Powon

Powon is a city in the southern tundra regions, and the easternmost city in the DSRR. Originally founded by Yellow forces after a raid on the region, the city was returned to Red control in a diplomatic agreement some time ago. Now the city is known for the location of many Red-Yellow joint ventures, as well as its world famous Pink Lemonade.

### History

Powon was founded after Y.O.U. forces took the south eastern tip of the continent during a summer invasion, as something of a victory monument, but they were soon to discover that the landscape was unforgiving once the seasons changed. The Yellow forces and colonists were not used to the harsh cold, having arrived expecting bountiful and pleasant new pastures. The only saving grace of the seemingly doomed settlement was soon discovered when the lemon trees planted upon the founding of the city produced fruit with a reddish pink hue. The pink lemons were not good for eating, but when used for lemonade they were found to produce a drink of exceptional quality. Soon the city became a centre for Pink Lemonade production, attracting Red and Yellow citizens to capitalise on the booming new market.

After some time however it became clear to the Union government that to maintain the overseas city was not worth the trouble, since the climate of the region was not as they expected and high-income tourism was not possible. A diplomatic accord was reached between the DSRR and YOU governments, known as the Belvoir Treaty, whereby the Union would cede control of Powon to the DSRR, but maintain controlling shares in the three most lucrative Pink Lemonade companies: Mug Wine Produce, Blood-Piss Pink Lemonade (which went under shortly afterwa,rds, and r beverages. Under the hardier Reds, Powon grew into a true city rather than a settlement surviving only on industry, and now is home to the Red-Yellow History centre, as well as the Pizza Emporium, another world famous food seller benefiting from the connection between the two nations.

Recently the Yellow controlled businesses have lost their hegemony, but remain competitive in the pink lemonade market to this day. The city is also home to the Hall of The Drunken Comrades, where alliances, treaties, and deals are brokered between Yellow and Red governments.

### City Layout

The centre of Powon features traditional Yellow architecture, including golden, smooth pillars, and many south-facing windows and gardens to maximise the impact of The Sun in the colder climate. The Hall of The Drunken Comrades, the Pizza Emporium, and the offices of many of the older, successful Pink Lemonade companies are located in this central area.

Further from the city centre the buildings become less grand and more modest, but now sport high prices due to their favourable location. This area, especially the south side, features homes of the upper-middle class, as well as Powon Academy, a university jointly funded by the DSRR and YOU governments, specialising in intercolour relations and business management. Many mixed-faith religious institutions are also found in this area of the city.

Even further from the city centre the architecture becomes distinctly Red in style, largely built following the Belvoir treaty by industrious Red businessmen looking to expand their organisations in the area. Many Pink Lemonade factories can be found here, as well as large swathes of workers' apartments built to accommodate the growing industry.
