Certaria

Certaria, the renewal of the former town of Noorsholm, is a city that lies in the UBSR and borders the the former Union of Charon, now also part of the UBSR, to the south and L.G.A.E a bit further to the west. The city itself is the castle along with everything that lies within it, with the castle just being called Certaria Castle. The city is most well known for its huge walls, very defensible terrain, and its medieval style architecture that makes up all the houses, buildings, and towers in the city. Its defensibility was further improved with the construction of UBSR member jms ' Red Line. Certaria has been called the most beautiful city in Rathnir.

History
What makes the foundation of the city now was built back when Noordsholm was a town still standing. The foundation and castle of modern-day Certaria was primarily built by NaturalKind, along with other contributors of Noordsholm. Unfortunately, the town of Noorsholm was already in a state of decline, and the castle was never really put to use.

The castle stayed dormant for a significant amount of time, until fishgazer found the town while exploring for nearby areas of refuge as part of a band of fleeing rebels from New Flagstaff, who had to flee because of the latest Posavari revolution. Him and the people that arrived there with him originally had the intent to keep a lot of the same values and government New Flagstaff had, but no longer having any desire to revolt against Posavaria. After a while though, the government of the city became more decentralized and democratic, with no one person part of the city having more power in the matter of affairs than another.

When Posovaria fell, Certaria was given to the UBSR in the treaty of Istanboulder. With the towns nickname as a commune the city fell in line without issue and remains a part of Luscovy district to this day. The UBSR constructed a defensive wall in case of a ferryman attack known as the Red Line just outside of Certaria and was planned to be the first line of defence against the ferrymen.

Government
Originally having a government directed by Commisars and a Supreme Leader, the government then became a direct democracy, where everyone has an equal say in how things are run in the city. The city always had a communal mentality, with the resources collected by the people of city being shared with other members in an effort to improve everyone's lives, but having personal property is still allowed. After it was absorbed into the UBSR, this mentality remains along with the city's culture, as a part of the Luscovy district. After a vote by the people of Certaria its government became a demarchy to better merge the cities government with the one of the UBSR.

Population Boom
Before the great Population Boom, Certaria had a small active population of around 3-5. Many Certarnians and other Non-Certarians citizens pointed out its usefulness strategically and commercially to nations South of the UBSR due to it's strong walls being useful for other non-Ferryman matters. The Commisars and Supreme Leader took notice and directed more citizens to Certaria causing a mass population boom. Around 1 person is becoming a Certarian every day. Although this is mostly great news for Certarians, there is still a minor concern if Certaria can expand at the rate of the population growth due to emmanujose234 being the only active builder in the whole town. In response, emmanujose234 has prepared several building plots, and the city is locating new areas to expand. Even the emmanujoes234 has started to play less and less, several new builders emerged. Certaria's most active business was established, and the Certaria Bay was built. This influx of builders marked the end of the population boom, but now there where many more active people in Certaria
