Myōri

Myōri [妙欺; みょうり / Sunpaku: まおり] is a city located in south-eastern Zōhai Prefecture. As of 2020, it had a population of around 94,000.
The area of modern-day Myōri was historically agricultural. The area was additionally used as a retreat for members of both the Summui and mainland aristocracy from the 1200s. Consequently, the settlement was strongly influenced, economically and culturally, by the central Summui state. The city's proximity to the former capital of Takemugi meant that there was often interactions between the aristocracy in the capital and the common merchant classes of Myōkei.
The city is located on the large Doshō Plain, to the south of Nasamazu, and is surrounded by various other smaller settlements. It has some access to Kagino Bay, but a fishing community never developed. Lake Kokuya lies to the east of Myōri, and is fed by the Haka River, which flows down from the Torichi Mountains. Lake Kokuya is known for the production of scallops, shrimps and oysters, which contributes considerably to the wider economy.
== Economy ==
Agricultural production has declined in Myōri over recent decades. Like many other areas of Zōhai, the city is known for its berry farms and its horticulture. Rice and wheat are also cultivated in the farming sector of the city, along with naranō potatoes.
Rent from land used for military testing facilities by the Kantonese government remains a large source of income for Myōri. In recent years the government has attempted to further diversify the local economy, focusing on traditional crafts in particular.
