'''Winnecomac''', officially the '''City of Winnecomac''', is the capital and largest city of the | '''Winnecomac''', officially the '''City of Winnecomac''', is the capital and largest city of the Lakawachee Qoyalet in Western [[Tulangia]]. It is the second largest city in Tulangia by population, only behind regional capital [[Sevier]]. It is located on the southwestern border of Tawaukee and Namanoq Provinces on the Qosori River, around 20 miles from the border between [[Tierrador]] and [[Asteria]]. It is the 32nd-most populous city in the [[Tierrador|Tierradorian Woqalate]], with a 2030 census population of 431,909 within the city limits. Winnecomac is the anchor of the 5-parish, 2-qoyalet Winnecomac–Venceia Metropolitan area. The Winnecomac metro area is the 41st-largest metropolitan area in Tierrador, with an estimated population of 959,203, as reported by the 2030 census. Downtown Winnecomac is the cultural center and home to many small businesses and a number of high-rise buildings. The area has a variety of shops and restaurants. Centrally, River Street contains a pedestrian zone with sidewalk cafes and restaurants. The neighborhood has many local restaurants, bars, and boutiques. The area also contains the River Block, a large shopping mall built in 1996. Downtown Winnecomac's main attractions include the Lakawachee Qoyalet Capitol, the classic Qabóri Theatre on the corner of Capitol Boulevard and Main Street, the Winnecomac Art Museum on Capitol in front of Aphío A. Woderq Park, and Zoo Winnecomac on the grounds of Aphío A. Woderq Park. | ||
The city was founded in | The city was founded in 679 by the [[Qabóri Woqalate]], whom had recently expanded into the area. The city was the center of many conflicts that occurred from the late 7th century to the early 8th century between Qabór and the [[Soqweux]] tribe, who had quite a large sphere of influence on their own. The [[Qabóri Colonization of Soqweux]] in 722 had ended the conflicts, as the Soqweux Colony was established by the Woqalate. For the 600 years that Soqweux was under the Qabóri banner, Winnecomac served as a large trading post, and became an important stop on many routes going to and from Soqweux. After the independence of the Woqalate of Soqweux in 1335, Winnecomac remained under Qabóri sovereignty, and served as a border town between the two. 400 years following this, [[Faneria|Fanerian]] settlers, in their newly-established colony of [[Asteria#Faneria and Dominion (1775-1829)|Asteria]], captured the city from the [[Western Republic (Crona)|Western Republic]] in 1779. The settlement was then re-founded as a way to regulate trade between them and the rogue Western Republic. After the independence of Asteria in 1836, and the fall of the Western Republic at the hands of the [[Qabóri Woqalate]] in the 1870s, tensions between Tierrador and the newly-founded Asterian state grew exponentially as the city of Winnecomac became an extremely important economic and political location. Many skirmishes took place in the city during the late 1800s and the early 1900s. In 1979, Asteria launched a full-scale invasion of Tierrador via the many military bases in Downtown and the outskirts of Winnecomac. This began the [[Cowboy Crisis]]. The invading Asteria got quite far into Tulangia Region, however they were quickly pushed back across the Tierrador-Asterian border, taking the city of Winnecomac in the process. Since 1983, Winnecomac has officially been a part of Tierrador. | ||
Throughout the rest of the 19th century, the transportation and jobbingsectors were important in the city, along with its railroads and breweries. In the 20th century, the Winnecomac Stockyards, once the world's largest, and its meatpacking plants gained international prominence. Presently, Winnecomac is the home to the headquarters of four Q&Q 400 companies: shipping and logistics company Western Express; one of the world's largest construction companies, Ayawit Corporation; insurance and financial firm Mutual of Winnecomac; and the Tierradorian Republic's largest railroad operator, Far Western Railroads. Western Express is headed by local investor Antti Solana, one of the wealthiest people in the world, according to a decade's worth of international rankings, some of which have ranked him as high as No. 1. Winnecomac is also the home to four Q&Q 1000 headquarters: Tulangia Mutual, Winnecomac Softworks, TerraTrade, and Tsuqan Industries. Also headquartered in Winnecomac are the following: Bank of Winnecomac, the fifth largest privately held bank in Tierrador; and two of the nation's ten largest architecture/engineering firms (III Group and AOQ, Inc.). | Throughout the rest of the 19th century, the transportation and jobbingsectors were important in the city, along with its railroads and breweries.
