Pjaia (/Pʰaia/ Paia) is the largest city and capital of Ajudige. Pjaia is located in the Kingdom of Ajudige, one of the three historic kingdoms that form the greater Three Kingdoms of Ajudige. It plays an important role in regional affairs, cultural influence, and history. Since the city's capturing by Ajudigioux revolutionists in 1656, the city has been an epicenter of artistic, innovation, and cultural evolution.
History
The Neolithic Period (7000-2200 B.C.E.)
Humans first arrived into what is now Ajudige via a land bridge that connected the island to the mainland in what is now Fort Kazanova. These first Ajudige share a common ancestor of the Wendat, Choctaw, Gathawk, and Durbanian First Peoples. Around 3000 B.C.E., Ajudige was permanantly disconnected from the mainland further isolating the ancient Ajudigioux. People first started settling in what is now Pjaia around the same time the land bridge eroded. Many scholars and historians believe these first peoples enjoyed the many natural hot springs in the hills and the fertile flat coastal plains for agriculture.

Geography
Topography
Pjaia is located on a peninsula on the eastern-most point of the island of Ajudige. It is surrounded by the San Luis Sea to its north and east, the Bay of Pjaia to its south, and the interior plains of Ajudige to its west. Pjaia's main ferry port sits on the deepest section of ocean that the city borders. The city is built onto the hillside of an ancient volcano whose northern flank slid into the ocean due to erosion, earthquakes, tsunamis, and other volcanic activity.
Ecology and Biodiversity
Pjaia was built on top of one the largest San Luisian Phoenix Palm forests in recorded existence. However, Pjaia's forest was isolated from the other palm forests that were once common in the San Luis Sea region and caused it to boast a heightened level of biodiversity. The soil of Pjaia was rocky and lacked the nutrients that would be needed to allow large organisms to thrive. Outside of the San Luisian Palm, the Pjaian Pine (Pjaianian cryptomerioides) is a coniferous tree that is endemic to the Pjaia area. The range of the Pjaian Pine range from the Bay of Pjaia up the hillside to the cliffs at the Ancient City. Today, many Pjaian Pines can be found lining the streets of the city as well as parks and other open spaces. The oldest and most mature Pjaian Pines are found in the Ancient City.
Climate
The Köppen Climate classifiation of Pjaia is CsB (Warm-Summer Mediterranean Climate). It has warm to mildly hot and dry summers, cool and moist winters with heightened precipitation due to its oceanic location, and experiences four distinctive seasons, two of those being transitional seasons.
Demographics
According to the 2020 Ajudige National Census, the racial make up of Pjaia is 63.7% Indigenous San Luisian, 6.3% White, 12.5% Asian, 8.5% Hispanic or Latino, 5.1% Two or More Races, 1.3% Black, 2.1% Pacific Islander, and 0.5% Other
| Racial Composition | Percent of Population |
| Indigenous San Luisian | 63.7% |
| White | 6.3% |
| Asian | 12.5% |
| Hispanic or Latino | 8.5% |
| Black | 1.3% |
| Pacific Islander | 2.1% |
| Two or More Races | 5.1% |
| Other | 0.5% |
People of Asian ancestry are primarily made up Filipinos. Rough estimates put the division of the Asian-Ajudige population as 60% Filipino, 10% Korean, 10% Chinese, 7% Japanese, 5% Lebanese and Palestinian, 3% Indian (ancestry location within the country of India), and 5% as other Asian ethnicities. Majority of the Asian population is Filipino due to Spanish colonization that brought over many Filipino families to work on plantations in Ajudige. These Filipinos mainly come from the northern provinces of the Philippines, including Batanes, Cagayan Valley, Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, and Manila Capital Territory.
White ancestry in Ajudige is predominantly Spanish. Records of European ethnic groups are not recorded in Ajudige, however the vast majority of European-Ajudige ancestry can trace their heritage to southern Spain, mainly Granada, Malaga, and Cadiz. However, Ajuruba was the only city to be occupied by the Dutch, which makes many Ajurubaioux of Dutch and Flemish origin with their ancestry tracing back to Antwerp, Rotterdam, Eindhoven, and Amsterdam.
