The Geodesic Climate "City" is an expansive area about 20 miles from Aurora City which has forty freestanding climate controlled geodesic domes designed for preservation of foreign flora, insect life, as well as small mammals and amphibians. The domes retain much of the sun's natural heat due to the way they are constructed and need only modest electric heat powered by a nuclear reactor constructed about ten miles from the dome city. Most of the forty domes are about 100 feet in diameter and they are maintained by the Ecological Studies Agency. Each dome is intended to preserve a specific region's flora and fauna, and accordingly the climate controls in each match conditions of the source of the creatures and plants. Strict policies preventing cross-contamination are in place. The dome city began construction in 2019 and was completed in 2024, with significant delays due to the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. One dome, which contains a carefully curated mix of bugs and small animals from across the world, is open to the public year round. The "zoo dome" has become famous for its variety of colorful butterflies, who thrive in the dome's conditions and are easily seen in large numbers. | The Geodesic Climate "City" is an expansive area about 20 miles from Aurora City which has forty freestanding climate controlled geodesic domes designed for preservation of foreign flora, insect life, as well as small mammals and amphibians.

The vast majority of permanent residents of the preserve are either researchers stationed by [[League of Nations]] member states, individuals employed by the [[Provost-General_of_the_League_of_Nations#Protected_Lands_and_Sea_Lanes_Authority|Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority]], service sector employees associated with the small tourist industry within the preserve, and the families of these individuals. The remaining population are transient natives of [[Venua'tino]] who seasonally migrate in or through the preserve with special permission, who probably number about 50 at any given time. As a result, the total permanent population of the preserve is no more than 3,000 and likely around 2,400 at any given time. Though the [[Final War of the Deluge]] had a negative effect on the tourist industry within the preserve, since [[2025]] the preserve has seen about 250,000 tourists per year, though no more than 30,000 on any given day. | The vast majority of permanent residents of the preserve are either researchers stationed by [[League of Nations]] member states, individuals employed by the [[Provost-General_of_the_League_of_Nations#Protected_Lands_and_Sea_Lanes_Authority|Protected Lands and Sea Lanes Authority]], service sector employees associated with the small tourist industry within the preserve, and the families of these individuals.

==Crticism== | |||
The Preserve's existence has been criticized by some, including the government of [[Carna]], as a form of {{wp|imperialism}} due to its appropriation of lands previously belonging to the [[Venua'tino]]. The scientific mission carried out at the Preserve has also been criticized, with the climate adaption and geodesic programs in particular viewed as "irresponsible" by some within the scientific community. In addition, the cost of maintaining a nuclear power facility and the climate controls for large areas has been condemned by political parties in several countries. The project overall has been criticized in some corners as a "vanity project", with accusations that its otherwise laudable goal has been used as political cover for the activities of [[The Deluge]]. | |||
