Port de Vormoune is a federal city in Oportia. The city has about 170,000 inhabitants according to the 1706 AN estimation, making it the smallest federal city in terms of population.
History
The city was founded in 1678 AN as Porto Vormouna, and was a capital of Caradian barony of Salòdica. It was a part of Projecto Porto, a Caradian plan to create and maintain a small trade port city in order to facilitate the transport of assets and goods.
During the civil war between 1682 and 1685, the city was attacked thrice by the members of Xenoclast. After the final attack and the fall of Caradian state, the nationalists have failed to establish a secure outpost due to the rebellion of the local population, which resulted in a death toll greater than a thousand throughout one year period. By 1686, the city was cleared from the Xenoclast rule, and victory of the locals was proclaimed.
Seeing the infrastructural and economic advancements of the nearest city of Vanie, the locals have established firm connections with the traders and wealthy individuals who were ready to invest in the city.
In 1706, upon Oportia's declaration of independence, the city was granted federal city status as Port de Vormoune.
