Fudzhi

Fudzhi (old spelling: Fyydzhi), officially Margein Fudzhi, is the third largest metropolitan area in Vandistan. It is located mostly in East Vandistan, however parts are located in North Vandistan and West Vandistan. It was founded during the rule of the Russian Empire and served as the capital city of Vandistan until 2016. Today it is a large center of economy, population, and culture, and is distinct for its culture's large connection to Japan, with a mix of many other influences. 
== History ==
Fudzhi was first settled in 1878, and established in 1883 as Gora Fudzi (Russian: Гора Фудзи, lit. Mount Fuji), named after the highest mountain in Japan due to the region's resemblance. From its initial settlement by the Russian Empire, Gora Fudzi grew to be the most prominent city in Spitzbergen, and became the capital of the region, remaining that way until it was replaced by Longyearbyen in 2016. 
=== Contemporary history ===
During Sillyman supporter's revolt against the government, the Fire Oaks Security Force, later the Fyydzhi Security Force (FSF), absorbed the city's Police Department, and on July 17, May became a prominent figure in Fudzhi. The FSF went under city administration rather than personal administration due to political pressure later that week.
In June 2023, the city was hit by the June 20 Tsunami and Earthquake. It was one of the less hit areas, as it has a largely mountainous terrain and the majority of people were evacuated before the Tsunami arrived. Casualities in the city were in the low hundreds. Camp Beta was established north of the city for refugees mostly from Longyearbyen. Camp Beta was then integrated into the city and renamed Fudzifalen, it's population was 140,000, mostly refugees. By July it had fallen to 36,000, but began to rise one again a few months later.
As of Febuary 2nd, there is an industrial plan ongoing in the city initialized as the Gora Fudzi Socialist Industrial Revitilization Plan by Councillor May. It works towards expanding the industrial sector of Fudzhi to a greater extant and to bring jobs to the people of the city.
