Genf
Genf is a city in the Walstadt and Light jurisdiction of the Lanzerwald Republic, belonging to the Light region. A historical name for the city is the Sangunese 元風, Genfū, though this name is no longer used as the Sangunese language is no longer spoken in the city. Still, the name of the city is derived from this Sangunese name that means "primary wind" due to the Antarctic winds facing the city. Claims that the name was related to that of Alexandria's capital of Geneva were once popular but have been discarded by all serious historians. The old spelling Geneva, as recorded by the MCS between 1534 and 1678 is considered to be a Problematic derivative of the original Sangunese.
The historic villages Freiburg and Luzern are considered to be part of the city of Genf.
