Yumedo, (Esonian: 湯水) is a city in Esonice. Translated to Anglish, Yumedo means "warm waters". The city has almost XX million inhabitants and a metropolitan area population of approximately XX million. The entire metropolitan area covers 2,512.2 km2.
The city is an important historical heritage site for Esonian and Iverican colonial history. It was founded in 1680 as an Iverican treaty port leased from the Most Serene Kingdom. From 1680 to the early 19th century, the Iverican Governadorcillo expanded the small fishing town of Yumedo into a large shipbuilding port with a walled citadel. It eventually became recognised as a city in 1799; by this time, Yumedo had become known as one of the largest shipbuilding cities in west Alharu and became known as the Esonian "Gateway to Argis" due to its importance as a critical stopover port between Iberic colonial holdings in the Orient and Iverica proper. By the 1800's Yumedo was the most prosperous of foreign ports in Esonice by value of traded goods.
Yumedo was returned to the Esonian crown on Iverican initiative as a token of goodwill in the 7th of January 1941. The city remains significant to Esonian-Iberic relations and considered as a symbol of goodwill and historic cooperation between both nations. As of 2023, a sizeable Iberic and biracial Esonian-Iberic community still make up a significant demographic of Yumedo's population.
Yumedo's economy is lead by shipbuilding, maritime services, logistics & freight, and retrail commerce. It also has a significant toursim and hospitality industry, reliant on the appeal of Ibero-Esonian colonial architecture in the cities Citadel district. Yumedo offers a unique cuisine known as Dei Essonesé in Iverican, a fusion of Southern Iverican and Esonian cuisine.
