Cepton

The Democratic Republic of Cepton is a
region that is part of the Vexagon continent. Cepton is bordered by Neon in the
north and has its coastal borders surrounded by the Bofamic ocean. Recent years
of industrial resources in mineral mining, gas, oil and nuclear power has given
Cepton one of the world’s highest GDP ratings.

The region
was first discovered in 2010 by group of Ceptonian rebels. After being
colonized during the 2012-2013 Neon-Cepton union, they first gained
independence as a united region in 8 March 2013. The parliament is in the region’s
capital Jijilocity, where current president Aletta Yami Parks is seated. Cepton
is a peninsula divided by 4 counties’,
these are Sprucewood, Blackwood, Dureqville and Jijilocity.  Ceptonian`s are liberalists, well-educated
and rich.

Cepton has a total area of 2 970 000 bm2 and a
population of 48 000 000 (as of May 2019). It has a very long coastline
around its total area and claims a large portion of islands in the Bofamic
ocean. Some notable ones being Wake, Mushroom, Maynea, Dao and Yami island. Cepton
is a founding member of the United Regions and the G7.

The Ceptonian government has large ownership positions in key industrial
sectors, having extensive reserves of petroleum, natural gas, minerals, lumber,
seafood, and freshwater. The petroleum industry accounts for around a
40% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP). On a per-capita basis, Cepton
is the third largest producer of oil and natural gas in the world.

The region has the third-highest per capita income in the
world on the World Bank list. Cepton has one of the lowest crime
rates in the world.

### History

The Cepton
region was first discovered in late 2010, by a group of people known as the
Ceptonian movement. This group had escaped an ongoing war that was taking place
in the city of Xoyjaz (Zeon city) many blocks away, north of Cepton. The war
forced people from the first settlement to escape their homes and during this
time the power shift of beliefs happened when Xoyjaz declared himself as
emperor. As this change went against the beliefs of the Ceptonian movement, it
made a larger separation between the two parties.

As the people
moved south to escape the war zone, the Ceptonian movement did not believe the
new land would be safe enough. This separated the path between Ceptonians and
the Empire as they continued to move south. This new land settlement later
became what is known as Ceptonia. The war in the north gave Ceptonians much
time to build their own society. Ceptonians sensed the potential danger that
could bring their settlements down, so they started training soldiers and had a
large wall built to prevent mobs attacking them. Notchism was highly practiced
and the most historical landmark today stands as the Kings Palace (Notch
Palace) as a tribute to their god. During the last moments of the Mob war,
Ceptonians had sent their best soldiers to battle alongside the Neonian’s.
After both parties went victorious over the mobs, Neon and Cepton were
established as regions.

**Neon-Cepton union**
As Neon was rebuilding their region in the aftermath
of an intense war period, Cepton was founded in the south by a Ceptonian
regional council. The Ceptonian movement had the resources and time to build a
whole new regime. Their beliefs were based on Notch as the first and only
creator, so they had finished building a huge monument honoring Notch`s greatness.

In order to build their region, Cepton
sought help from a more powerful Neon region. Neon provided Cepton everything
they needed to build up their economy and region. This resulted in the “Zeon
treaty”, where Neon government would gain major control over Cepton territory
as part of their agreement. As time progressed you would see more Neonian flags
in Cepton, Neon police and companies expanding their seeds in the region.

The old mob war protection wall between
Neon and Cepton was now transformed into a border between the regions by the
Neon government to regulate traffic as Ceptonian’s tried getting into Neon for
work purposes. As the region of Cepton started growing under Neon supervision,
the government did not approve Ceptonian leadership. Instead the President of
Neon placed King Xoyjaz in power to rule Cepton. The king renamed Notch’s
temple in Jijilocity (Capital of Cepton) to King’s palace in favor of himself.
A large community in Cepton did not approved of this at all, so they took their
free speech to the streets of Jijilocity in demonstration. The king ignored the
protestants and it resulted into riots which was met with violent police forces
putting people down.

