Mizhou

Mizhou, formerly called Mountainside is the de facto capital and largest city of Mingguo. It is by far the largest settlement in the nation in terms of surface area. Mizhou's sole inhabitant is AbolishSuburbs (Mich), whom is also the mayor of the city and the governor of the nation as a whole.

Initial construction
After the establishment of the nation of Mingren (now Mingguo) on February 12th, 2021, Mich expressed wanting to make a new city from scratch, as he had not done such at that point. He had looked towards the east, and on February 23rd, just after being done with the repairs to SoAss' tower, he discovered some relatively flat land to build on, on a peninsula in Sulawesi. Later the same day, Mich began construction on a new city that was left unnamed during this time; what he began building was a stone, andesite, and gravel foundation for the city to built, some docks that were to be removed later, a fence bordering the ocean, and some townhouses. While the exteriors and roofs of the townhouses were complete by around March 1st, the interiors would be left unfinished until more than a month later by at the latest April 5th. Mich also started to experiment with what the city center would look like and start creating frames for buildings to placed on as well as a fountain that would both be later taken down for future development.

Official establishment and expansion
During the beginning of construction of the city, Mich used a placeholder name when referring to it informally — Mountainside. However, it still had no official name for a lengthy period of time. This all changed when Sikorskiii suggested to Mich to name the city 'Mizhou' sometime in March 2021. This proposed name was a rough Chinese translation for 'Mich City', fittingly enough. Mich decided to take on the name for the city and officially established Mizhou as the capital city of Mingguo.

Mich continued construction of Mizhou henceforth. The city center would be complete by late March, with Mich having built a pagoda, a public warehouse, and a standalone house. By March 31st, he had finished the final townhouse, of which he turned into his home. The next day, he worked on and completed the Mizhou park east of the townhouses, which included a water fountain, wooden benches, and some artificial bushes. The day after that, Mich constructed a standalone home next to the park, which he eventually reserved and sold to JennyBudew. Mich began construction on market stalls and coinciding expansions to the city toward the east on April 4th. Unfortunately, all of his progress was reversed due to a certain incident that occurred on the server; this temporarily demotivated him, as he halted further construction until April 13th, three days after the server went back online.

After the market stalls were finished, Mizhou had been mostly complete, with the remainder of the work done by Mich being taken underground. On April 16th, Mich began construction on monorails expanding outwards from the Mizhou train station; specifically, he had worked on one northern route which terminated on the northernmost peninsula of Sulawesi, one southern route which terminated at the main gunpowder farm of Mingguo, and one western route which terminated in the western half of Sulawesi. This would ultimately be completed on April 25th, fourteen days before the end of the world.
