==Etymology==
The name Seatram derives from a Lawcrasian term for 'coastal' or 'water-influenced' namely Sijestraim, which was romanized to Seatraime by the French. During British rule, the term was reformed with the Old Crademian word Tarm, meaning 'heaven'. Thus, it can be concluded that the term Seatram means 'Sea Heaven'.
==Geography==
===a. Climate===
Seatram City's climate is humid subtropical (Köppen: Cfa), or temperate continental (Trewartha: Dc, bordering Do downtown), which is also coincidentally midly compatible with Washington D.C. Winters are cool to cold with some snow of varying intensity, while summers are hot and humid. The district is in plant hardiness zone 7a near downtown, and zone 8b elsewhere in the city.
Summers are hot and humid with a June daily average of 85.3°F (29.6°C) and average daily relative humidity around 66%, which can cause moderate personal discomfort. Heat indices regularly approach 100°F (38°C) at the height of summer. The combination of heat and humidity in the summer brings very frequent thunderstorms, some of which occasionally produce tornadoes in the area.
Blizzards affect Washington once every 4 to 6 years on average. The most violent storms, known as nor'easters, often impact large regions of the East Coast. From January 25 to 27, 1936, the city officially received 28 inches (71 cm) of snowfall, the largest snowstorm since official measurements began in 1885. According to notes kept at the time, the city received between 30 and 36 inches (76 and 91 cm) from a snowstorm in January 1772.
Hurricanes or their remnants occasionally impact the area in late summer and early fall. However, they usually are weak by the time they reach Washington, partly due to the city's inland location. Flooding of the Potomac River, however, caused by a combination of high tide, storm surge, and runoff, has been known to cause extensive property damage in the Georgetown neighborhood of the city. Precipitation occurs throughout the year.
The highest recorded temperature was 106°F (41°C) on August 6, 1918, and on July 20, 1930. The lowest recorded temperature was −15°F (−26°C) on February 11, 1899, right before the Great Massachusetts Blizzard of 1899. During a typical year, the city averages about 37 days at or above 90°F (32°C) and 64 nights at or below the freezing mark (32°F or 0°C). On average, the first day with a minimum at or below freezing is November 18 and the last day is March 27.
===b. Neighborhoods & Wards===
Neighborhoods are distinguished by their history, culture, architecture, demographics, and geography. Because Seatram City is the nation's and America's first pre-planned metropolis, neighborhoods were not named until people began to move in. They were named unofficially, defined by the Seatram Planning Office. Like in most major cities, there are neighborhoods like Chinatown or Little Italy, but Seatram City does not have these as of yet. Some neighborhoods have come to form as the population rises.
On the other hand, a ward is a collection of similar neighborhoods, connected together culturally, geographically, and socially. Wards are together part of a single hexagrant, bounded politically. These wards were formed as per the Wards Act of 1879, and named as per the Wards Naming Provision mentioned in the act in itself.
Seatram City's Downtown is defined as per within the city's mature area or inner city. It and the surrounding Cloverhouse, Azurehood, Corkdale, Seavontia, Minerva, Rossipher, Chamomile Park, Champiogne Bay, Bristol Colony, Somerset, and University of Seatram form Seatram City's Central Core. Rossipher and Seavontia are the city's most populated and most densely populated neighbourhoods respectively. The mature area sector also contains 6 former urban municipalities and planned cities annexed by the city over its history, from a about a century ago: Emeraldford, Louisford, West Gattemsburg, St. Staffords, and Molfordshire. They were formerly a part of other surrounding cities and planned metropolitan areas Seatram City borders formed during British colonial times.

Even though Lutheranism is the largest Christian denomination, Seatram City, and the rest of Atlantic Gibralshire. Within Christianity, major denominations include the Roman Catholic Church (44.4% of self-identified Christians) and the United Church (10.5%). Seatram City is home to four major cathedrals, with St. Marianne's Basilica, seating the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Seatram City, All Saints' Cathedral seating the Anglican Diocese of Seatram City, St. Norazhat's Cathedral seating the Morssolaurensche Catholic Eparchy of Seatram City and Lascontia, and St. Sebastian's Cathedral seating the Colombian Orthodox Eparchy of Seatram.

