Jameisville

Jameisville is a city located in southwestern Snowland, in the United States of Quentin. The city is one of the major cities of the USQ, having the 17th largest population for a city in the nation, with a current population of 917,844. Located near the border with the Grassland Area, the city is the district seat of the Jameis District, and is the second-largest city in terms of population and its economy in Snowland.

The city was founded in 1800 by a group of settlers that had set out from Lindin looking to expand their territory. Jameisville was a major city in the Territories of Quentin, which belonged to the Megatridimensional Order. After independence from the Order in 1823, the city became officially incorporated under Quentinian law in 1836. Named for Quentinian founder and politician Kindy Bost-Jameson, the city has one of the smaller populations for major cities, although it has a large economy. Ranked 10th among cities in the nation in terms of its GDP, Jameisville is a major center of industry and commerce in the nation, the city linking the Gulf of Creed with Lindin, Greenscoast, and the rest of Snowland.

Jameisville is renowned for its industry, however also has numerous cultural attractions. These include Kindy Bost-Jameson Field, a historic roofball stadium, Kindy Bost-Jameson Memorial Island which sits at the edge of the city, near the Gulf of Creed. The city's large forests and historic neighborhoods also create part of Jameisville's identity, with major celebrities and historical figures such as Presidents Arthur Chikes and William Buchlicher, GTNEC Max Wulfric, business tycoons Drew Tenney and Ryan Clirks, as well as Kindy Bost-Jameson himself.

History

1800's

In 1799, the city of Lindin in Snowland had grown significantly since it was founded a year earlier, and that year the city approved for a group of settlers to leave the city and establish a new city to be a part of The Territories of Quentin, which was at the time a territory of the Republic of Megatridimensional Order. In early 1800, the settlers departed the city and set out west. In September of that same year the settlers found a suitable spot for the new city, on the shores of the Gulf of Creed. They called it Jameisville, after founder of the territories and leader Kindy Bost-Jameson.

Starting in 1805, the territories demanded statehood from the MTO, and protests began. Jameisville originally did not protest as much as other cities, such as Mechanicsburg or Baltimore, but when the Order Guard was sent in to the country, the city began to protest. Things escalated, and Jameisville became the city with the most violent and destructive protests, with hundreds dying during this period.

Demographics

Ethnicity

Although much of the rest of Snowland has a large Aspkausian population when it comes to ethnicity, Jameisville has a much smaller population of Aspkausians, as its qualities as a center of industry and commerce have made it a center of immigration in the past, with workers looking for factory work. Currently, the city has a 51% majority of Zwakanavs, with 40% being Aspkausians, 5% being Gadoupes, 3% being Jumange, and the rest of other or unspecified ethnicity.

Religion

Jameisville has a majority Christian population, much like the rest of the state. Nearly 86% of all citizens in the city identify as Christian, with 80% following Quentinian Christianity and the rest following Allian Christianity. Followers of Rationalism and Trinitism make up 10% of the population, with 2% following Skethianity and the rest following either Reformed Hatvism, no religion, or another religion. This vast Christian majority means there are numerous churches in the city, the major ones being Second Street Bakers Church, Third Weber National Unity Church, United Messiah of Jameisville River, and Brian Joseph Liberal Church. The first two churches belong to the Weber National Church denomination, while the third belongs to the United Messiah Church and the fourth is part of the Liberal United Messiah Church. By far the largest, however, is the Prayers to Our Lord Church, a part of the Allian Church.

Language

Like the rest of the country, Jameisville is made up of mostly English and Farmine speakers.
