Brixivo

Brixivo is the national capital of Mursland and largest settlement of the duurzhavi of the same name. The city has both a seaport and airport under the same name, and maintains international connections via these, in both trade and transport. The rezidentsí of Brixivo has a population of 446.566, with 625.538 living across the province.

History
Brixivo is considered to be founded circa 300 AD with the construction of a fort on the Brin hill by Ancient Native Mursian civilisation, although proof has been found dating back to 1500 BC of permanent settlements on Brin. After the initial fort construction, the city quickly expanded until it was set in ash in 745 by the Brixivo Inferno, destroying everything but 43 houses. Plans were made to redesign the city to accommodate for the predicted population growth, but time restraints in reconstruction of housing ultimately resulted into an almost reconstruction of the city, and of all the plans only the construction of Wall of Itry was completed, which nowadays still can be found as Itry Boulevard.

In 18xx, the city saw major reconstructions in the center and east side, in which many 11th, 12th and 13th century buildings were demolished to make room for two large roads and new higher buildings. Only very few buildings survived this major reconstruction, which would be destroyed later in the century. Nowadays, the oldest buildings are Martin Gate (from 1078) and Tyr House (early 11th century), which both can be found respectively 100 and meters 600 outside of the Sobstuenostta.

In 1998, the microstate Bradi Republika was proclaimed in the Marshal Cleitus Ul., in Rezidentsí South Brixivo.

Politics
Brixivo houses the national government in a building known as the Sobstuenostta, the former city-palace. Brixivo has long history in national politics, and has housed many assemblies of the Bond of Mursland Countries.

Topography
The duurzhavi and city are located on the Brin peninsula, with centrally Brin hill, reaching a height of 19 meter above sea level. In the northwest of the peninsula, there is the Brin Bay, while the northeast and south are part of the transition from Órmos Bay to the Ammosea Sea. On the land, it is connected to the Duurzhavi of Rysech and Tergovína.

The duurzhavi of Brixivo is not divided into any klustí. However, it does have 3 rezidentsí: Brixivo Centralen, Nový Limani and Tarivo. Beside these town being part of the metropolitan area of Brixivo, it also extends beyond the duurzhavi borders into the neighbouring klustí of Susod-Vahos with the town of Svogje. Arguably, the klustís of Kazanlek-Kardas and Bonamech Roh are also considered part of the metropolitan area.

The metropolitan area of Brixivo is very accessible. It features an airport with flights all along the region, and a frequent connection to Plovina-Didetta International Airport, which features many international flights. The city also has a harbour, which features car-ferry connections to the island of Bradostovo as well as Izvungrad, Imperial Bohesia (which is faster than going over land). The city is connected to the H01 (via the K100 and K120) which leads southward to Gálybanda and northward into Provadidija, Thiselo, Pristaniselo and Stratonpolis. Train tracks run from South Brixivo Station and Brixivo Harbor Station northward, connecting it to the Mursian Rail Network as a final destination. Trains frequently run to Nalbantlari (Rysech) and Kastin (Plovina). The city also has a tram network, connecting the metropolitan area.

Sobstuenostta
The Sobstuenostta is a large former city palace found in the center of the city. With its circa 550 by 360 meters, the impressive building houses the national government, as well as the main office of various governmental organisations.

The building was originally constructed as a luxurious meeting hall between 1620 to 1631. The initial construction was situated just outside the outer wall of Fort Brixivo; the buildings outerwall was reinforced with various fortifications, of which many would be deconstructed in 1722 building improvements. The hall would be expanded with an additional meeting room and an enclosed garden.

In early 19th century, it was already determined that the building might be become too small in the future. In 1827, the Sobstuenostta would see an expansion to the northwest with additional offices, and former offices in the main building would be demolished to allow expansion of the large meeting hall, which would now allow seating for circa 200 people. This limit would be met in 2001, when 201 electives would take seat in government. Therefore, a reconstruction was executed in 1999, to enlarge the the seating up to 240, which would fit the estimated maximum population of Mursland to be hit in 2200 with 220 seats.
