'''Little Caldera''' is the capital of [[ | '''Little Caldera''' is the capital of [[Calderan Republic|Caldera]]. Founded in 1607 to house representatives of the [[Volkspartei]], Little Caldera is a majority Gothic city. Home to 100 thousand residents, it's biggest markets are fishing and boat construction. | ||
The city was built in a strategic spot, inside of a circular valley that opens to the sea, to deter invasion from hostile forces. Although this placement has come over time to raise controversy, and military experts remark that the mountains all around allow enemies to gain ground on Little Caldera and invade without any room for residents to escape. Regardless of the actual protection gained, this security was the basis on the capital's name, as it seemed like it was placed inside a little caldera. | The city was built in a strategic spot, inside of a circular valley that opens to the sea, to deter invasion from hostile forces.

Little Caldera was established in 1607 as the country's capital due to concerns over too many [[Indigeno-Calderan|Indigeno-Calderans]] in the first capital of Neu Maessen. Despite these concerns and the creation of a new capital, many Volkspartei leaders still lived in Neu Maessen and even held legislative sessions until 1619 when it was deemed illegal to legislate anywhere besides Little Caldera. This law inadvertently also brought all provincial capitals and legislators to Little Caldera, ironically raising the Volin population. | Little Caldera was established in 1607 as the country's capital due to concerns over too many [[Indigeno-Calderan|Indigeno-Calderans]] in the first capital of [[Neu Maessen]].

Before Little Caldera was established, it was home to a small 10 person Indigeno-Calderan settlement called Awap. Awap was mainly a fishing village, but they had built a shrine to honor the sea god, which was later turned into the modern day hall of Mashk museum. | Before Little Caldera was established, it was home to a small 10 person Indigeno-Calderan settlement called Awap.

During these few months, Little Caldera was a war zone, and multiple neighborhoods and streets were decimated, only to be rebuilt and renovated months later thanks to extra budget given by the Volkspartei. | ||
