Cheemis (City)

Cheemis is a city located on the west bank of the Scheisskarminrot Lake in the center of the Shitpostus province. It is mostly comprised of Shiba Inus of the Shinto faith, although other ethnicities and religions do exist. It was formed shortly after the Unification War and is well-known across the Garrison for its exquisite cuisine, high literacy rate (1st place in the entire Garrison), and cleanliness (3rd place in the entire Garrison). It was a semi-autonomous city-state under Goated's regime, but after his abdication the Staff Junta integrated it into Shitpostus and have cut much of the excessive funding under Goated.

## History

### ORIGINS

Shortly after the Unification Wars ended, a group of Shiba Inus settled on the bank of the Scheisskarminrot and set up a small village. For several years, it remained a small, unnoteworthy village merely used as a rest stop by most foreigners. Eventually, a restaurant called Kabosushokumotsu serving authentic Shibe cuisine was established and, over the course of 2 decades, word spread of its gourmet food, eventually reaching Emperor Goated. On a visit to the village, Goated was so impressed by the restaurant that he chose to increase spending in the small village to grow it.

### GOATED'S FUNDING

After Goated increased spending in the city, it quickly grew into one of the largest cities in the Garrison, and in Shitpostus it was second only to the capital, Shitpostis. During this time the literacy rate in the city skyrocketed, reaching 99% by the end of the decade. The city also saw recognition as a semi-independent city-state, as it was exempt from the police, taxes, conscription, etc. of the rest of the Garrison, due to its extremely different populace, as well as Goated's bias towards it. Halfway through the decade, the Cheemis Waste Disposal Unit (CWDU) was formed. The CWDU was a division of the emergency services dedicated to keeping the city clean. It quickly reached the spot of the most clean city in the Garrison.

### AFTER GOATED'S ABDICATION

On December 11th, 2022, Goated suddenly abdicated from the throne, claiming he disliked the community and wanted to move on to other ventures. The Garrison quickly fell into chaos, with the Staff being split into the High Command Council (HCC) and the Staff Junta. During this time, Cheemis attempted to isolate itself, however after the Junta came out on top it was quickly integrated into the Shitpostus province. Spending was also cut drastically, and now the cleanliness has dropped to 3rd place. The city was used as the staging ground for the January 3rd Coup led by Magnoes against Clashgamer04.

### FREE CITY OF CHEEMIS

On January 9th, 2023, the leader of the Holy Goated Empire, Kwazy, dissolved the government and anarchy fell across the Garrison. As soon as the news reached Cheemis, the city declared its independence from the Garrison as the Free City of Cheemis, headed by Cheems Dev. Immediately, militia units formed and raided the local weapons cache and prepared to defend against any attacks on the city.

### MERGE WITH THE GARRISON CONFEDERATION

On January 10th, 2023, the Free City of Cheemis approached the Garrison Confederation with a deal: the city would join the Confederation, but would retain a level of autonomy. The deal was accepted, and now the city of Cheemis is known as the Autonomous City of Cheemis, and it is under the jurisdiction of the Garrison Confederation.