As a punishment the president of Neon
taxed Ceptonian citizens with higher import charge & property fees. The
whole idea of building a new Cepton faded away as Neon abused Cepton resources
directly to build their own region. A large amount of coal, iron & gas was
imported from Cepton to Neon. Cepton became Neon`s industrial theme park and
the people of Cepton had enough with the ongoing exploitation. Ceptonians felt
suppressed and grew tired of it while Neonian`s would visit to use their land
without paying taxes.

**Ceptonian Revolution**
During Neon-Cepton union, a new political movement was
growing fast in the underground scenes of Jijilocity. Aletta Yami Parks was
elected leader of the Ceptonian republic party who raised the political group
into parliament on 1July 2012. Neon`s position in Cepton was
weakening and they had lost 95% of Ceptonian voters in favor of the
Republicans. Neon allowed Cepton to hold their own election, and on 7 March
2013, Aletta Yami Parks of the Ceptonian republic party was elected as
president of the Cepton region. The next day (March 8th) became
Cepton`s Independence Day and a declaration was made between the new Cepton
government and Neon to decrease all Neonian activity in Cepton & take their
resources out of the region, or else Cepton wouldn't allow Neon to use their
land in other contexts. Neon went through with the deal and a new Cepton was
born.

**The rise of Cepton**
Cepton received a lot of praise from their peers
during their independence. The region held a large amount of natural resources
which many companies around the world were interested inn. With permission from
the Cepton government, many companies started investing funds in the region,
giving Cepton`s largest economic growth by the year of 2014. On the
counterpart, Neon would face a huge economic crisis as Cepton would pass Neon
to become a superpower on Zearth.

Cepton`s success was an explosion of
growth in many ways. Both the financial and industrial scenes of Cepton were
blossoming, Jijilocity grew to become a giant metropolis. Cepton attracted many
other regions and nations to do business with them, and so the rise of Cepton
had begun for the better future.

**Neon & Cepton turmoil**
By the time of summer 2015, both regions had made
headlines again as the tension was compared to the great suppression of 2012.
Cepton was recognized as a leading superpower, while Neon was still on the rise
to restore its glory. Past events between the regions had kept the tension in a
cold period. Most noticeable the declaration of independence of Cepton and the
decision of not removing the border wall between the regions had kept the
regions on their guard. Neonian intel had gathered information about a 5
billion Emerald (Em) deal determined by the Cepton parliament to convict a
military program. The Delta program involved building the regions first
independent army, which stunned the Neonian government to raise questions. The
presidential party suggested their response to the delta with the echo program.
The plan was to build military bases near Jijilocity, protecting the city from
any mob invasion. More control had been added to the borders and the ministry
of defense even critiqued Neon`s use of attack strategies against mobs in the
past. Both capital cities of Cepton and Neon great made headlines around
Zearth.

**Industrial revolution**
Cepton has in recent years blossomed forward to become
the superpower it is today. Nuclear technology, oil, mineral mining and gas has
made significant progress in Cepton`s economy since 2016. They region is rich
of natural resources and just recently started their nuclear power plants to
power the region like never before.

**Neon-Cepton border**
The threat of an attack in Ceptonian territory during
the mob war was deemed as high, and so a military force was recruited
patrolling alongside a border wall created between the two lands. During union
times the wall was used as a border control pass between the regions and once
the union broke up, Cepton decided not to take down the wall. Ever since the UR
commission was established in Neon, it has become easier to cross the border
then before. Some still suggest taking down the border is the better option.
During recent UR council meetings, Cepton have suggested to extend their
borders into Neon where they claim to own land. The Wake islands, east of the
Neon-Cepton border, has started a territorial dispute in which Neon claims to
own the Temsah island, while Cepton claim the rights to all the Wake islands.

Some speculations suggest that in the
aftermath of the “Maritime border agreement for all regions” by the UR
commission, that the two superpowers fight to extend their borders into newly
discovered oil fields. Some even suggest Cepton are planning to make artificial
military islands just to extend their borders further and claim more fields.
The race for territorial gain is being monitored by Neon region and do spark
some heat between the regions.

