San Vooperisco

## Map

San Vooperisco is known as the heart of disaster in Vooperia, but that reputation has died down in the decades. Sophisticated technology and the generally calmer climate and activity of SpookVooper mean San Vooperisco rarely sees waves like they did back in the old days - and it's rare for such a sight to be accompanied by any real damage.

The city, having been rebuilt several times during its founding, lies upon an intricate network of canals and walls layed down to prevent flooding during periods of high tidal activity. Because of this, during the low tides, the city has a social climate similar to that of old-school California: The local teens have plenty of cement surfaces to grafitti, and the canals prove a major destination for skateboarders who don't fear getting a little risky.

Most major infrastructure and power lines have moved to the mountains, and along with that the industry. Bunkers dot the surface, should a disaster hit yet again.

## History

### **The GamerZ Era**

Early on in it's history, San Vooperisco was torn and battered from constant natural disasters. It's former leader, **GamerZ**, had put the districts education, it's protection from natural disasters, and critical infrastructure on the back-burner. He instead chose to spend district funds on expensive and increasingly lavish parties, spending the money on improving his own lifestyle rather than improving the wellbeing of the district and the peoples' lives.

This ignorance of problems his constant inaction in the face of threats to the district caused millions to die, and severely hurt the district. After he was exiled to another planet by Sh00b, a very large political power vacuum in the district began to open up, while others were concerned about the future of the District. One political player shown through as a great leader for San Vooperisco, Pope Francis.

### **Pope Francis Era**

After the end of the catastrophic and destructive era of GamerZ, the stage was set for the then-young politician Pope Francis to take control. He rapidly rose in prominence to become the Senator of the district. Within the first few months Pope had completely changed the district government and within the next couple years had created some of the most expansive and innovative infrastructure in all of Vooperia.

He initiated a series of large-scale changes,

1. Under the San Vooperisco Department of Defense (DOD) he created the
	1. San Vooperisco Pump Corps, which proved highly effective during multiple tsunami's and hurricanes.
	2. San Vooperisco Coast Guard to protect against pirates and save civilians in marine accidents, as well as warn mariners in the event of a tsunami or hurricane.
2. He created the San Vooperisco Department of Transportation (svDOT)
	1. He increased funding to svDOT and a focused heavily on creating San Vooperisco into the infrastructure powerhouse that it is today. The most expensive and innovative project of them all was the I-6 project, which winded through San Vooperisco's largest mountain range, the Sierra Nevada's.
	2. He also focused on creating the infrastructure to benefit the business and the average San Vooperiscan the most. Many projects were built around giving space and area for business to grow and expand. Which they proved effective in doing.

One of the major things he initiated was the creation of a democratic and stable government for the District. He created the:

1. San Vooperisco Legislature to act as the *Legislative branch* of the San Vooperiscan government.
2. Governor of San Vooperisco to act as the head of the Legislature and as the *semi-executive*.
3. Senator of San Vooperisco as the *Executive branch* of the District.
4. Chief Judge of San Vooperisco as the *Judicial brach* of the District.

## **Geography**

San Vooperisco is bordered by the Corgi District to the south, New Yam to the west, and a quadripoint with Vooperia City to the southwest. The district has an extensive coastline, with the Central Sea to the east and the Tsunamic Ocean to the north.

In the northwest of the district lies the San Bolsivo valley, bounded by the Sierra Nevada (Snowy Range) in the south, the central mountain ranges in the east, Mission Bay to the north and by the border with New Yam in the west. The San Bolsivo Valley is San Vooperisco's productive agricultural heartland.

Divided in two by the Central Mountain ranges, the eastern portion, the Santo Valley serves as the watershed of the Rio Santo River, while the eastern portion, the Sunset Valley is the watershed for the Sunset River. Both valleys derive their names from the rivers that flow through them. With extensive dredging programs, the Rio Santo and the Sunset Rivers have remained deep enough for several inland cities to be seaports.

The Rio Santo-Sunset River Delta is a critical water supply hub for the district. Water is diverted from the delta and through an extensive network of pumps and canals that traverse nearly the length of the District, to the Cabo de Unidad. Water from the Delta provides drinking water for nearly 23 million people, almost two-thirds of the district's population as well as water for farmers in the San Bolivia Valley.

Bahía de Unidad lies at the confluence of the Rio Santo and Sunset Rivers. The water flows into the Tsunamic Ocean, via the Capo de Unidad. The Channel Islands are located off the Southern coast, while the Farallon Islands lie west of San Francisco.

The Sierra Nevada (Spanish for "snowy range") includes the highest peak in the 15 districts, Mount Unidad, at 14,505 feet (4,421 m). The range encircles Voopsemite Valley, famous for its glacially carved domes, and Bosque National Park, home to the giant Segoña trees, the largest living organisms on SpookVooper, and the deep freshwater lake, Lake Manaño, the largest lake in the district by volume.
