Marzire

Map of Marzire

The **City of Marzire**, also known as the **Mushroom City**, is a walled part of Parreetown roughly the size of Old Parreetown (or about 1.4 km wide where Old Parreetown is 1.7 km wide). It is located in the southeast of the city, and is currently home to about 7,320 inhabitants. Its mayor is Noel Platypus, major figure in the Prisarian War and the ex-Prisarian High Scientist. Marzire is the least populated and smallest district of Parreetown, and is also quite old, approximately being constructed by the Sunglows in 917 AD, being named ``N"e Lzlk'tez"lz`` roughly translating to 'New Ambera'. The date of the appearance of Noel's lab, however, is unknown, but its name slowly shifted to Marzire throughout the 1800s and early 1900s from its old name, where the local Spores refer to it as Lk'lzzetzetcszeta.

## Sections

### Mushroom Heights

The Mushroom Heights comprise most of Marzire, and make its name known as why it is called the Mushroom City. Being square in the middle of a Mushroom Heights minibiome, massive tall blue mushrooms soar into the skies above, with a few in the clouds overhead, making the city have a number of visits from COBs. Most of Marzire's population lives in the Mushroom Heights, around 6,000 of its total permanent population of 7,320. The city's population peaked at 31,000 in 1995, just before the Prisarian War, but a massive exodus occurred during and after it, most of it being government-enforced evictions from the city, due to Noel's pro-Prisarian affiliation. As a result, the Mushroom Heights were once much bigger, but have since greatly shrunken in size, with most of the buildings in the outer ends of the city being demolished.

### Port Fellifus

Port Fellifus is the 2nd most populated (740 people) area of Marzire. Located east of Noel's lab, it contains a place from which to export goods to other Mudblood members in the Baltic Sea. The city has resisted 4 attempts at conversion to a heavy industrial society by the Spore Gentir Republic since 1946, and is one of 6 districts in the Spore Mainland to prioritize exporting robotics specifically. Port Fellifus is the least populated major city port district (major cities being Baalik, Inaterlin, Parreetown, Stockholm, and Gothenburg) in Tolldernia. In 1989, the city won the Most Peaceful City in Spore award.

### Southern Outskirts

The Southern Outskirts are the least populated region of Marzire, only having 209 people in total. Most of the villages here were very rural, subsistence farming economies that only occasionally trade with the center of the city for food. In February 1963, however, the Spore Government would collectivize these farming economies, leading to the Massacre of Marzire in May 1963, where Spores fired at 94 farmers in the Southern Outskirts for refusing to obey collectivization policies. Though the farming industry has expanded, the city's massive population decline means that the Southern Outskirts are slowly relying more on the Mushroom Heights and the rest of Spore for food production.

### Galores

Galores is the most recently founded part of Marzire, created in 1857 by Funtimes forcibly resettled to the Spore Mainland in a Funtimean effort to colonize the Spores. It has 371 inhabitants, the vast majority of which are Funtimes. Galores had suffered major persecution under the various Spore regimes, leading to 94% of its population fleeing to the Inner City during both coalition wars to avoid the current Funtimean genocide being perpetrated by the Federation of Spore Creatures, and later the Spore Empire/Redian Swarm. The Inner City had managed to keep most of them sheltered in hospitals, with Noel Platypus taking any measures to ensure their safety in the 2nd Coalition War. Under Mudblood rule, the Funtimes were treated as second-class citizens, though still allowed to exist, unlike rule during the Federation and Empire. However, many pogroms occurred throughout the late 20th century and early 21st century across the Mainland, especially during the Prisarian Wars, and more recently the Pink Corruption invasion, to prevent dissent during trying times. Galores was only affected by one of these pogroms, where 3 Funtimes died, and 11 were greatly injured. Galores was once the least populated, and experienced a very low emigration rate compared to the other parts of Marzire. Now, it is the 2nd least populated. The Funtimes in Galores mostly work in the service industry in the Inner City (Mushroom Heights), in one of its hospitals or scientific facilities.

### Noel's Lab

Noel's Lab is a very large lab located in the center of Marzire, and acts as its government building. The lab is Noel and Vesneus' place of residence, and appears to be a blue, semi-sterile spherical building having many gadgets and other things. Spamton also lives there, and was Noel's magnum opus until the creation of **Vesneus TSHIAN**. Noel's lab itself has 3 small quarters that are like normal homes (for Noel, Vesneus and Spamton) and a massive series of rooms meant for experimentation...on the surface. There is also an elevator, even though there is only 1 floor. This elevator leads to *True Marzire,* a place holding many dark secrets...