The Latino population of Ajudige is the fast growing ethnic group in the country, with many citizens of Latin American countries moving to another former Spanish colony for a better job opportunities and security. Many Latinos have move to Ajudige from Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, Panama, Peru, and Chile. However, there is also a sizeable Brazilian population within the country from massive Brazilian migration in the 1960s.
Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
Historically, Pjaia has been one of the most progressive cities in the world for queer and trans rights. Dating back to the Ajudigioux Revolution of 1642, Ajudige legalized homosexuality. Many queer and trans peoples around the world sought refuge in the country due to its cultural tolerance and wide acceptance of homosexuality. Pjaia had the largest influx of queer and trans migrants out of any other city in Ajudige. Many refugees fled execution in both British and French Cascadia, Spanish Occupied New Durban, and other new world colonies.
Today, Pjaia's queer population makes up around 23.6% of the total population of the city, making it one of the queerest cities in the world. Majority of the queer demographic in Pjaia identify as bisexual. Pjaia also boasts many queer-inclusive spaces as well as a queer ballroom circuit that they share with Cascadia and Tulpfloerdam.
Culture
Performing Arts
Pjaia has been the focal point of artistic innovation ever since people first permanently settled in the area. The Pjaia Philharmonic Orchestra is a world acclaimed and award winning ensemble established in 1790 during the Later Ajudige Renaissance. The ensemble performs at the Ajudige National Palace of Arts (Palasio do Ajruteux del'Ajudige), as well as the Pjredexte School of Ballet, Ajudige National Opera, Pjaia Folk Music Society, and the Ajudige-Philippine Dancing and Orchestral Troupe.
Historically, Pjaia has been the focal point of regional artistic movements with the Ajudige Renaissance sparking many romantic-era movements in Cascadia, Ellester, Durban, and other external regions like Tulpfloerdam, Molis, and Jakobstad. The artistic themes that have been most prevalent in Pjaian history is unity with nature, deeply romantic expression, and revolution. Romantic expression has been one of the traits that has defined Pjaia and gave the city one of its most popular nicknames, "The City of Romance" with many domestic and regional authors writing stories regarding deep romantic desires, sexual expression, and courting while visiting or residing in Pjaia.
New Durban
Ellester
Ellester (Russian: Эллестер/Èllester) is a city formerly within Cascadia (As of 16 April, this is the capital of the re-established Republic of Ellester) This city is located in the Northern part of the 1.15 Creative Map, adjacent to New Durban, Kazanova and Lennox. The city is founded by CheesyJeb5892, who is the mayor alongside de-facto co-mayor Irish_Man_56. Ellester is the most northern Cascadian city.
History
There was already a settlement made by the indigenous tribe Gathawk. But because of a flooding around 1594, all the villagers were killed. Later it became more dryer and became land again. In September of 1669, Russian explorers on a ship from Saint-Petersburg called Tsar Alexei wanted to make a settlement around Sain Luis Sea for them to live. They found a little permanent settlement in the North. They started to build traditional Northern Russian houses and made a port called Port El'novka-on-Dostov. Later there came a lot of ships to Ellester. When the ship came from northern places, they always made a stop in Rotterdam and Dutch people then came to the ship. In southern places it stopped in Lisbon and the Portugese came to the ship. Only the British started to discover the Settlement in 1689 and fought and had war called the Anglo-El'novkian war. The Brits had victory for 6 days but then the Russians fought back and won. Some Brits started to live on the settlement. Then in 1694 the Brits introduced slavery and around 800 slaves from West-Africa arrived in Ellester. The slaves worked on a little British settlement called Dunglus. The Russians on the other hand made cities and got more material. But following the Skirmish of 1843, the Slavs rose victorious over the Brits and decided that slavery be abolished. Little is known about the history between 1843 and 1901, but it is inferred that Ellester, within the former Republic of Ellester (then Эльновка/Èlʹnovka) developed friendly relations with Cascadia, the Eire-Nua, and Durban. Eire-Nua established an embassy in the town of El'novka (now Ellester). In 1863 a ship from Veliky Novgorod came to El'novka. The people on the ship were noble Northern Russian families that wanted to make a settlement. And there settlement was called Yezhnovka. One of the families were Razumovsky.