### Geography

**Environment**
Cepton has a wide range of plan forest territory,
lakes, mountains and coastlines. North eastern provinces are much colder, with
wide forest lands before it hits the regions peek Mt. Lucas, where you can ski
in the hilly parts of Cepton. It has a flat terrain in the midsection of the
region and table flat mountain hill to the south before hitting Bedrock cliffs
which ends the geo borders of the region.

Cepton has 1 major lake but no rivers. Approximately 35% of the region’s surface covered in
forestation. Mt. Lucas (112 B.A.S.L) is the tallest mountain in Cepton and 7th
tallest in the world, located north east of Jijilocity city. Bedrock cliffs are
the longest hill range in Cepton, located south of Jijilocity with an area of 423 056
bm2.  Cepton has a lot of
islands both in of the coast and the inner lands claiming about 40 islands in
total. 65% of the total area is flat in Cepton. It has a wide maritime border
extending twice its size outside its mainland. Cepton is surrounded by its
coastal borders before hitting Neon in the north.

**Climate**
The southern and western parts of Cepton, fully
exposed to Bofamic storm fronts, experience more precipitation and have milder
winters than the eastern and far northern parts. Areas to the west of the
coastal fronts are in a rain shadow and have lower rain and snow totals
than the north. The lowlands around Jijilocity have the warmest and sunniest
summers, but also cold weather and snow in wintertime.

The coastal climate of Cepton is exceptionally mild compared with areas
on similar latitudes elsewhere in the world, with the Bazcet
Stream passing directly offshore the eastern areas of the Bofamic coast,
continuously warming the region in the winter. Temperature anomalies found in
coastal locations are exceptional, with Dureqville lacking a
meteorological winter despite being close south of the Southern Arctic Circle.
The Bazcet Stream has this effect only on the eastern parts of Cepton. The
eastern coast of Cepton would thus be ice-covered if not for the Bazcet Stream.
Jijilocity has more of a continental climate, similar to Neon's. The low ranges
have subarctic and tundra climates. There is also very high rainfall in areas
exposed to the Bofamic, such as Dureqville. Jijilocity, in comparison, is dry,
being in a rain shadow.

**Biodiversity**
The Cepton region is home to a diverse collection of
species, most of which can be found within Cepton’s great forests and sprawling
plains. As well, a unique selection of marine life can be found off the coast
of Cepton that are not found elsewhere. In more recent Cepton history,
biodiversity has both increased, due to new settlers bringing species from
Neon, and decreased in other areas, as some species have been threatened by the
increase in new towns and farms endangering their natural habitat. In Cepton,
no official government policies have been put into place to protect
biodiversity; however, some non-government organizations dedicated to
protecting the wildlife of Cepton have received funding from the government.

Before Cepton was settled, the majority of land was covered with
forests and plains, and also included a small coastal region. It is unknown how
many of the species of grass and grain found in the plains were brought by
settlers, as the first written record of species was not documented until long
after the first settlers had started cultivating food. The earliest records on
species in the Cepton region were written by Duncan Keene, a young man born
into a farming family who found much more fascination in studying plants and
animals than in raising them. From the records of Duncan Keene, modern day
scientists and biologists have been able to determine the impact that settlers
had on the natural diversity of Cepton and have been able to recommend plans
for the protection of species that may become further endangered by the
increasing settlement of wild areas.

Some of the most notable discoveries made by Duncan Keene include the first
written record of migration patterns of many bird species, observations on the
evolution of plants, originally brought to Cepton for farming, to thrive in
their new climate, and the discovery of a small species of rabbit, close cousin
to the common rabbit, now named the Keene Rabbit, in recognition of the man who
discovered it, the earliest unofficial biodiversity researcher in Cepton. Some
of the most common species found in Cepton include owls, snakes, rabbits, and
various species of salamander. Some of the notable species only found in Cepton
include the Keene Rabbit, the Dureqville Salamander and the “Soybean” Cat (now
suspected to be extinct).