## History

### Old Marzire (917 AD-1731 AD)

Marzire was founded as N"e Lzlk'tez"lz by conqueror Astvaldur the Great in March 6, 917 AD as a city for some of his military followers to take a rest. It was initially founded as its own small village, and remained that way even after the collapse of the Sunglow Empire. It reached a primary peak of ~940 people in 1143 AD under a resurgent Nishimarian Empire, but after the Fall of Parreetown to the Parree revolt, its population would slowly start to decline again. N"e Lzlk'tez"lz was a simple medieval farming village, owned by a single though often benevolent lord via feudalism. In the early modern period, the village would not see much growth, due to the stagnation of the Spore Mainland, until the rise of the Tolldernian Empire. Feudalism would end in N"e Lzlk'tez"lz under the Tolldernian Empire in 1601 AD. Port Fellifus would be founded 1 year later, in 1602 AD. The Tolldernian Empire would be significantly weakened after the Thirty Years War, and thus the village would return back to its very tiny roots. Not even under Ingemar's rule would it get better. Beyond that, Marzire's origins are mostly unknown, being a very old but very sparsely populated city.

### The Lab Appears (1731-1861 AD)

In 1731 AD, the small stronghold in the center of the village would be replaced by a large and advanced lab, which due to current superstitions no one bothered to enter. The local government would quarantine the lab entirely. In 1791, the small city became subject to a pogrom carried out by the republican Parree government, where 81 people would be executed. The Southern Outskirts would be designated by the local Spore government in 1851, Galores would be founded in 1857.

### Modern Marzire (1861-1945 AD)

In 1861, the lab would no longer face quarantine, as it would be lifted by order of the Eyelactic Government. Noel Platypus, the owner of said lab, would be overwhelmingly elected mayor in 1865. Marzire saw very little fighting during the Sporian War of Unification (1870-1872), and the city would be captured by the Inaters on April 6, 1871, after a battle lasting 3 minutes, from the entry of Inater forces into Marzire to Noel's surrender, with only 1 injury (a city guardsman), as part of the greater Battle of Parreetown, which would last 1 year, and an extra week (January 2, 1871 to January 9, 1872). In 1872, the Spore State would unify, under the Inaters. As a result, Galorian Funtimes would face major persecution in the hands of the Parreetown government, of which Marzire was very close to. This especially intensified with the Patriotic Act of 1876, which enforced Spore superiority over the other races living in the Federation of Spore Creatures, allowed only Spores to gain jobs above working-class, and only allowed Spores and Algodoos to join the military. This relegated the other races to essentially minimum-wage jobs, where the Spores also enforced Spore-only supervisors. This led to major mistreatment in the workplace, which the Spore government would of course turn a blind eye to despite major protests from foreign governments and labour unions. The Spore Government would purge non-Spore government positions throughout the late 1870s, including Noel, and replaced Noel with a Spore governor. However, Noel Platypus was easily able to make such governor his puppet, and he would maintain de-facto rule over Marzire. However, Marzire (especially Galores) was always on edge throughout the pre-Great War period, due to the ongoing persecution of non-Spores (mainly humans and Funtimes). Rules were eventually relaxed for other groups like Ants and Noobs in the 1890s, but the situation continued to worsen for Gammerian and Declavan-ethnic humans, as well as Funtimes. Eventually, the creation of the Spore Meat industry would lead to the Spore government cutting ties, sanctioning, and embargoing Gammeria perpetually. The Arian Federation and the Federation of Spore Creatures would be the first countries to ban using sentient Spores as meat, only 1 day after the Spore Meat Industry was created in full swing. The Federation would ban non-sentient Spores for meat only 7 days later, but in the Arian Federation's case, the worst it got was heavy regulations, as hunting in the Arian Federation was a significant hobby. Arian meat production never reached industrial levels; most Arians today eat grain and plant-based foods. The Spore Meat Industry's ban would receive major support in Marzire. Throughout the Great War, Marzire would be subject to minor Coalition naval raids (mostly during the Albionese intervention). Marzire would be occupied by the Mudbloods in October 7, 1945. Throughout both World Wars, the city would shelter Declavans and Funtimes, which were being actively exterminated in the second war and expelled from the country in the first war. Thus, Galores would see very little change in population. However, this would all be for naught; they wouldn't experience better conditions under the Mudblood Gentir Republic.
