Yakima

== Location Description ==
Yakima is a large metropolitan area in the center of Hell's pentagram, and has a population of about 19.8 million people, which makes it slightly smaller than the São Paulo metropolitan area in Brazil. It is the place that many demons first show up after their deaths, and also sports a large population of born demons (such as Charlie Morningstar). The city is infamous for both its general unclean nature, rampant drug problems, corrupt police services, frequent 'house flipper' exterminations by Jermstiel and a distinct lack of available bathrooms. While these are notable issues, the city at least does not suffer from problems other regions of hell do, such as scorching hot sands, intense winds, boiling rivers of blood, and having to live next door to Margaret Thatcher in the darkest pits of hell. This is also the home of the Hazbin Hotel as well as the Hell royal family, including Lucifer and Charlie Morningstar.
== History ==
While this area of hell has been heavily populated for eons, the specific city of Yakima was established around the 8th century when Lucifer began constructing a defensive wall around the area. At this point, he also made it his seat of power in Hell, making it much more important than surrounding cities. The city would continue to grow as more and more people died on earth and/or reproduced in hell. Over time, the angels became more and more lenient with carrying out punishments, and eventually stopped completely for certain sins. This general leniency led to Yakima growing even more, as now demons had more time on their hands when they were not carrying out their punishments. Yakima was changed the most by this leniency, as its large population made it harder and harder to manage by angels. As of today, the only real threats from heaven are Jermstiel, which even at that point is more akin to savage murders than divine judgement. The most recent change in the city is the Hazbin Hotel, which finally sees the city attempting to better hell by reforming sinners, although they are very behind the bandwagon of other cities that improve hell itself.

== Fun Facts ==
* Yakima is named after the real life town in Washington known as Yakima, which also has few bathrooms.
* Initially, this name change of pentagram city was fiercely opposed by former Porksodafan 'porksodafan102', but has now been approved by the remaining porksodafans for being 'funny'
** This is similar to Pewdiepie being Danish, which has an almost identical story behind it.
* It is unknown why the city is called Yakima in canon, as it was founded much before the real life town would have been, and even that town's name origin is disputed and unknown.