Some of the most common species found in and near Jijilocity include
types of squirrels, mice, small snakes, and various species of birds. These
species are, for the most part, not exclusive to the Jijilocity province and
are common in many areas of Cepton. The greater impact that Jijilocity has had
on the biodiversity of Cepton is the change and evolution of some species
within the city and the marine life that lives near the city. Squirrels brought
from Neon with settlers found their home in Jijilocity. These common squirrels
then evolved to fit in with landscape and climate of Cepton, creating a new
species called the Ceptonian Squirrel, noted for its distinct auburn markings
and unique tail patterns. These squirrels are commonly found living in the
city, as well as in the surrounding areas and in the forests of Cepton.
Scientists studying biodiversity in and around Jijilocity also note the impact
that settlement has had on nearby marine life, notably the evolution of some
fish to camouflage themselves in the shallow beaches, to combat fishing and
hunting by the early settlers.

The building of Dureqville provided an excellent view into the impact
building settlements can have on the species in an area. While most species
have moved to untouched land or adapted to the change, some delicate species
are quickly becoming endangered, including the Dureqville Salamander, named
that because it was only discovered during the building of Dureqville, as it is
only suited to live in caves that were found in and around Dureqville. Building
was slowed down temporarily as biologists rushed to study the habitat of the
Dureqville Salamander and replicate it so that the species wouldn’t become
extinct as Dureqville expanded and grew over the only caves they could live in.
The biologists were successful in replicating the habitat of these delicate
creatures, and the Dureqville Salamander continues to thrive in captivity while
attempts are made to find a suitable location to reintroduced them to the wild.

Settlement of any kind always has a large impact on the
biodiversity of an ecosystem. The most notable impact on the biodiversity of
the Cepton region is the early settlement of farmers, and the more recent trend
towards more farms being built and run.

These farms impact the general biodiversity more greatly than
Jijilocity, as farmers continue to spread out and take natural land and water
and use it for their farms, changing the balance of the ecosystem in these
areas. While most wildlife has adapted to the changes, four species of fish and
a species of rabbit have gone from thriving species to threatened species, due
to the cultivation of land and use of water for farms.

The Neon region has had a large impact on the biodiversity in Cepton.
Besides the evidence found that many of the plants found in Cepton plains
originated in Neon and were brought to Cepton by birds or wind, settlers and
travelers have also introduced many species to the Cepton region. Many species
fit well into the ecosystems in Cepton, including many new insects, small
mammals, and plants brought into Cepton for the purpose of agriculture.
However, a few species introduced into Cepton, accidentally or on purpose, had
a terrible impact on the ecosystems there.

A species introduced on purpose was a species of small cat, originally
brought into Cepton by settlers to combat the problem of rats, who were
accidentally brought over by earlier settlers, ruining crops and spreading
illness. These cats evolved to find that instead of rats, they much preferred
soybeans, which was a crop growing in so much abundance that the cats barely
had to work for it at all. This caused an issue for farmers, as now the rat
problem was not being dealt with, and they had a new problem: wild cats eating
their most profitable crop and multiply wildly. These cats were commonly
referred to as “Soybean” Cats and were considered a sub-species of the common
cat. The Ceptonian government decided that this problem was of such great
importance that it should be dealt with by the government, and so they declared
a ban on growing soybeans. This meant that the new type of cat that had grown
dependent on those crops to keep them alive were effectively starved out of
Cepton, and despite an original protest of the farmers, the ban was a great
success and removed the invasive species of cat from the Cepton ecosystem
entirely.

The Ceptonian government has yet to implement an official policy towards
the preservation of biodiversity. In the past, they have occasionally
implemented policies when the environment was threatened greatly, such as the
uprising of wild cats in and around many farms. However, they have never
released an official statement on their beliefs or started any initiatives. The
government has sometimes given grant money to NGOs (non-government
organizations) that have the purpose of preserving a species or biodiversity in
Cepton, such as the money that was given to the preservation efforts of the
Dureqville Salamander or the funding offered to the CPPNW (The Ceptonian People
for the Preservation of Natural Wildlife) Organization. These organizations are
dedicated to protecting endangered species or entire ecosystems within the
Cepton region.

