Haselau, Weisendorf

### Overview

Haselau is a city in Weisendorf, and serves as the nation's capital. It is the most populous city in the world. It was founded under the Lansa administration, but only saw it's greatest expansion during the reign of Ernst Paul Ludendorff, and the current reign of Jennifer Kollner. It is split into 3 districts. The city has multiple bus lines, with a proposed underground metro line to be built once the other districts are built. The metro line will then have junction lines that will link to the nationwide high-speed rail network once built. The architecture is very unique, with Ypsidavian and Arlettian built skyscrapers dotting the city center, and Weiss style mid-rises and skyscrapers surrounding those areas.

### Districts

#### Ludendorff Capitol District

The Ludendorff Capitol District is the largest and oldest district in Haselau. It is home to the majority of the city's population and workplaces. Headquartered here is the many state-run industries of Weisendorf, such as the Brunnhof Design Bureau and Weissplan. It is home to the iconic University of Weisendorf-Haselau, Ludendorff Tower, and Henning Tower, with Haselau High School currently under construction. It is also home to the Weiss Capitol Complex, which is where many of the nation's government agencies are headquartered alongside with Embassy Row.

#### **Wagner Cultural District**

Just south of the Ludendorff Capitol District is the unfinished Wagner Cultural District. This is meant to be the cultural hub of Haselau, with plans for low-density urban superblocks for close, tight-knit residential spaces. The Weiss History Museum, the Haselau Convention Center, WNN Plaza, Weiss Film Studios and so many more venues are to be built in the district. As well as the Weiss Opera House, the Wagner District is set to become the entertainment and cultural capital of the Eastern Continent.

#### **Wozenfeld District**

What was originally planned to be the Kyuzynski Financial District was renamed the Wozenfeld District, and city planners don't quite know what to build there. Many want Wozenfeld to become a technology and medical hub of Haselau, while others want it to be an intermingling between the Ludendorff and Wagner districts. However, one audacious project planned is for the "Haselau Pool", a giant 4 city block wide heated public swimming pool shaped like a circle. Plans and predictions say the heating apparatus of the pool would be able to keep it open year-round.

### Culture

Haselau has a mixed culture. While homogenously Weiss, there has been a recent influx of immigrants from Ypsidavia and Strombi. Haselau fosters Party values of "companionship and camaraderie amongst friends and strangers", and as such Haselauites are some of the friendliest, most empathetic people in the world. Haselau also have a very active nightlife, and there are rumors of a vibrant underground ~~kink~~ scene as well. With living in Haselau being incredibly affordable, people have much more time to explore themselves and spend time with their families, which in turn makes them more well adjusted, rounded, and empathetic people.

### Politics

Haselau is home to the Weiss Capitol Complex- the seat of the Communist Party of Weisendorf, the National Politburo, and Union Square. Politics are very homogenous in Haselau, which is far-left of center. Haselau is considered to be one of the most socially progressive cities in the world, and it's not uncommon to see households where women are the sole providers in Haselau. Haselau is a shining example of the victories of the Weiss Communist Party, and support for the Party is at an all-time high.
