Kazkaya

Kazkaya, sometimes alternatively called Kaxkaya, is a sprawling city within the State of Croscograd and the largest city by population in the entirety of the United Socialist States of Eldham before Bierzhan (previously Laria.) It is well known for being an international trading hub with a large harbor on the Haxhoit Sea and for being a home to several government, military, and business buildings making it a common landmark for diplomatic and state matters.

It's founder is Gaboliver Urabon (Urabon), and its current mayor is Rosa Ortangon (Rosaburgs)

Founding
On July 19th, 2021, Gaboliver Urabon and Attila Richthofen began building a small settlement on the Isle of Tumiria within the State of Croscograd in the USSE. It was the first settlement to begin being built after the Kunir War in the nation as many had been displaced and forced to move West and there was a desperate need for new settlements and cities. The city was nearly named Orgostahd as per the suggestion of Korwin Rogale, but this was voided and the city was ultimately named Kazkaya however it has been often called Kaxkaya or Kaskaya as alternative spellings.

Expansion
The city ultimately had a rather slow start consisting of an empty dockyard and a few desolate roads and buildings. This would change drastically though as under the Presidency of Xeroise Ronango'O, the nation began to quickly grow and rejuvenate after the Kunir War, a trend that would be followed up under the Presidency of Quintus Solokov. During this time Kazkaya grew from a small population of a few to a massive city of nearly 50 people.

Kazkaya Farms
On September 10th, to accomodate the city's gargantuan size and expansion, farmland West of the Yotoshad River was split into a different claim named Kazkaya Farms. It acted as a small shanty town with several small abodes, large farms, and most notably, Kazkaya's graveyard where featured the heads of beloved people from throughout the nation and abroad.

Loyalist War

Kazkaya became a hub of production in preparation for war against the Loyalists, being used by citizens to grind for XP. But, on the 16th of November, war was officially declared, with Kazkaya being the main target for Loyalist and Mars Exulte forces, chosen by Zaidan's leader, Loppi Duck. Thankfully, through diplomacy, war was averted, with the city escaping major harm.

Crime

Kazkaya has become the capital of crime in the U.S.S.E, with multiple gangs and criminal families fighting for control of the city. Theft is common, and has become part of the cities culture. Multiple PSB raids have been launched investigating robberies within the city, with thefts of items worth 100,000's of dollars.

Economy
Kazkaya is considered to be the economic center of Eastern Eldham and especially the USSE. It maintains several businesses both domestic and foreign, and most notably has an expansive foreign market dockyard where foreigners can come and sell their goods.

Geography
The city of Kazkaya is built almost entirely on the island of Tumiria which is surrounded by the Yotoshad River and the Haxhoit Sea. Much of the city's farms though are built West of the Yotoshad River near the town of New Crosotex. It's attachment to the river and sea make it an excellent trading destination as it has direct maritime access to many ports belonging to Xeka, Batu, Kaladinia, Notos, and more and the river gives it direct fast travel to cities like Laria.

Districts
The city was separated into the following districts: the military, Kazkaya farms, and residential districts. (Paragraph in progress)

Architecture
The city loosely follows the architecture of Laria. There are also notable buildings such as: the parliament/assembly building, the library, and the unfinished temple, and a large airship that towers over the cities skies

The parliament/assembly building was build by Rogale and is mainly used for presidential speeches and debates.

Kazkaya also holds the Memorial of the Kunir War. The memorial consists of waterfalls and a long book with many primary accounts of the war. It was build by Slip.

There is also an unfinished temple in Kazkaya. The builder has seemingly abandoned the project and disappeared. No one has taken the reigns of the project as of November 24th.
