Blahville

Blahville is a de jure neighborhoodde facto a town of Athens City, located in the border of Athens County and Milton County, with the majority of its residents residing in the former. Blahville has a population of 12,394 people as of 2021 and is mostly made up of medium-sized, two-story wooden houses with a few local commercial buildings. Along with an unused airport, the town has a helipad. Blahville is the only town in the Athens Federation that is entirely solar-powered, making it the federation's first sustainable community. Blahville is also known for being the hometown of Milton McKeglerton, an Athens celebrity.
Despite having an elected mayor and operating as a town, the city is currently classified as an unincorporated city of Athens, which local residents want to change.
==History==
Blahville was founded in 1997 by R. D. Foamix, a member of the prestigious Foamix family, who was dissatisfied with the bland, gray buildings of Athens' suburbs and spent over $5 million of his own money to build an exurb of Athens called Blahville. This was established in a deal with Athens City mayor Opiata Mazat (ACP), who agreed to lease the southern portion of the city to Foamix for 20 years. The following year, Foamix spent some of his money on a small airport, which was eventually abandoned and replaced with a small helipad. The existing structures were destroyed by a small earthquake in 2001, with only the ruins of a small terminal and a hangar remaining.
By the late 2000s, Blahville turned into a fully solar-powered, environmentally-friendly neighborhood, the first of the federation. This resulted in high amounts of subsidies being given to the neighborhood from the city, which helped its development. However, an investigation started by the Athens Court revealed that, during a town revitalization in 2015, which resulted in the abandonment of the previous andesite/diorite/granite standard in favor of something more modern, two-thirds of the subsidies went to Foamix family members, and not the city. This resulted in the subsidies being cut, and in 2018, Athens Cty Mayor Joanna Beatrice-Taylor (ASP) decided to not renew the 20-year lease upon its expiration, with the goal of regaining full control of Blahville. J. D. Foamix, the then-head of the family, disapproved of her decision and attempted to assassinate Beatrice-Taylor and her security guard, Hubert Farnsworth; this failed and Foamix was caught and convicted in 2019 of racketeering, bribery, kickbacks, corruption, attempted murder, and assault with a deadly weapon.
Despite this, there has been no change in the control of the city; it has an elected mayor (unrecognized by Athens City) and also a 7-member city council, composted of Foamix family members.
