## History

Marima City was settled by Bilvan explorers sometime in 1747 who were charmed by the divinity of the land and the extreme biodiversity of the state of Bayland's wildlife, natural regions, and its perfect weather. The settlement became a hotspot for travelling settlers and majority of them were Bilvan and a treaty was suggested to make most of Bilva's population move to Bayland for a "new start". By the mid 19th century, the city had about 260,000 people residing in it with majority being from the kingdom of Bilva. No indigenous peoples resided on the land so no wars nor converting was present but a huge mass migration from southern and western Parania was definetely present.

## Geography

Marima City is located at the most easternmost point of the Vitena Sea in southern Bayland and has eight other municipilaties that form the Bayland metro area, with all the cities' populations combined, the metropolitan area has a population of an estimated 3.4-3.8 million peoples. The city is located in subtropical swampland that is also abundant in sagebrush, the introduced red hot poker (Kniphofia) and the native desert fan palm (Washingtonia filifera), if you drive about 2-3 hours east towards Dasinglet or southeastward towards the Heckman Desert the crisp, green and slightly exotic landscape will become dry and hilly and abundant of saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea). Marima City has about nine different municipilaties with the most populated being Marima City itself. The city is one of the most southern major cities in Nareemia but a few major cities are still more south than Marima City itself such as Agricola in Nocaliena, Bradley in Dasinglet, San Brendan in Southport, and Port Limo in Desert Sur. The city very rarely experiences snow and rain, with 347 days of sunlight, the remaining "unsunny" days being mostly present in the late summertime.

Animals such as the hispid cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus), white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginiana), wild boar (Sus scrofa), opossum (Didelphis virginiana), coyote (Canis latrans) and the great-tailed grackle (Quiscalus mexicanus) are common throughout the city, though you may be lucky to see the other shy animals that dwell in the city including jaguarundis (Herpailurus yagouaround), gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus), resh cicadas (Megatibicen resh), and cougars (Puma concolor). Many animals are absent from the city but were once common including red foxes (Vulpes vulpes), raccoons (Procyon lotor), black bears (Ursus americanus), mule deer (Odocoileus herminous), striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), and crows (Corvus corvax), these animals are extremely rare to see as of today in the city because of overhunting by the settlers. Coyote attacks are an ongoing problem in Marima City with an estimated 54-72 incidents per year, Marima City, Yuberta, Blackstone, Thesiger, and Nayla are the five single cities with the most coyote problems in Nareemia.
