Chusei

Chusei, formerly known as Astoria, is the largest city and capital of Elskaguard. It was founded on April 16, 2024 (3 VE) by Luke Pogerston and was the first ever city in Elskaguard. Its mayor is currently Luke Pogerston with the government of Elskaguard acting as the government of Chusei.
Chusei is split into 10 districts, which before the rebrand from Novastonia to Elskaguard were all different building styles and cultures. Chusei is currently working on transitioning all districts to either a Japanese, Norse, or Japanorse theme.
== Geography ==
Chusei is bordered to the north by Pirenia prefeucture/claim and the cities of Dovmy and StarBay. To the east, it is bordered by the Invicta River and has bridges to the East Bank prefecture and Belumis, Michava. To the south, it is bordered by Bergteich and to the west it is bordered by the Talasi Spine. The closest claims to Chusei to the west are Froygland and Wadiya, Michava.
For the most part, Chusei is flat and hilly, but has cliffs at some points as you get closer to Bergteich.
== Government ==
Chusei is run by a mayor, but is mainly under the governance of the Elskaguardese government. Before , Chusei was run by nine district administrators and a mayor. Each administrator would run one of the districts. This role was replaced by guilds, which were then replaced by clans.

== Districts ==
Before the rebrand, each district had its own culture and had an administrator. After the rebrand, all districts adopted Japanorse and all came under the control of the Elskaguardese government and the mayor.
