Central City

Central City is the largest city in the state of Minecraftia. It is also the capital of that state. Central City is a strong-mayor government, and is known for its bold infrastructure projects and sprawling highways. Central City is also a huge railroad hub, with the realm's five major railroads all running within.

## History

Central City was originally founded as the first city on the realm. Comprised of several rail lines and a small downtown area, everyone worked toward making the city better. A metro system and grand union station were constructed to accommodate the growing city. At this point, the city was comprised entirely of walking paths in lieu of roads. Eventually, arguments began to break out over the growth of Central City. As a result, neighboring communities, Prairieville and Tranquil Gardens were founded. Central\_Texas took over the development of the city, upgrading the railroads with permission from their owners, and building new houses and stores. Union Station was eventually undergrounded, and a new public plaza was built above.

In mid-August, a data pack to add vehicles was added to the realm. As such, cities needed to begin building roads. Central City was able to add roads before the city got too large, and as such, only had to demolish one occupied building. MC Route 203, a freeway, was built in phases around the city. It features a large tunnel under an existing residential area. Slightly before the road boom in the area, another user of the realm, Dunki, built two airports, one in Central City, and one in Prairieville. The Central City government was not fond of the new airport outside of town, so they built their own, the ElytraPort. The ElytraPort did not last long, and was demolished within a month. Around the same time, Central City annexed the land on the larger CCA international airport. The entire airport was rebuilt and modernized. More recently, a new freeway interchange has been built on the north side of town and road access has been granted to the airport. In early August, construction began on a zoo in southeast Central City, but after many setbacks, damage to the zoo, slaughter of animals, and general laziness, the zoo was not completed until mid September.

An NPC village existed just north of the original townsite of Central City, which has since been modernized with the advent of vehicles. North Central City, a new suburb, has taken its place with leafy trees and affluent houses. Prairieville mayor le\_stonkinonk had mascaraed the villagers long before Central City grew into it. Most of the buildings have been demolished, but some are under preservation with a museum in the works.

## Waterways

The Blue River is a major river that runs through Central City. Central City has worked tirelessly to widen the river, upgrade bridges, and generally make the river navigable to boats. Currently, the river is navigable all the way through Central City, extending north to marshland.

The Central River intermittently runs along the border between Central City, Prairieville, and Tranquil Gardens, connecting two swamps. It is currently non-navigable.

Oak Creek used to run east of downtown Central City, but it was dried up and flow redirected onto the Central River to build the Central City Freeway. Part of it has been turned into a lake on the east side of the city.
