Nova Varomia

Nova Varomia (Bibshmibbian: Nova Varomja) is a large city located in the Zamotz province of Velerin. Located in the Northern part of the Country in the Subcontinent of Maddrak. It is home to the Capital City, Nova Varomia, which the Province is named after.

Founding
Nova Varomia was Founded by Shmúb Alkhem-Dúb and Ashren as the Citystate of Nova Bibshmibbia. It was chosen for its warm climate and easy water access, and was mainly composed of small wooden huts located by the southern shore. One of the biggest threats Nova Varomia faced was Starvation due to its relative isolation from surrounding Zamotz and lack of existing infrastructure. In response to this, a communal wheat farm, a dock for fishing, and a cooking area were constructed to feed the growing populace, and harsh punishments were threatened to those who stole extra food. A mine and blacksmith were later constructed, and Iron, Coal, Diamonds, and other materials began being mined and forged into tools for farming, building, and mining.

Expansion and Development
Around this time, Penguin2804 was elected Prime Minister, and additional public housing was constructed on the Hills between Bibshmibbian bay and the southern shores by Ashren. Penguin then constructed a National Brewery by the west coast, and Melon, Pumpkin and Beet farms were built by the Brewery. Cows and Sheep were imported via the Docks, and an Artificial Island was constructed to House greater fishing operations and a flock of sheep. Roads were expanded throughout Nova Varomia, and Tunnels were constructed connecting the south shores to the rapidly-growing bayside.

More Expansion and Development
During the following Prime Minister elections, Penguin2804 and Ashren dueled for the seat, with Ashren eventually winning. An after party was held in the National Brewery, and several other fights were held between Crlsniper, Dcrazydude, and Yeslam. Afterwards, the up and coming district of Little Suuntur was constructed by Dcrazy and Crlsniper, housing businesses such as the Little Suuntur Law, Dcrazy's dirty deals, and Crlsniper's Juice bar. Development continued to be made around Nova Varomia, with a Cheese Factory, Ice Road Station, and Archives being constructed, as well as the 1st floor of the Bibshmibbian Palace. The tunnel network was expanded to incorporate Little Suuntur, and Strange, Cracked walls began to be uncovered whilst excavating the tunnels, resulting in continued excavation.

Post Kolnor Merger
Following the Bibshmibbian-Kolnor merger, the Capital became a hub for meetings involving the newly united government. Eventually, the New Constitution was signed on the first floor of the Palace, and The former Prime Minister (Ashren) became the Consul of Nova Varomia, in charge of governing the Province and City. The roads in Nova Varomia were extended, close to linking up to the Portavel Road Network, and an Ice Tunnel was dug, linking Nova Varomia to Mainland Zamotz and Kolnor. A fort was then constructed, to house the Bibshmibbian military, and a canal was dug for easier transportation and fishing access.

Draesk Landing
Draesk Landing, also known as Downtown Varomia and The Shoreside, was the site of the first Bibshmibbian settlements on the island, and was named after Draskia, the refuge of the Bibshmibbian People following their banishment from Old Varomia. The first settlers constructed dwellings consisted of stilted huts and homes carved into the hills, which were designed to withstand tides and floods the shoreside community regularly faced. It is now mainly known as the historical and industrial Province, containing SHMOOBDOOB's original house, Former Prime Minister Radioblade's Ship The Varomia Narwhal, and the Bibshmibbian Brewing Company's Bottlery and Headquarters.

Uptown Varomia
Uptown Varomia is the most populated region of Nova Varomia, and is constructed on the southwestern hills of the City. It was constructed as the Bibshmibbians expanded housing to higher elevations as protection from Foreign Invaders and the turbulent Velithangian Sea. This district is made up of colorful, 2-3 story stone and terracotta houses, designed by mayor Ashren during their time in office. It acts as the Governing Center of Nova Varomia, containing the Smakkpyn's Palace and The Courtroom. It also acts as the Hub of Infrastructure, containing Varomia Station, The center of Iceroad Development around Zamotz as well as the Headquarters of the Varomia Roads Association (VRA). Uptown Varomia also contains the neighborhood Little Suunter, where immigrants from Zamotz such as Roshi Dcrazydude and Crlsniper moved to. It is home to several local businesses, such as Popo's General Store and Little Suunter Law, as well as a Stone Path Shrine built into the hillside.

East Shmiggia
East Shmiggia is the Merchant and Port district of the city, and was developed during the Second Development Phase. It is nestled in Bibshmibbia Bay, and contains several businesses, such as the Nightmarket and Luponia Co, as well as being a docking site for ships such as The Sapphire Flame. It was the Third Region that was prominently settled, and it's coastline is filled with a vast kelp forest inhabited by cod and turtles. The Business-Minded inhabitants of this region have taken up fishing as a pastime, as a source of seafood and as a way to earn passive income.

Highlands
The Highlands of Nova Varomia was technically the longest settled region, filled with deserted buildings and mines from a forgotten group of people. Nowadays, it is home to Iron and Coal mines, with the peaks being used as vineyards and villas by the political and economic elite.

Northern Plains
The Northern Plains is often considered as the Agricultural Province of Nova Varomia, Home to Wheat, RIce, and Potato farms. The population of this region is fairly spread out, in contrast to the dense population of Uptown Varomia and East Shmiggia. The buildings around this region consist of Farmhouses, Stone Watchtowers, and Windmills. The residents of this region enjoy eating local produce and foraging for fish, and typically ate Rice Cakes, Bread, and Cooked Fish, along with Salt found all around the West Coast.

Borderlands

The swamp is also home to several animals, such as frogs, snakes, and Ent minions (tiny, sentient, tree stumps).

Wildlife
