=== Mythical Maessen ===
=== Mythical Maessen ===
Neu Maessen is named after an ancient tale about the city of Maessen, belonging to a land that's distant from but related to [[Hendalarsk]]. It's said that Maessen was a fantastical city where the most powerful rulers in the world would gather to meet and discuss the future of the world. It's also said that everyone in Maessen spoke a completely pure form of Gothic, and wore gilded suits. Neu Maessen literally means "New Maessen", and was named after mythical Maessen by Joseph Seuber with the intent of Neu Maessen to become the capital of his new Gothic country, similar to the one Maessen was in.

=== Pre-Gothic Neu Maessen ===
Prior to mass Gothic settlement in 1585, Neu Maessen was an Indigeno-Calderan town called "Blue Water" with a population of roughly 42,000. Blue Water was a fishing town with several buildings dedicated to gods, but was not nearly as popular as Neu Maessen is today. Proportionately, more Volins live in Neu Maessen today than they lived in Blue Water.

Many [[Volkspartei]] members saw Neu Maessen as being a terrible city for legislating the new Gothic nation because of how many Volins were in the city. This resulted in the creation of [[Little Caldera]] in 1607, but residents of Neu Maessen enjoyed the area so much that they refused to move to a new city, legislating in Neu Maessen until it became illegal in 1619.

Active pro-Volin politics in Neu Maessen triggered waves of immigration in the 1860s and 1870s. Neu Maessen is home to at least 180,000 Volin and Volin Gothic residents, making it the largest Volin community outside of Bavogia.

The last decade experienced an influx from various [[Occidental world|Occidental]] countries and some [[Levantine Union|Levantine]] regions. Many foreigners are drawn to Neu Maessen for its tropical environment and high quality of life.