While neutral in World War 1, World War II was on a different avenue. Ellester partially aided the allies, specifically the Soviet Union, which resulted in Ellester permitting Soviet soldiers on Ellester turf (miscellanous: the name "Ellester" came from US and UK airforce pilots harboured in El'novka). In 1950, the Soviet Union established a satelite state called "the People's Socialist Republic of Ellester" (Народная Социалистическая Республика Эллестер). The republic remained a Marxist-Leninist communist dictatorship until Alexej Kuzdrovskij, a premier of the P.S.R.E. formally declared the end of the communist regime and begin liberalization back to the direction of democracy, while remaining socialist. In the late '70s and early '80s, Cascadia broke into a civil war; its civilians blamed Ellester for the cause of the civil war and shortly after the end of the Civil War, Cascadia launched a military operation on the small republic, bringing the nation to its knees and absorbing it into Cascadia. Over the years, Englishmen from Cascadia multiplied in numbers to eventually have English replace Russian as the lingua franca of Ellester; the English population finally exceeded the Russian population around 1992. A motorway through the city was built in 1994, with heavy opposition from the Slavic population, as the highway had NO Russian signs and only English, their efforts proved futile and the highway was built.
Independence Movements (pre-independence)
As the Slavic population finally outnumbered the Anglo population for the first time since 1992 around April 2023, Independence calls have been growing, especially in the midst of a protest by communists, who vandalized Cascadian flags and rose the flags of the Soviet Union. The protestors were "dealt with" and the damage was repaired. On the evening of 12 April, 2023, the parliament approve an "exit Cascadia" bill on the condition of:
"The Municipal Area of Ellester cannot formally leave Cascadia until the 25th of May and is legally required to hold a referendum. In the event that independence is declared without a referendum, the parliamentary members who approve the decision under those illegal circumstances will be heavily reprimanded."
Ellester had 3 options: Stay in Cascadia and stay the same, neutral independence that should mean Ellester had its own government or Join Jatkosota Pact with Jatkosota and Sovisk (Ellester will be independent but with a communist/socialist government).
As of 16 April, 2023, the "No Instant Exit" policy was thrown out and a referendum was held in the PCB community over whenever Ellester should exit, exit as a Jatkosota-brokered communist regime, or remain in Cascadia for the time being. Exiting as a fully-independent republic was voted most, as Ellester exited retaining democratic ideals.
Independence Day
on 16 April, 2023, The referendum reached the conclusion that Ellester will declare independence without any outside parties.
The independence was formally finished on the same day, coinciding with a new tower replacing the Triangle Tower, called the "Polaris Trade Tower" which replaced its former placeholder.
City
the Downtown area is entirely east of Ellester National Highway 15 (also known as Highway 11).
(Map of Ellester; dated 19th of May, 2023. The airport now holds a massive PCBCG base, a new district east of the airport and west of the highway is under progress. It replaces the former unfinished Hancock Heights district. Northwest of the airport are possible suburbs and rajons (regions) zoned for future construction, which may lay along the Durban Highway. The peninsula that downtown Ellester lays on is named "the El'novsk Peninsula" or in Russian, "Ельновский полуостров (El'novskij poluostrov)"

The City of Cape Moss, or Cape Moss is an ongoing project led by Lord Mayor _Travis. It is a modern city in the style of the United Kingdom and draws on inspiration from various locations in the country. It comprises the entirety of the nation of Cape Moss. The project was started in 2020, and work continued until 2021. The project was resurrected at the end of 2023 by _Travis and is his main project.
The Cape Moss City Council is the municipal authority, with a directly elected Lord Mayor, and a City Assembly. The city is split into a number of administrative boroughs which elect a number of councillors to fill the City Assembly. Each borough is also led by a smaller, directly elected local board. Currently, the only extant borough is East Cape Moss which is home to the Town Hall and Lord Mayor's residence. There are future plans for boroughs which contain the national capitol and industrial areas.
History
Cape Moss was founded in 2020 by _Travis. The first construction was the dock area and the Eastern shops. It was originally built so as to establish a Coralish outpost in the Northern Coral Sea, and to counter Cascadian influence in the region. However, Cape Moss became independent during the fall of Corallium in early 2021. The project was abandoned from 2021 to 2023 and became a part of the Third United Republic in 2023, when it was incorporated as part of the State of Corallium.
In late 2023, _Travis decided to cut ties with the United Republic to focus on personal projects, and incorporated Cape Moss as its own nation. The city project was also resurrected, with some builds being moved into the city from other projects. New constructions are underway in the high street area.
