Mobius Corners (EH)

Mobius Corners is a city on the planet Mobius in the Emerald Hill universe. It is located in the Midlands region. The city is the largest in the Federal Republic of Emeraldsbourg and is the national capital of the country. From the city's founding in mid-1802, just after the country's
independence, the city would emerge as an important financial center and leader in the country. The city is also the county seat of Sullivan County.
==Recent History==
===Administration Crisis===
Many lobbyists and critics have stated that because Mobius Corners is the capital AND a large city, it deserves its own "special zone". A bill has been introduced in Parliament to strip Sullivan County of its status as home to the capital and create a "Capital Zone" around Mobius Corners. This would severely reduce the amount of revenue going into Sullivan County. The bill has yet to be passed in Parliament, however, due to Shahooter's Rebellion, the ongoing tax crisis and border closing, and new leadership.

=== Transportation ===
Mobius Corners, being the national capital of the F.R.E., prides itself with many different transportation measures. These measures are mostly effective, and provides a better way around than by car in most cases.
*FASTLINK is the capital city's public transit system. FASTLINK is funded by the county and the national government in some cases, so fares are lower than other systems around the country. The system provides bus transit to Mobius Corners, as well as Sullivan, Waxachie and Stewburt counties, in addition to one route traveling to Red Bluff County. The subway system has 7 lines, the last one being opened in 2005. The subway system serves Mobius Corners proper, as well as most of Sullivan and Waxachie Counties.
*MOBRAC (MOBian RAil Connection) is the commuter rail service. The MOBRAC system offers a better alternative to FASTLINK, but the fares are a little more expensive. MOBRAC has most of its stations in outlying areas of Red Bluff County, Waxachie County, Bedford and Stewburt Counties, but service is provided intown as well.
*For those who wish to get around by car, a few freeways serve the area: Route 72 (Thomas Hardwinkle Expressway), Route 172 (Crosstown Expressway), Route 264 (Waxachie Loop), Route 54 (Beauwill Freeway), and Route 458 (Northside Parkway). These routes are not in need of much replacement, and are the main preferences to get around the area. However, duing rush hour, the freeways are packed and jammed and you can't go anywhere.