**Politics and government**

**Administrative divisions**
Cepton, a unitary region, is divided into four
first-level administrative counties. The counties are administrated through
directly elected county assemblies who elect the county Governor. Additionally,
the President and government are represented in every county by Governor. As such,
the Government is directly represented at a local level through the county Governors'
offices. Jijilocity host the administrative divisions in the region, Dureqville
is the only exception.

The counties of Cepton are:

  Jijilocity
  Dureqville
  Blackwood
  Sprucewood

**Judicial system and law enforcement**
The Ceptonian government, while delegating many of its
legal duties to independent cities, has recently adopted federalist ideals into
their justice system including a supreme court in Jijilocity, the highest
appeals court in Cepton and a Ministry of justice, a semi-independent executive
ministry tasked with upholding fair legal practices.

Citizens may be tried in two courts, a common law court and a criminal
court. A common law court is a court in which citizens may be tried by other
citizens in civil disputes. The criminal court is a court in which a publicly
elected prosecutor tries people for crimes against the criminal code. Those
convicted in the common law court may only appeal in the common appeals court,
however their conviction usually ends up with financial penalties. The judicial
system is adopted from the Neon-Cepton union days.

**Foreign relations**
Since the end of the Mob
War in 2011, Neon witness the succession of its eastern lands to a new
government, dismayed by the failure of the Neonian military to protect its
people from the invading mob army. This, according to academics, is the origin
of the Neon and Cepton’s poor relations and arms disputes. Today, however, some
experts suggest that, in reality, poor relations stem from shared economic
goals, arms races, and competing security goals.

**Military**
The Reserves and National Guard brought
the total number of troops to 140 000. The Department of Defense also employed
about 190 000 civilians, not including contractors.

According to 2018 mobilization plans, full mobilization produces
approximately 280 000 combatant personnel. Military service is voluntary,
though conscription may occur in wartime through the Selective
Service System. The Armed Forces are subordinate to the Ceptonian Ministry
of Defense. The President holds the title of commander-in-chief of
the nation's armed forces and appoints its leaders, the Secretary of
Defense and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. The Ceptonian Department
of Defense administers the armed forces, including
the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard and Air Force.
The military was made in 2016 after the president commission approved of the
Delta program.

The military budget of Cepton in 2018 was more than GN 200 billion,
40% of global military spending and equal to the next 12 largest regional
military expenditures combined. At 4.7% of GDP, the rate was the second-highest
among the top 15 military spenders. Cepton defense spending as a percentage of
GDP ranked 23rd globally in 2019 according to the Z.C.S.S.

### Economy

**Resources**
Oil industry
Cepton discovered gas and oil fields first in 2018 by
the eastern Bofamic coast from a Prixton approved expedition. The fields are
developed by Prixton company but with a dominating state ownership. Export
revenues from oil and gas have given 60% of total exports and constitute more than
40% of the GDP. Cepton is the third largest oil exporter and third largest gas
exporter in the world.

The government controls its petroleum resources through a combination of
approximately 75% state ownership and remaining to Prixton corp. There are in
total 400 oil wells drilled, mostly in the eastern Bofamic sea and Envy ocean.

Fish industry
Cepton is the world’s fourth largest exporter of fish.
Fish export constitutes the fourth largest (behind nuclear power, oil, minerals)
export product measured in value.

Electricity
Nuclear power plants generate roughly 99% of Cepton`s
electric power, more than any other country/region in the world. The world
largest nuclear power company Ecotron have their HQ located in Jijilocity.

Mineral resources
Cepton has a significant amount of mineral resources
which in 2018 was valued GN3 billion (Ceptonian Geological Survey data). The
most valuable minerals are emerald, iron, coal, gold, nickel, redstone and
limestone. Mineral mining contributes the third largest export product measured
in value. These mineral caves were used by Neon during the union times and were
the ones that increased Cepton GDP after they got control over it.

