer population; having more residents than famous cities like Kazkaya and Vostroya by 275 TE.

Xekan Settlements
During the times of Xeka, A settlement called "Nordstad" was created by unknown players with the plan of creating a small, relaxed and Nordic-themed settlement near the big city of Akaishiro but there isn't any document regarding Nordstad's development, death and wars, but due to their proximity, it's generaly the same as Akaishiro. Due to the death of Nordstad, a new city, Kiripizen, was born right next to it with the hope of generating a population boom... Which failed miserably.

Modern Kereshin
Kereshin was uninhabited and abandoned for a good chunk of time until an USSE official, Raistin Serebra, envisioned the rebirth of Kereshin under a big industrial brutalist city to house the Medtremari industrial base, but the plan died due to the revival failing under him and the city being overshadowed by nearby Akaishiro. But that all changed when an opportunistic citizen, Dimitrie Ilie Anovici, came in the city and started a huge immigration wave, resulting in him winning the position of Mayor in Kereshin

Kereshin Under Anovici
Kereshin saw unprecedented growth under the mayorship of Anovici, getting Kereshin from a ghost city to the 3rd most populated city in the USSE, passing Vostroya in 4th September, 2023.

Kereshin is undertaking a development plan called "The 3 Stage Plan", a plan that seeks to expand Kereshin in 3 steps, and is currently ongoing with great success, as Kereshin is seeking to incorporate old Xekan settlements and rebuild them from the ground up.

Kereshin-Akaishiro Dispute
Due to the growth of Kereshin, they have drawn maps and expansion plans on how the city should look like after the 3 Stage Plan, this included the full incorporation of Nordstaad under Kereshin, which started a dispute with nearby Akaishiro (which had de facto control over) over it

It ended with Kereshin annexing Nordstaad under their city due to proximity and several demands from the Kereshin Mayorship

The Aposaxin Split
After the debate ending in Kereshin annexing Nordstaad, the USSE government started worrying about the settlement becoming too big and considered the idea of Kereshin taking over the protected Medtremari Jungle, so an emergency meeting was called, which demanded the shrinkage of Kereshin. The meeting resulted in the Aposaxin Split, the creation of a new village from Kereshin's mountain region.

Aposaxin will be considered a different city in the USSE but it is still controlled by Kereshin and it's mayor. The appointed Mayor of Aposaxin is the Kereshiner Vice-Mayor, PSB Lt. Elesvar Ukumari
