Nin'Kutcha, Atharon, The Constitutional Republic of Jandrea


Population: 153,000
Languages: Jandrean (58%), Atahronian (22%), Deltorian (15%) and other (5%)
Climate: Alpine

Nin'Kutcha is a city located to the western end of Atharon, Jandrea, deep within the Lehar alps on the Leharan river. Map below:

This city is one of the oldest in Jandrea and is the hub for winter holiday seekers in the Republic. It has an annual intake of 1.2 million visitors a year, that's around 3,280 visitors a day to the small city. Nin'Kutcha was originally founded and established 900 years ago as a military fort for the former Jandrean Dominion. The city, which was really a military base and settlement, was primarily established in order to maintain control over the fresh water supplies from the Leharan river. The settlement was also meant to be the first point of defense for a possible attack and/or invasion from the north. Soon after the military base was established new settlements began to take place around it due to the perception of it being a safe area as well as the employment opportunities from the military base. From there the city began to grow and slowly became less dependent on the military base.

The Snow sports trend in Nin'Kutcha began to take off with the arrival of sports and recreational companies just over 200 years ago whom purchased parts of land in the the surrounding mountainous areas for their activities. Such sports as skiing and Snowboarding soon began to take the city by storm and the industry grew large in the city. Today Nin'Kutcha has become a sort of 'Mecca' for snow sports and it is one of the key tourist destinations within Jandrea. Nin'Kutcha stands for 'Fort-Mountain' in Atharonian.

Why Nin'Kutcha?

Unlike most other cities it snows through much of the year in Nin'Kutcha. This is due to the city being located deep with the Lehar Mountains and about 1500 meters above sea level. Even during summer the mountain areas can still be found to have a reasonable amounts of snow on it and winters are often long. Snow is always present during the winter and autumn periods. Nin'Kutcha already has the facilities to host the winter games due to the various national events it has hosted for Jandrea. Nin'Kutcha is also one of the more wealthy cities in the Republic due to the kind of wealthy consumer winter sports attract.

Lake Choktowaga and the Lava Mountains provide sports enthusiasts with places to row, boat, kayak, ski, snowboard hike, camp, hunt, mountain climb, and enjoy other rugged outside sports in the surrounding area including Silver Hill. Bluecastle is one of Millerainia's newest cities, being founded in 1895. It quickly grew with discovery of diamonds in caverns of the Lava Mountains, and then again with gold in the Squire River.

Harrogath
The United States of Nova Angleterre

POPULATION: 2,492,443
Languages: Terran (89.5%), Mestran (10%), Aiurian (.5%)
Climate: Alpine

Posted ImageA high-altitude view of the summit of Mount Arreat

Posted ImageThe city of Harrogath

THE city of Harrogath is one of the most historic tourist attractions in the United States of Nova Angleterre, well-known as one of the best skiing cities in the southern U.S. Sitting at the slopes of the legendary Mount Arreat, Harrogath, the state capital of Arreat, is a sportsman's city. Having fans of both seasons, Harrogath's sports franchises are amongst the most successful in the country. The Harrogath Barbarians of the United States Football League is a six-time League Champion and at the time of its application, is well on its way to a seventh, facing off with the New Orleans Saints in the USFL Championship game. The Harrogath Berserkers of the United States Hockey Federation, is a successful franchise who has won four league titles. The mighty Mount Arreat, which is a centerpiece of the city for generations past and present, provides people from all over the world many skiing, ice skating and snowboarding opportunities. Harrogath is also one of Nova Angleterre's most powerful military cities, home to the legendary Bastion's Keep and Pandemonium Fortress, and is also one of the strongest alternative energy-producing cities in the country.

Harrogath is located in the state of Arreat, in the southern United States. It lies on the Crystalline River, and sits and the foot of legendary Mount Arreat, which is at the center of the state. It has road connections that is only a few hours away from major airports in Tristram, Caldeum and Byzantium and other smaller airports in New Orleans, London and Richmond.

WHY HARROGATH?
Harrogath is a new breath of fresh air on the world stage, just as the United States of Nova Angleterre is as a country. A global choice of such a city in a young country would bring new blood into Oracia. While not a major metropolis in Nova Angleterre, Harrogath wields considerable strength and influence over the southern U.S. There are many hotels and accommodations scattered across the city and its suburbs, coupled with shops, restaurants and mom-and-pop stores just down the block. Harrogath is a scenic city, with a majestic view of Mount Arreat in the distance. Harrogath is only asking for one chance to become the host city of the 322 Winter Games. We only hope you give us the chance.

Queen Anne, Montdell, State of Millerainia


Population: 5,933
Language: Nueran (100%)
Climate: Alpine

The City of Queen Anne is a city located on the northwest corner of Montdell near the border with Buena Terra and the international border. The city of Queen Anne is the idyllic small-town in Millerainia. With a small population, the town has a very homey feel, for residents and visitors alike. It sits in the shadow of Mt. Queen Anne, named for a previous monarch of Millerainia. The city was founded in 1890 during the Montdell Diamond Rush. When the diamond pocket closed, the city market itself on personal enjoyment, with the construction of three large resorts in 1905. The city has since expanded around the hospitality industry. The city has become a center of winter sports for those who dislike large cities like Bluecastle. The city also sits near the popular Harrington Hot Springs, which heats the city. The city is also home to the Larkson Corp., which is a leader in producer for protective equipment for sports-players. The University of Larkson, founded by the company, is known for it's research in safety measures and protective equipment, and has been contracted to research new armor materials for the Millerainian Armed Forces.

Why Queen Anne?
Queen Anne is not like big cities that have been talked about. It is a homey feeling city, with existing winter sport locations. The city has an ice rink and is willing to pay for the construction of new venues with aid from the District of Montdell and the State of Millerainia. The city is a small town, it doesn't just feel small. But being a small town, it has made its way into the national and international stage. It has not lost its character however. You can still walk the safe streets at any time of night, visit a cafe or do some shopping during the day. The city is not afraid of the spotlight however. Queen Anne is beautiuful, it has character, it is sports crazy and would be a perfect place for the 2022/322 Winter Games.
