Crestopolis

Basic Information
Crestopolis is a duchy in Blue. Known for its flat, rural landscapes and supreme agriculture, it is one of the largest and most populated duchies in Blue. It is the birthplace of perhaps the most famous Blue of all time, Balderlane, who greatly appreciated Crestopolis. It's capital is Crestopolis City, one of the most famous cities in all of Blue. Other iconic cities are Ravacuse, Nomintor, and Pastilliadum.

Crestopolian industry primarily consists of Agriculture, Transportation, and international shipping. Crestopolian cities are noted for their large harbors and as one author stated, "warehouses that reach to the clouds". Crestopolis City is known for its urban sprawl and beautiful historic district in the city center, with the Crestiai National Museum being an iconic landmark to the area, containing many historical artifacts and other notable items.

Crestopolis is noted for its vast, flat landscapes which are littered with small farming towns. Crestopolis primarily grows wheat, livestock, and other grains and vegetables. Crestopolis is frequently dubbed "The Breadbasket of Blue" because of this; Crestopolis even exports many agricultural food products to the other duchies of Blue.

History
Crestopolis historically is most famous for Balderlane, who is, even centuries afterwards, is still very popular in the area. Many foreigners note the sheer number of statues and other memorabilia dedicated to him in the area. Balderlane himself is buried in Ravacuse.

Following the Lightning Period, Crestopolis was a hub for many Blue refugees who escaped the destroyed southern lands, and a wave of immigration and diversity ensued. After the Lightning Period, the Glass River Monument was constructed in Crestopolis City, to commemorate the event and the horrors which occurred.

Crestopolians are generally noted for their hands-off, libertarian mannerisms, and their local politics reflects that. The Government of Crestopolis is generally laissez-faire in its attitudes toward both social and economic policy. Crestopolis is known for its large multi-party system, with many different parties with niche ideologies consistently winning seats in elections. Even then, the system generally coalesce around the Crestopolian Libertarian Party, and the Crestopolian Workers' Party.
