History
City founded
Olino was founded in 512, as a fishing settlement under the rule of a small council of tribal leaders. These pioneer settlers called their settlement Olino, or "The Homeland" and had little interest in exploration at first. But as settlers, they were among the first to settle in areas once classified as the inland woods.
Agarian Era
By 1300, Olino had become Rakeo's most populous city, and fisheries were rapidly disappearing. An army of foresters, officials and lumberjacks burned wide swathes of forest for use in agriculture. The new source of food, combined with new proposals to expand the infrastructure for railways, streets, power and other infrastructure proved effective, and the growing city spread further and further out into the existing forest. By the middle of the 14th century, hundreds of hectares of former forest had been destroyed. As the population expanded, so did the physical footprint of the city, from a small series of villages, outposts, and hamlets of just over 500 houses to a new thriving city with over 3000 houses.
New Expansion
In 2002, the Directory of Ordnance created a department of trees and timber to oversee the settlement of areas once classified as "deep woods", which where originally overgrown to the point of not facilitating construction. This Directory became a localized service to the city and successfully developed policies, training, and protocols which have allowed for rapid growth of the city. A few hard-working DoO employees have been instrumental in the growth of Olino since the Directory was established. The most notable of these is Dr. Malvolio. Malvolio was the President of the Directory of Ordance and a fierce proponent of the City's activities and environmental modification. Although not the first to jump on the development bandwagon, Dr. Malvolio, has been a stalwart in the development of modern defoliants now in common usage in Rakeo.
Geography and climate
The typical climate of Olino is dry winters followed by torrential spring rains, which often result in flooding.
Cityscape
The Directory of Architecture designed the standardized housing unit in 2001 as a means to help with an ongoing housing crisis, while many of its internal elements date to the pre-SRR era, the design was transmitted into architectural practice throughout Olino and Rakeo. The prefabricated block nature of these buildings are considered to be a typical characteristic of "national" architecture in modern Rakeo.
Climate
As the city's climate is fed by a current of warm winds from the adjacent Southern Sea, Olino has a wet but cool summer.
