History

Mesoun Crisis

The city was at the epicentre of the Mesoun Crisis being the first and largest city held by Mesoun Republican League separatists during the conflict. Florian police offered no resistance at the start of the conflict and the city fell temporarily to the insurgents who eventually declared Mesoun an independent nation, this sparked the conflict after the assasination of the City’s founder and President Isabelle Chopin.

During the conflict the city was assaulted heavily by shelling with high numbers of civilian casualties. The city was eventually taken back into Florian control with the Florian right wing populist Democratic Conservative Party becoming the governing party in the city council.

Culture

The Orthodox Church is the strongest religious community in Marinsk with a small number of Church of Floria and umraist followers also present. Orthodox cathedrals are prevalent throughout the city.

Transport

The main forms of local transport in the city are buses and an extensive tram system with 10 lines. There is approximately around 100 bus routes in the city. A metro system has been under construction since the end of the Mesoun Crisis.
