'''Port Hope''' is the {{wpl|capital city}} of [[Satavia]] and the [[Hope Province]]. It is located on the South-Eastern tip of Satavia, and overlooks [[Jan van Breybach|Breybach Bay]], and is also situated at the {{wpl|river mouth|mouth}} of the [[River Hope]]. Port Hope is Satavia's most populous city, with a total population of just over 4 million residents. Port Hope is the main financial and national administrative centre of Satavia, and is also home to Port Hope's dockyards, which, during the 20th Century, was one of the largest in the [[Asteria Inferior|Asterias]], following the [[Satavian Crisis]] and subsequent recession it was surpassed by the more convenient [[Pietersburg]]. The docks were also then surpassed by the docks at [[TBD]], until 2004 when the docks once again became the most used dock in Satavia.
'''Port Hope''' is the {{wpl|Capital city}} of [[Satavia]] and the [[Port Hope|National Capital District]], a federal territory within Satavia containing only the unitary authority of Port Hope. With a population of 2.4 million inhabitants, Port Hope is the most populous city in Satavia and also the oldest continually inhabited settlement on the island. Port Hope is located around [[Dolfynbaai]] and is situated at the mouth of the [[River Pelham]]. From the early 19th century the docks at [[Breybach Sands]] were some of the largest in the [[Asteria Inferior|Asterias]], before they slowly fell out of use as larger ships were unable to navigate the shallow waters at the mouth of Dolfynbaai, and by the late 20th century they had been made entirely redundant.


Port Hope was first established as ''Hoopstad'' (or, in Estmerish, "Hope Town) by [[Hennehouwe|Hennish]] explorer [[Jan van Breybach]] in 1549, but was abandoned two years later in 1551. The settlement was re-started multiple times, most notably in 1637-1641 before it was destroyed by "unknown causes", most likely famine. In 1729 it was once again re-started, and soon grew to become the biggest settlement in Satavia. In 1742, it was granted a charter, thereby becoming a Town.
Port Hope was founded as 'Nieuwe Zilverzee' on the 22 August, 1541 by the Hennish explorer [[Jan van Breybach]], who was the first Euclean to successfully navigate the [[Van Horn Straight]]. By 1590, the town had become known as 'Zanderig Inham', meaning 'Sandy Cove'. By 1747, Sandy Cove was by far the largest settlement on the island of Satavia and was the capital of the [[Dolfynbaai Kolonie]], the largest of the Satavian colonies. Sandy Cove was chosen as the new capital of the [[Dominion of Satavia]] when [[Dominion of Satavia|the federation of Satavia]] was achieved in 1816. The city grew in size throughout the 19th century. Sandy Cove began to refer only to the bay area of the city, whilst the name Port Hope became more commonplace. In 1895 the city was officially renamed Port Hope, in honour of [[Richard Hope, Earl of Longwood]], who was born in the city.  


Port Hope grew rapidly, soon reaching a population of an estimated 25,000 in 1747. In 1760, a {{wpl|baby boom}} lead to the population growing to nearly 100,000, becoming the largest city in Satavia and surpassing [[Port Arthur]]. In 1778, following the dissolution of Estmerish Asteria, a political union between Satavia and [[Nuvania]], the city became the capital of the new [[Estmerish Hope|Hope Territory]]. Since then, Port Hope has always remained the capital of Satavia.
The city's population skyrocketed during the [[Great Collapse (Kylaris)|Great Collapse]] as many Satavians moved away from rural areas in search of jobs and opportunities. By 1927, Port Hope was arguably the most advanced city in [[Asteria Inferior]]. The [[Port Hope Underground]], first opened in 1899, was the most advanced rapid transport network in Asteria Inferior and was based heavily on [[Morwall|Morwall's]] transit network. During the [[Defence of Port Hope]], much of the city was damaged and destroyed including most of [[Port Hope Castle]], a 17th century fortress in the centre of Port Hope, which was left in ruins until 1985, when the process of demolition began. The city is internationally recognisable by it's [[Port Hope Opera House|Opera House]] and [[Port Hope|Sandy Cove Bridge]].  


