~~Brief Overview~~

Easthampton is a city and metropolitan area in the Eastern part of [[Arcerion]]'s [[Moorden Governorate]], and is Arcerion's fourth-largest city with a burgeoning population of almost 2.3 million people. Easthampton is located in the Eastern [[Aileach Mountains]] and is considered to be the soical, cultural, financial and commercial centre of Eastern Arcerion. Distinctively, Easthampton is one of the few Arcer cities that is not based on one of the [[Geography of Arcerion|major rivers of Arcerion]], and is instead entirely inland.

~~own sub dialect/accent~~ of ~~english~~

Historically a mining and industrial town during the 19th and 20th centuries, Easthampton saw rapid growth with the introduction of heavy rail and transportation infrastructure during the late 1800s, becoming a boom town with a swelling population and economy, producing much of the iron ore and other raw and processed industrial materials that help launch the modern Arcer economy. By 1900, it was often referred to as the 'Heart of Industrial Crona' by foreign and domestic newspapers. The relatively easy access to mineral ore and the extensive rail network provided by the national railway ensured that it was able to export mass amounts of natural resources to [[Crona]] and [[Levantia]]. These mining and industrial conglomerates continue to hold considerable sway in Moorden and Arcerion's political sphere.

~~occasional~~ earthquakes

The rather remote nature of Easthampton also led to a distinctive subsect of [[Arco Determinism]], wherein there is an Easthampton accent and distinct sub-culture not found in wider Arcerion. This is also a byproduct of the [[National Arco Rugby League|Easthampton Mountainmen]], one of the most successful rugby teams in the history of Arcerion.

Easthampton continues to be economically dominated by the mining and energy sector, with a [[Energy in Arcerion|planned nuclear reactor]] to be built by 2030. However, natural disasters such as low-magnitude earthquakes are not uncommon, leading to several engineering challenges to ensure the safe replacement of coal-fired power plants. Easthampton is also home to [[Structure of the Arcer Army#7 Rifle Brigade|several major military installations]] making it one of Arcerion's largest cities per-capita of servicemembers.
