Ansium (/ænsiʌm/; from 1892 to 1974: Edington) is the capital city of the Heldervinian province Tuujarnia and the most populous city in Heldervin, with a population of 12,581,959 as of 2056. It is the seat of the Ansium County Area. Ansium is nicknamed the "City of Trade", thanks to the fact that it is the economic center of Heldervin as well. The city covers a land area of 3,139.04 km2 (1,211.99 sq mi). The Vrebsicourg Post ranked Ansium as the second-fastest growing city in Heldervin, after Vaalota.

Ansium was founded by Heldervinians in 1892 in a small river valley. It has been the capital city of Tuujarnia since 1906, when the role of national capital and Tuujarnia provincial capital was seperated. The city is home to the Ansium Global Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Heldervin.

History

Pre-settlement

For hundreds of years, indigenous people inhabited modern-day central Ansium and created thriving cultures. The historic Mincank tribe occupied the region long before Heldervinians arrived; the Mincank word for Edington is ignecei tomatukantus (Center of life).

In July of 1892, Heldervinians founded a settlement at what was then called ignecei tomatukantus yulechcanto (Valley of the center of life), so named by the Mincanks. It had been a a settlement of the tribe before, which lead to conflict over rights over the territory. After three lengthy years of disputes and minor sieges, an agreement was made in which the tribe would get small parcels of land in the territory. It was subsequently named Edington, a Heldervinianized version of ignecei tomatukantus.

Expansion

On 27 November 1898, the Edington Railroad was built, which started in Vrebsicourg, the capital of Heldervin, and Edington. Railroad officials hoped to take part in the Great Verdelainian Migration and gain Verdelainian immigrants; the plan worked, and by 1902, the population had more than tripled from 2,706 to 9,513. It was one of the first Heldervinian towns to have a railroad leading to it, and is the only Heldervinian city that has a predominantly Verdelainian population. The discovery of a silver deposit the following year, and later in 1903 a diamond deposit, attracted thousands of miners, merchants, and
