Yuberta

**Yuberta** is a city in the state of Vitena and is located directly west of Vitena. Yuberta is the state's second most populated city with a population of 1,540,310 and is also the second-largest city in area after Vitena. Yuberta was settled around the 1830s and was the second major settlement settled in Vitena.

## History

The city was first built in 1772 as a portion of Vitena, but around 60 years later, a policy stated that Vitena City should be held off-limits to people who weren't of southern Paranian descent and many inhabitants of the city were sent to live in a side-settlement located about ten minutes west of Vitena City known at the time as Sbagliato meaning "wrong" and many of the side-settlement's inhabitants were of Northern Paranian descent. By the mid 19th century, the city was changed to "Yuberta" in honor of Vitena Augorido's sister, Yuberta Augorido, three years after the settlement of Insedia (Which is now present-day Vitena) was changed to be named after Vitena Augorido herself. By the 1900s, non southern Paranians were invited to live in Vitena City once again but only 12% of them moved, with the remaining 88% deciding to stay in Yuberta.

## Geography

The city of Yuberta is located on a city island which also comprises of Angeline, Vitena City and many other municipilaties. When driving to the mainland, you are likely to reach Callery Valley, a 315 mile-long valley abundant of callery pears (Pyrus calleryana), slash pines (Pinus elliottii), white pines (Pinus strobus), redbuds (Cercis canadensis), white ashes (Fraxinus americana), and, in some areas, sugar maples (Acer saccharum). Vitena City and its surrounding areas (Including Yuberta) is surrounded by large bodies of water apart of the insanely large and grand Vitena Sea, and because of being surrounded by rather warm waters, it is a very humid city. Vitena City and its surrounding areas has about 70 days of rain and 295 days of sun, making it a rather sunny city, 51 percent of daylight hours are sunny. Snow is awfully rare in the city and Vitena and its surrounding areas has only a 21% chance of recieving snow per year and most snowfalls occur in the month of February and stay on the ground on a average of eight days before melting and never appearing again. Vitena, however, has around 57 days of fog which occurs between March 26th and May 21st, making the months between early February and mid May the least sunniest time of the year. Vitena is most sunniest during the summertime and autumn. Due to the city being in a odd-place for weather, it is practically a hub for natural disasters, over fifteen floodings happened in a span of eleven years in Vitena City (Including seven in 2011, one in 2013, two in 2016, four in 2017, and one in 2019), most flooding incidents happened in March, but two occured in August.

The city is the exact same latitude as downtown Vitena City and because of this, the two cities are considered quite northern compared to other capital cities in Nareemia. The city, however, despite being quite northern, has a oceanic temperate climate with high humidity rates, making it a rather warm city. The city is in a region abundant of softwood trees, but a large plethora of hardwood trees were introduced and are considered naturalized. Like Vitena City, the city is green year-round due to the amount of evergreens and softwood trees as well as a low amount of snow and has high humidity rates. Animals such as seven-spotted ladybugs (Coccinella septempunctata), coyotes (Canis latrans), carrion beetles (Necrophila americana), striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), and crows (Genus corvus) are common in the city. Yuberta has an ongoing coyote problem with a specific coyote that has already been euthanized who attacked four different women and an elderly dachshund dog, but caution is suggested as many other coyote attacks are reported in Yuberta. Yuberta has double the amount of coyote attacks than Vitena City. Both red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) and coyotes (Canis latrans) are common urban-dwellers in the city's suburbs and neighbourhoods and residents likely see at least one fox and/or one coyote in their lawn once a month, gray foxes (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) and striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis) are also present in the suburbs but are typically not seen as frequently as the first two, rabid coyotes are common in the suburbs which sparks trouble for the residents of the area, up to 266 coyote attacks have been reported in Yuberta compared to 131 in Vitena City. Rabid foxes are also common in the city with most rabid foxes being the gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus) though red foxes (Vulpes vulpes) could also be seen rabid. Crows are extremely common in the city and massive flocks of crows are a problem in the city, every day at dusk, murders of competing cawing crows shroud the downtown of Yuberta like a black fog covering the sky. Crows are so problematic in the city that police say they hear crow reports up as many times as they hear about speeding cars. The city also has a fair amount of cottontail rabbits and voles much to the despise of homeowners' gardens. No deer, bears, woodchucks, raccoons, chipmunks, beavers, opossums, fox squirrels, and bobcats are present in the city and if seen, must be reported instantly.

## Demographics

The city is 57% Paranian (White, 877,976) with 42% (646,930) of the city being of southern Paranian descent, 13% (200,240) being of northern Paranian descent, and 2% (30,806) being of northeastern Paranian descent. 43% (662,333) of the city is apart of a visible minority group with the highest ethnic group present being Africans (at 21%, 323,465), 10% (154,031) of the city is Asian, 9% (138,627) of the city is Indigenous, and 3% (46,209) are other ethnic groups including the Hispanics, southern Herethearians, and the Arabs.

Yuberta is the 3rd most Catholic major city in Nareemia after Sasemora and Colomgie (both cities are in Bayland, which has a extremely prevalent Filipino population), It is likely very Catholic due to a larger southern Paranian and Indigenous population who are prevalently Catholic.
