## Flag of Raylyn City

Raylyn City is the capital and largest city of Raylyn. It is the oldest built district on the map containing the first ever buildings built in the world.

As of 2022, Raylyn City contains over 400 buildings, spanning roughly 1,400 blocks from Crape Town to the far end of Raylyn City Airport. The city encompasses the whole of the province of Raylyn City and the island of Raylyn. It is located at the far north of the country. It is located just a few hundred meters away from Mirza to the East, and surrounded by Epping and Wickholme to the South. Raylyn City is also known for its natural diversity, with beaches hugging the western shoreline of the island whilst most of the East and South are covered in forests and grassland. The far north of the island also contains a tundra at Land's End.

### Early history of Raylyn City

The first building built in the city was the hospital found in Old Raylyn City, built in 2014. Hence its namesake, it is where most of the early progress was made in the city. In a video posted in August 2014, most if not all of the progress of the city was in what is now Old Raylyn. Buildings including the old Tecno, one of The Fellas, Lampard Towers and the Art Gallery were some notable examples which were built early on in the city's history.

The island then initially split into two: into Raylyn, and Diamly. A border was placed between the two and progress on both cities began separately and with different designs, with Diamly being a more rural design, and Raylyn a more futuristic and metropolitan one.

Additions around this time were The Emporium, a shopping centre in the style of a building with the same name that existed in Northampton until the 1970s, a presidential house and a small spleef stadium. Road networks between Diamly were created with the construction of a 200 block underground road alongside the construction of a motorway between the two cities.

An airport was created in 2015 in the area which is now the Raylyn Spaceport. However, the airport was permanently closed after a Boeing 737 crashed into its main terminal due to a faulty airport design. (The runway was literally facing a building).

### History post-2022

Once the server was back and running, many new additions and expansions were added to Raylyn City. The city centre was completely revamped with the addition of new boroughs into the city. The 'housing district' that was once part of the city was demolished to make way for the parliament building and the construction of a new castle on what is now Chapel Hill. New skyscrapers built into the city included the second Fella, the new Bank of Raylyn. Alongside this, great expansions into previously rural areas around Diamly, Harvard and Crape Town were made. Two theme parks in Crape Town and Diamly were demolished to make way for new districts, namely the airport and stadium districts.