**Transport**
The region has two international airports and one domestic
airstrip, railway system that both travels domestically and international, one
metro system in the capital and water transportation system for domestically
and international travel.

There are more plans to expand the
inner-city metro systems and allow far more air travel destinations from the
region. Jijilocity has a sky railway that transports you directly to Zeon city
central station in record time.

### Demographics

**Population**

**Migration**
After the mob war, a small community of Ceptonian’s
migrated to Neon for work purposes. The Zeon treaty in 2012 gave permission for
Neonian’s to work in Cepton, which left many Neonian’s migrate to Cepton.
Migration policy requires a travel or work visa enter the region. Cepton has
one of the stricter immigration regulations then most region/countries as
travel visa I necessary to enter the region.

**Religion**
Notchism (95%) and Xoyanity (5%) are mostly practiced
in Cepton. About 20% of the population practice these religious beliefs.

Notchism comes from the belief that Notch is the creator of all and is
said to be the oldest practiced religion do date.

Xoyanity originated during the days of the mob war, as Emperor Xoyjaz
claimed himself to be the only true prophet of god.

**Health**
Cepton has in recent years let certain things flourish
and develop. Out of the potentially dozens of industries which are changing,
health care is the one which stands out the most. During the infamous Mob war,
people were not just dying at the hands of the ferocious mobs. In fact, most of
the deaths were the result of infection. Hundreds of people – including young
children – would live their last days in agonizing pain until the infection
took over and they dropped dead. A group of five specialist calculated that it
would take only a fortnight before everyone would be wiped out. In great hurry
and panic, the group of specialists, comprising of doctors, nurses, and
scientist, began research cures and treatments. The investigation, at the end,
found a cure to the infections at a record speed of five days. Simultaneously,
the research revolutionized the system of medicine, producing timely,
effective, less invasive, and, most importantly, affordable treatment systems.
While it has been years since the Mob War, Ceptonian citizens, today, get to
enjoy a system of healthcare which is honest, extremely effective, and most
importantly, free. In fact, the strive for efficient treatment years ago,
worked to make health care so inexpensive that it is free for its citizens.
Many regions use Cepton as a model for what their system should look like.
However, no region has succeeded so far.

**Education**
The Ministry of Education have decided the mandatory
educational process for each citizen requires 10 years of elementary education.

Higher education in Cepton is offered by a range of 3 universities.
Education follows the Bologna Process involving Bachelor (3
years), Master (2 years) and PhD (3 years) degrees. Acceptance is
offered after finishing elementary education with general study competence. Public education is virtually free, regardless of nationality. The
academic year has two semesters, from August to December and from January
to June. The ultimate responsibility for the education lies with
the Ceptonian Ministry of Education in Jijilocity.

### Culture

**Research**
Cepton has had huge impact on the nuclear research
scene, as their state-owned company Ecotron became the regions first powerplant
in 2017. Reports of Prixton corp. and Cepton government working on nuclear
research has been suggested and currently all information is taking behind
closed doors.

In 2015 a research by Mastertech university in Jijilocity had a
breakthrough in computer science engineering for digital information storing
which was awarded a price for. Mastertech is the largest leading computer science
research facility in the world, producing thousands of articles each year.

**Architecture**
The financial rise caused by the Union break up led to
the largest building boom in the history of the region. In 2013, the
first downtown construction settlements in Jijilocity took place which
blossomed into the skyscraper era and has been followed by many other cities
around the world.

All of Cepton’s tallest towers are located in Jijilocity; Xoyjaz Union
Tower, is the second tallest building in the Southern Hemisphere after
Milad Tower.

Emerald stadium was once first on the list of largest buildings in
the world, currently listed as third-largest stadium (as of
10 September 2016). Presently, the four tallest buildings in the
region are Xoyjaz Union Tower, Cepton stock market, Maddox Tower, Cepton
university.

