Tacos

Tacos are one of the most iconic items in all of Meridian. Since their invention, Tacos have drastically impacted the history of Meridian. Where did these tacos come from?

It all started in the old capitol of Meridian, Villagetown. The taco was invented by ObtuseTaco. No one knows the exact story of how they came to be, although there are many ideas and theories. Some say ObtuseTaco was in the kitchen and put meat on bread on folded it. Another is he cut loafs of bread into thin slices and created tortillas. Some even go as far to say that he created his own out of himself, however messed up that is. Only ObtuseTaco knows what happened, since he was there.

As for the ingredients of the famous taco, no one knows the answer either. It is known that the taco has evolved over the decades. In fact, a very few older tacos still exist and are treasured by collectors. The Taco's flavor is quite renowned, and is known on an international level. Visitors from all around the world have come to the various Taco cities and towns to try out these delicious treats. The ingredients are highly shrouded in secrecy, and remain as probably the most valuable trade secret in Meridian. The ingredients and founding story remain locked in a book, only held by the creator. People have tried to kill for these secrets, even going as far to commit international terrorism, but so far they have only failed.

Not only has the taco been one of the most successful endeavors in Meridian history, but many buildings, towns, cities and even an empire have arisen from their fame. This next section will break down the details.

Villagetown: The old capitol of Meridian. This is where the taco was created. After some trial and error, the Taco was created, and a small shop was set up for business. The little stand was a huge success, and racked in so much money over time that ObtuseTaco decided to have a full on restaurant built. Tacos were the big hit in Villagetown, but this soon drastically increased. The world's first Taco Bell was constructed, and placed in the central block of Villagetown. This racked in so much money and fame, that people from other villages, towns, and cities came to try out this delight. Villagetown grew even more because of Taco Bell.

Taco Town: Eventually, Taco Bell received some much money, and fame, that ObtuseTaco moved into the southern wilderness to create Taco Town. The world's first Taco-themed city. This area became popular and well travelled. This racked in even more money, and was a well travelled area, with people coming to move in and settle. However, this town did not last forever. After a few years went by, Taco Town has grown into a mega-town, with many inhabitants. Eventually, a group attempted to steal the Secret Taco Recipe. This act turns violent and most of the town was destroyed. Many casualties resulted out of this, including a major hit to the taco industry. The marked the end of Taco Town, however the site of Taco Town would eventually become the founding settlement of Mafeking, many years later.

Villagetown (Part 2): After the destruction of ObtuseTaco's town, he moved back to Villagetown and resettled in his original Taco Bell. Tacos had a significantly smaller and lesser role, but some still loved the booming flavor, so a decent profit was still made. This continued for a while, but then the creation of the Terminal Territories changed all of that.

Taconia: With the discovery of the Terminal Territories, a new leaf was turned over for the Taco Industry. After the Spawn Base broke apart, Dylan introduced the Taco, all over the realm, and made so much money, that he was able to build the floating city of Taconia. This city floated upon the waters of the Eastern Sea, and was only traveled to by boat and aircraft. However this didn't decrease the value. Taconia had a central park, and started the edition of massive factories to mass produce Tacos. The business flourished and even enough the a new city was constructed because he outgrew Taconia.

New Taconia: The new taco city had a much larger presence. This time, the city was on land, and had Taco Skyscrapers reaching far into the sky. The city was so big, the A.T.L.A.S government even bought a building to monitor the surrounding area, and business, although leaving some privacy. This city had streets, vehicles, blimps, and the biggest factories in known Meridian history. This was the pinnacle of the Taco, for there was even a Taco Military, and it's own government. The media was ran out of New Taconia, and New Taconia has almost as much, maybe even as much power as the city of Zero Point. However, both Taconia, and New Taconia were both destroyed in the destruction of the Terminal Territories.

Sophron: ObtuseTaco was on the Capitol Armiger that returned to Meridian, however most of the Taconia populace was on the Armiger that was lost contact with. Upon the return of the Armiger, the terrible news struck, that Villagetown was destroyed and turned into the Iantha Plains. However, the ruins of this mega-village were moved to an island in Mafeking's borders, and became Sophron. Upon hearing this, Obtuse Taco learned that one block of the original Taco Bell still existed, and used it as the cornerstone, to bring Tacos back into Meridian.

Tacotopia: After several months, ObtuseTaco moved away and settled far west. He settled on a coastline of the Taco Sea, and the city of Tacotopia was created. The area has many issues, and is very polluted because of the city's sewer gases. However this area has turned into a well populated region, although many refrain because of the city's nastiness. However, in this region, ObtuseTaco leads as the king of Capitalism. He owns many businesses and his past popularity has definitely helped. Tacotopia, although gross, is a very rich city. The city of Tacotopia has had one major setback. While the city being construction, a terrorist attack decimated Tacotopia in it's early days, however the city recovered and grew back bigger than it was before.

And this is where the taco story stands as of now. The future is looking bright for the future of the Taco Industry, but only time will tell. As Meridian grows more hostile, The city of Tacotopia will no doubt have a large influence on the world of Meridian