In the 1940s, the local Muslim community within Seatram City began organizing to build a mosque. A local Muslim woman from Ludo-Tunisia, Rafayyel Ramanama, met with the mayor to acquire the land, and campaigned to raise $5,000 for the building. In 1938, Julmhuriya Yusuf-Ali was present at the opening of the new Al-Caliph Mosque, which became the first mosque established in Solomorssian Isles and the 3rd in North America. In the 1990s, Muslim students at the University of Seatram found it difficult to rent prayer rooms large enough to accommodate the local population, and opened the Muslim Community of Seatram City as a mosque and outreach centre in 1992. From these beginnings, Muslims now form the city's largest religious minority, with 83,015 members (2021) representing over 62 ethnic backgrounds at over 20 Seatram City-area mosques (2019). However, it has been arguably speculated that the Muslim community, ever since the Muslamanus Crisis.
==Infrastructure==
Seatram City contains a massive amount of infrastructure using the latest in technological advancement and reconstruction of older dying Solotram City systems and varying amounts on new structures including super skyscrapers, bridges, tunnels, power grid lines, water systems, sewage systems and internet infrastructure. The most notable structure in Seatram City is Interstellar St. Haurts Spire, currently one of the tallest buildings in the world, at a nearly- stagrant 5,210 feet, nearly a mile in height.
===a. Transportation===
====Roadways====
There are 2,400 km (1,500 mi) of streets, parkways, and avenues in the district. After the freeway revolts of the 1960s, the drafting of constructing the interstate highway system, St. Hélena Highways, were constructed and built at least at December 1965. Contrarily, a portion of the highway funding was directed to the region's public transportation infrastructure as well.
The streets were carefully laid out, carefully planned ahead for parking. Streets are 3 lanes across for each side of the street, making it a total of six lanes. Small streets are 2 lanes each side and one way streets are 2 lanes wide. There is no parallel parking as all parking spots are tilted spots so cars can easily pull in and pull out, also providing more parking spaces. Seatram City is known as the most parking-friendly city in the nation, featuring both the tilt spots, increasing available street side parking and advanced parking meters utilizing a credit card slot for purchasing parking time. A car owner may slide a credit card through the meter and dial the length of time in hours and minutes for which they will be parking with a limit up to 24 hours. Meters may also use quarters which each quarter adds a half hour to parking time. Parking is usually also available underground in private company garages throughout the city at higher fees. All streets have been constructed snow resistant. Underneath the roads are a steam and heating system to keep the streets heated during the winter months. This innovation prevents snow from building up on the streets and cuts out the need for snow plows, thus saving money, time, accidents and space.
===b. Utilities===
The Seatram City Water and Sewer Authority, also known as WASA or S.C. Water, is an independent authority of the Seatram City government that provides drinking water and wastewater collection in the city. WASA purchases water from the historic Seatram Aquaduct, which is operated by the Army Corps of Engineers. The water, sourced from the Seavonsche River, is treated and stored in the city's Marianne, Georgetown, and Melliore reservoirs. The aquaduct provides drinking water for a total of 1.1 million people in the district and Seatram as a whole, including Nurlington, Aprilton, and a portion of Narnámo County. The authority also provides sewage treatment services for an additional 1.6 million people in 4 surrounding Seatram and Solotran counties.
Seadel is the city's electric utility and services 793,000 customers in the district and suburban Solotram. An 1889 law prohibits overhead wires within much of the historic City of Seatram. As a result, all power lines and telecommunication cables are located underground in downtown Seatram City, and traffic signals are placed at the edge of the street. A plan announced in 2013 buried an additional 60 miles (97 km) of primary power lines throughout the district.
Seatram Gas & Hydel is the city's natural gas and hydroelectric utility and serves more than a million customers in the district and its suburbs.