Much of Port Hope was built by Estmere, and as such much of the architectual style is similar to Estmerish cities. A large portion of the city center has been torn down and replaced with new Skyscrapers being put in their place. The city has excellent public transport service, with the [[Port Hope#Transport|Port Hope Underground]] being capable of carrying up to 200 million people every year.
The [[Satavia Act, 1999]] split Port Hope in half, with the area now known as [[Burnaby]] remaining in the Hope Province, whilst Port Hope became part of the newly formed [[Port Hope|National Capital District]]. The city is home to the National Capital District legislative council, the [[Parliament of Satavia]], [[Government House, Port Hope]], [[The Residence, Port Hope]], the [[Port Hope|National War Museum]], [[Port Hope|St Patrick's Cathedral]], [[Port Hope Opera House]] and [[Port Hope|Sandy Cove Bridge]]. Port Hope is also home to the [[Port Hope Stock Exchange]] and one of Asteria's oldest universities, [[University College Port Hope]] as well as various other academic institutions. The city is ranked highly in the [[World City Studies Institute]] as a [[World City Studies Institute|Tier 2 city]]. Today, Port Hope and Burnaby boast the highest living standard in western Asteria Inferior and the highest in Satavia.

Port Hope is the Capital city of Satavia and the National Capital District, a federal territory within Satavia containing only the unitary authority of Port Hope. With a population of 2.4 million inhabitants, Port Hope is the most populous city in Satavia and also the oldest continually inhabited settlement on the island. Port Hope is located around Dolfynbaai and is situated at the mouth of the River Pelham. From the early 19th century the docks at Breybach Sands were some of the largest in the Asterias, before they slowly fell out of use as larger ships were unable to navigate the shallow waters at the mouth of Dolfynbaai, and by the late 20th century they had been made entirely redundant.

Port Hope was founded as 'Nieuwe Zilverzee' on the 22 August, 1541 by the Hennish explorer Jan van Breybach, who was the first Euclean to successfully navigate the Van Horn Straight. By 1590, the town had become known as 'Zanderig Inham', meaning 'Sandy Cove'. By 1747, Sandy Cove was by far the largest settlement on the island of Satavia and was the capital of the Dolfynbaai Kolonie, the largest of the Satavian colonies. Sandy Cove was chosen as the new capital of the Dominion of Satavia when the federation of Satavia was achieved in 1816. The city grew in size throughout the 19th century. Sandy Cove began to refer only to the bay area of the city, whilst the name Port Hope became more commonplace. In 1895 the city was officially renamed Port Hope, in honour of Richard Hope, Earl of Longwood, who was born in the city.

The city's population skyrocketed during the Great Collapse as many Satavians moved away from rural areas in search of jobs and opportunities. By 1927, Port Hope was arguably the most advanced city in Asteria Inferior. The Port Hope Underground, first opened in 1899, was the most advanced rapid transport network in Asteria Inferior and was based heavily on Morwall's transit network. During the Defence of Port Hope, much of the city was damaged and destroyed including most of Port Hope Castle, a 17th century fortress in the centre of Port Hope, which was left in ruins until 1985, when the process of demolition began. The city is internationally recognisable by it's Opera House and Sandy Cove Bridge.

The Satavia Act, 1999 split Port Hope in half, with the area now known as Burnaby remaining in the Hope Province, whilst Port Hope became part of the newly formed National Capital District. The city is home to the National Capital District legislative council, the Parliament of Satavia, Government House, Port Hope, The Residence, Port Hope, the National War Museum, St Patrick's Cathedral, Port Hope Opera House and Sandy Cove Bridge. Port Hope is also home to the Port Hope Stock Exchange and one of Asteria's oldest universities, University College Port Hope as well as various other academic institutions. The city is ranked highly in the World City Studies Institute as a Tier 2 city. Today, Port Hope and Burnaby boast the highest living standard in western Asteria Inferior and the highest in Satavia.
