The City (Syrrealkz)

**The City** is a fictional city-state in Suyukaz's fictional universe. It is the main location of the "The City" lore (also known as the Corinett lore), being Corinett's homeland. The City is primarily depicted being under the illegal occupation of the violent military regime, the Occupiers.

## History

The City was built with assistance of an advanced unknown civilization since an unknown period of history. The people of this civilization built the City with advanced architecture and technology which made the city prosperous and thriving, with people of various cultures and origins coexisting in harmony.

After the two world wars in the first half of the 21st century, the mysterious civilization had disappeared, though their technologies were passed down to the residents of the City. It was unknown why the rest of the world refused to adapt their technology.

### 1948

In 1948, [the Country] was founded, and began trying to annex the City, expelling its residents with military force including methods which broke international laws. This became the dawn of the City's human rights crisis and [the Country]'s war crime issue. This made 1948 the black mark of the City's history, often simply called as "The 48".

### 1967

The City became the battleground of the Six-Day War, leading to mass destruction and refuge of its citizens.

### 2010s-2020s

The Northern District became a battleground for a week-long battle during the War, though the only involved belligerent known is the German Army, presumably fighting against [the Country]. Spook Hartmann earned 13 aerial victories in three days during this battle alone, earning him the nickname "(German) Ghost of the Northern District".

After the conclusion of the War, the country's military occupation continued as normal, especially in other regions.

### 2020s

[The Country]'s illegal military occupation became a world highlight in the March of 2021, as people angered over the expelling of City residents being made under the guise of a real estate dispute. [The Country] eventually made serious military action on the Citizens under the guise of opposition against the City Resistance Forces, resulting in numerous casualties. The events grasped the attention of world leaders and politicians worldwide.

However, the trend heat cooled down as [The Country] signed a ceasefire with the City Resistance Forces. This did not stop [The Country]'s hostilities towards the City civilians.

## Geography

The City encompasses a large area covered by an industrial megacity. A number of districts were identified in the City:

* The Central District - The most developed area of the City, with the largest industrial and economic centers. It is also the location of the Beanstalk tower.
* The Northern District - One of the two districts in the City under a state of continuous violent military action by [The Country], the other being the Coastal District.
* The Coastal District - The other military-pressurized district of the City.

## Trivia

* In the Syrrealkz fiction, The City replaces the State of Palestine, and is an indirect equivalent of the state. It is created to avoid direct Palestinian hate while being promoted to the anime art community, as the idea of the Corinett lore is to raise awareness about illegal occupation occuring in Palestine using a fictional location which mirrors the exact ongoing events.
	+ The City's flag is remixed from the Palestinian (and pan-arab, such as UAE, Kuwaiti and Jordan) flag, though the actual Palestinian flag itself sometimes makes cameos and is often called the "Flag of Hope and Freedom".
* The architecture of the City is inspired by the industrial megacity in the anime Girls' Last Tour as well as having resemblance to Rawabi, a Palestinian planned city currently under construction.
