Major Cities of Annexea

For the most part, Annexea has a vast, sprawling decentralized population. However, there are several important cities throughout Annexea. [stub]

Barat

Barat is the largest port city in Annexea, located on its southern coast on the lower jaw of the Maw. Barat is considered to be the epitome of Annexean society, at least measured on the scale of chaos and corruption. Immigrants to Annexea must pass through Barat (alhough the immigration policy is very lax), and a large portion of Annexean trade goods pass through this city.

Bassa Resort

The people of Bassa, capitalizing on their beautiful, refreshing, and surprisingly tranquil island region, have recently contructed a huge resort area for tourists. The Bassa Resort was built largely with government money, with the Annexean Government reluctantly accepting that tourism would be more economically beneficial than, say, more suburbs, or an expanded deforestation effort.

The Bassa Resort was completed only a few years ago, and even now, it is being refined and expanded to meet a variety of tastes. The resort boasts a plethora of exotic drinks and "soothing" substances (i.e. drugs, this is Annexea, after all), beautiful flora and fauna in the surrounding forests, and miles of pristine beaches. Admittedly, the occassional oil tanker can be seen in the distance heading towards the southern Interzone coast, but for the most part, it is a pleasant atmosphere.

Politics of the Bassa Resort

The creation of the Bassa Resort demonstrates the independence that the regions of Annexea can assert. The resort violates many Annexean policies - don't preserve nature, don't let outsiders in without absorbing them into the society, don't be hedonistic. However, the Bassa people have a more easygoing, optimistic culture than that of the Ectoplasmic Interzone, so a resort seemed to be the perfect project. It was Foreign Affairs that eventually convinced the International Commerce Bureau that there would be significant benefits from such name recognition, and that it would be quite profitable to give outsiders a misleading, sugar-coated image of Annexea.

The control of the resort was given to Bassa, and aside from occassional inspections by the Annexean government, is left to its own devices.
