Freeburg

Freeburg is the most populous city in the state of New Leeds. It rests on the bank of the Culver River, and is only 30 miles away from the neighboring (and capital) city of Scarborough.
== History ==
Like many of the large cities on the Culver River, Freeburg started out as a trading post. A large portion of the city's income comes from shipping.
Freeburg is notorious for it's history in crime, especially during the 1970s and 1980s.
== Ban of Hard Candy ==
In 1983, Freeburg notoriously banned the sale and distribution of hard candy due to a drug epidemic, where Russian and Chinese drug manufactures were attempting to smuggle cocaine and other illegal drugs through the port of Freeburg. The drugs were disguised in candy, and the death toll, specifically with children, became so high that the United States government banned the distribution of hard candy in and around Freeburg.
This lead to real and drug-free hard candy becoming a currency among those who wanted it. Because of the increased security checks on every item in the port, the economy of Freeburg slowed down drastically, leading to record numbers of unemployment and poverty, particularly with the police force. Private investigators took the spot of of the police, attempting to stop corruption and enforce the ban on candy. 
Adrian Lawrence is a well known private investigator during this period, who is known for stopping corruption. As of 2019, many details of his case work are unknown, and some of them are being held back by the federal government.
In December of 1984, the candy ban was lifted after Interpol successfully raided and destroyed the drug trafficking operation. However, the city was still left with poverty, unemployment, and corruption.
