Chuzhou

**Chuzhou** is the capital and largest city of Iceland. The metropolis stands on the Kolluáll Bay in south-western Iceland. Its population estimates at 394.19 million residents within a greater metropolitan area with additional 14 million inhabitants, making Chuzhou the most populous capital city in Europe. The city area measures 888 square kilometres (343 sq mi), while the metropolitan area covers 2,417.3 square kilometres (933 sq mi). Chuzhou is a significant international aim for tourists and a relevant cultural, political, and economic hub. Its flag shows the Ninkyouhoshi (a.k.a Generosity Overpass), the first big undertaking after WW2. Its name originates from a coup made by the Chinese, the provisional government created by them called the capital "Chuzhou". When the power went back to the Japanese, they never changed it again to New Edo (ニュー江戸).

## Administration

There are five districts in the capital divided into smaller, less significant sections. The present division of the city consists of:

* 草地街 [rom: Kusachi-gai] is the largest district in terms of area. It's known for its strict laws concerning ecology and waste management.
* 大道街 [rom: Daidou-gai] is the city's most crowded area, where most malls and shopping centres reside, near many skyscrapers and tall apartment buildings.
* 救済街 [rom: Kyousai-gai] landscaped with universities, hospitals and clinics make it be the calmest neighbourhood in the city composed of single-family housing and outdoor strip malls.
* 料理街 [rom: Ryouri-gai] is the go-to place of the city. Here are also located all antique buildings from the era before the Japanese annexation of Iceland, making it the best place for establishing any shop, restaurant or cafe.
* 清潔街 [rom: Seiketsu-gai] is the industrial district and location of many workplaces and municipal services (e.g. garbage collection and regional power plants). It's filled with many people that are homeless or below the poverty line.

## Media

Right now in Iceland, there are no public media which means all broadcasters are private, making problems like lack of regulations regarding disinformation unless it has a destructive effect on society. CBS, the last public broadcaster was sold to eastern axis Media Group in 2005 after declaring insolvency.

## Education

### Kindergartens and elementary schools

There are approximately 709 preschools in Chuzhou but, most of them are private institutions with high tuition fees. According to the 2007 ICSO (Icelandic Central Statistical Office) survey, only 46.88 % of Chuzhou residents with children ever enrolled them in kindergartens and nurseries.

### High schools

There aren't many high schools in Chuzhou. Most of them are state-owned dormitories for immigrants. Often the conditions in those schools are pretty bad, and very expensive at the same time.

### Higher education

There are only three universities in the City Prefecture of Chuzhou. They are located in Daidou-gai, as this is the district where many educational institutes reside.

* 出米府ニ政治科学と情報システム大学 (UPSIS) is one of the most elite universities in the world which shaped many famous politicians and owners of the world's largest conglomerates. The tuition fee per semester is about 8.885.000 króna (approximately 72.000 USD), a record price that places this institution in the ranking of the most expensive universities.
* アイスランド大学 (ISU) is an only state-owned university in Iceland that has a large number of degree courses causing it to be the most frequently chosen academy.
* ビフロスト大学 (UBI) is the most advanced university in Iceland. In addition to courses in the operation of fusion, geothermal and nuclear power plants, it also offers studies in architecture, computer science and technology.

## Traffic and public transportation

The UPSIS study from 2001 showed that Chuzhou's infrastructure is one of the most clutched in the world. Most roads in the city are highways that give pedestrians limited access to critical places. The government's indifference to those problems made them unsolvable without completely redesigning the city's plan.

### Underground

Managed by 滁州公共交通機関式会社 (CPTC) Chuzhou Underground (滁州地下) is the most popular mode of public transportation for citizens, growing even more popular when in 2005 Chuzhou's bus corporation went bankrupt, leaving metro as a sole method.
