The '''Government Quarter''' also called the '''Central Fortress''' and the '''Grey Zone''' is the heavily fortified district housing all of the central installations of the [[Daxia]]n government, it is also the seat of power of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]]. It covers an area of fifty square kilometers, it is surrounded by three separate rings of 8-meter high walls of reinforced, blast proof concrete equipped with fortified watchtowers, barbed wire, sensors, thermal cameras, drone surveillance round the clock and remote controlled machine gun nests. Entry points are few and are all guarded by members of the [[Bureau of State Protection]], these forces also have access to anti-air batteries, anti-tank weaponry and anti personnel vehicles. There are vast underground tunnel complexes with reinforced bunkers, warrens and redoubts that may extend as much as one kilometer underground; none of which are accessible to the public but are for the exclusive use of the country's leadership. A majority of the administrative and security staff of the Quarter live within its walls, it is designed to be a city within a city with its own separate metro and monorail lines, emergency energy reactors and autonomous food supply. [[Daxia]]'s ultra rich pay exorbitant prices to be able to live in the Central Fortress, not to mention extremely hard to pass security clearances. | The '''Government Quarter''' also called the '''Central Fortress''' and the '''Grey Zone''' is the heavily fortified district housing all of the central installations of the [[Daxia]]n government, it is also the seat of power of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats]].

Little Abaza is a suburb populated by the city's [[Sugondese people|Sugondese]], an ethnic group originally native to north [[Crona]]. | Little Abaza is a suburb populated by the city's [[Sugondese people|Sugondese]], an ethnic group originally native to north [[Crona]]. After the destruction of the Kingdom of Abaza in the 18th century, the surviving Sugondese population was brought over to [[Daxia]] by slavers. The Sugondese were use as laborers in nearly every large public construction project commissioned by the Qian authorities from the 18th century onwards be it palaces, administrative buildings, roads, canals and fortifications. Association in the Daxian psyche of Sugondese and manual labor became so intrinsically linked that even today foreign manual laborers are referred to as ''Kakun'', which is a [[Daxia]]n slur for dark skinned peoples. Naturally over time this Sugondese people had to be housed somewhere that was conveniently close to the never ending construction sites in the capital. Authorities designated a site south of the city to settle the Sugondese under official supervision. The Sugondese called their makeshift neighborhood Little Abaza in honor of their lost homeland. As the urban sprawl spread in all directions Little Abaza was eventually swallowed by the city and by design or due to a bureaucratic oversight, Little Abaza was not destroyed. | ||