Multiple kinds and scales of houses, townhouses, condominiums, and
apartment buildings can be found throughout Cepton. Large swaths of the
region's residential areas near the west coast are characterized by modern
structures built from early 2014. Cepton is also a prominent center of the
modern style of Minecraft architecture. This style applies more to Jijilocity, where
as in smaller towns have a higher Brovillian styled usage.

**Cuisine**
Cepton, located by the Bofamic ocean is covered in by
ships, boats, docks, and piers. While, having coastline is great for economic
development, it has also had an impact on the cuisine.

The Ceptonians incorporate a variety of seafood (e.g.
fish, eel, octopus, shrimp, kelp, etc.) in their cuisine and average diet. One
of their delicacies is roasted clownfish, a very expensive dish that take just
under two years to ferment and prepare. The issue with their diet is that, in
consuming such an amount of seafood, they risk in taking high levels of mercury
– leading to mercury poisoning.

For the wealthier citizens of Cepton, they enjoy an
array of imported meats like young chicken, veal, and horse meat. All of which
they get using the ports on the coastline.

**Sport**
The most popular sports in Cepton are
football, skiing, tennis and, to a lesser degree, basketball.
Association football is the most popular sport in Cepton in terms of active
membership. Tennis is the biggest indoor sport. The men’s football national
team has been awarded silverware, including one world cup silver medal (2013)
and one Summer Olympic silver medal (2014). The highest FIFA ranking
Cepton has achieved is 2nd, and their current position is 3rd
since 2018.

**Tourism**
As of 2018, Cepton ranks 18th in the World Economic
Forum’s Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Report. Tourism in Cepton
contributed to 1.2% of the gross domestic product as reported in 2019. The main
attractions of Cepton are the varied architectural landmarks and history.
Popular tourist destinations in Cepton include Jijilocity, Dureqville and
Blackwood. Much of the nature of Cepton remains unspoiled, and thus attracts
numerous hikers and skiers. The mountains & hills attract several
hundred thousand foreign tourists each year. In the cities, cultural
idiosyncrasies such as the King’s palace attract many visitors each year as
it’s on the top 20 list of the world most historical monuments.

### Towns & Villages

**Dureqville**
Dureqville is located on the east coast of Cepton and
is the second largest urban development in the region. 50% of the region’s
farmlands are located in here. The town was based of the military development
near the east coastline of Cepton, where it has grown through generations of
the military personnel settling down there. The largest prison facility is
located in the town as well as the second largest airport in the region.

**Sprucewood County**
The county is located on the northern parts of the
region, almost closing the gap between the Neon border and northern Jijilocity.
50% of the region’s farmlands are located here. The county has an end station
located in Cepton spawn, and a domestic airstrip. Sprucewood is most known for
its famous attraction, The King sword and the Emerald warrior statues, which
dates back to 2014.

**Blackwood**
The Blackwood community is a resort facility, located
in the central north of the region. Its preserved nature defines what Ceptonian
land is all about. Skiing and hiking are very popular around these parts. The
Blackwood community offers different experiences for the ultimate wildlife
experience.

**Pensville**
Pensville is the most eastern settlement in Cepton
with few residences making up the total location. Pensville is a small
settlement outside of Dureqville.

### Islands

**Wake islands**
Islands formed from volcanic activity, close to the
north Neonian maritime border. Most recently known for the border controversy
currently faced between Neon and Cepton. The islands make up the largest ocean surface
area out of all the islands in Cepton.

**Maynea Island (Island Near Prixton)**
And extreme hilly and exotic island located on the
south east coast of Cepton. No settlement has been allowed on this island as
its very dangerous for humans and holds important natural life.

**Dao islands**
Dao islands are a collection of 3 main islands located
on the furthest east point of Cepton. The islands are preserved for its natural
wildlife. The islands make up the largest land surface area out of all the
islands in Cepton.

**Mushroom island**
The exceptional Mushroom island is the only one of its
kind in Cepton. Mushroom cows appear naturally here, the island is located
outside the east coast of Cepton.

**Yami island**
Yami sanctuary, last resting place for our beloved
