## Biggest cities

### Brusia

Brusia is the capital of Kolonia and is very famous for is Brusia-cheese and Brusia-chocolate. A must see is the Verstap-square, known for being the biggest flag in the world, covering the whole square.

Brusia is also the biggest city of Kolonia, with over a milion people living there. It's located at the westcoast of Kolonia. The population has grown a lot since it became the capital.

Brusia used to be called Brusiadam, before it became the capital. The change of name was because the name was already in use by the public, changing the name was almost natural.

### City of Ickx

The city of Ickx is located at the far east of Kolonia, at the beginning of the mountains. The city of Ickx is the capital of the Ickx region, one of the four regions within Kolonia.

It is most famous for being centred around motorsport.

## History

### Kolonial past

During 1669 to 1831 Kolonia has been a colony of Floviania. It was their first colony and was also one of their biggest. Before 1669 Floviania had a special trade agreement With Brusiadam (then called Kees) to trade their spices and their famous cheese.

### Independence

Kolonia became independent after the Kolonial Revolution, starting on 20th of april with the Brusiadam Revolution, where the natives declared themself independent. Floviania obviously didn't agree and so they met on the Verstap-square (then just Big square). There the native challenged the Flovish to a karting race, the national sport of Kolonia. They agreed to do a best of three, with the winner getting the land

The first race was held in City of Ickx with Jacky Ickx challenging a Flovian, where they had to drive from the top of the hill, down to the bottom. The race was held on 25th of December and was won by Jacky Ickx, giving it's name to the city and the Hillclimb. This Hilclimb still exists to this day and every year the Ickx' hillclimb is driven their to celebrate the victory.

The second race was in the middle of Kolonia, and was held on 15th of january and was won by Floviania. It was a race between the Flovish farms and was a really close battle. Because the stand was now 1-1, it meant that it all came down to the final race.

The third and last race was held close to Brusiadam, and followed the Brusia river, and was held on 26th of Februari. The race was held between Jantje Verstap and the Flovian king himself. The race was a real thriller, with Verstap spinning in the first half of the race, but coming back after driving right on the limit. The Flovian king was still in the lead before the final straight, he could see the finish on big square, but by using his trail, Verstap could close in very fast and overtook the Flovian king on about 200 meters before the line. And so Kolonia was born.

That's how 26th of Februari became independence day of Kolonia.
