Port Sistine was first founded by European settlers who landed on the island in early 1560 as the initial colonization of the Meridonian islands was conducted. Port Sistine was among the major city-states on Alexandria island prior to the formation of the [[First Union of Meridon| First Union]]. Port Sistine was an early center of democracy and elective process in Meridon, as guilds of merchants that dominated early city life often had competing interests. Port Sistine was the largest and wealthiest of the Meridonian citystates and traditionally maintained considerable naval powers. Large portions of the city were destroyed in the [[Nights of Fire]] in 1639. Port Sistine was one of the major receiving ports during the [[Great Displacement]], and was radically transformed by the massive influx of Anglian settlers. It alongside the other Alexandrian citystates renounced its sovereignty after the [[First Meridonian Civil War]], where it [[Siege of Port Sistine|successfully repelled]] an attempt to capture it by Sovereigntist forces. It was heavily damaged in a fire in 1882, and suffered sporadic bombing raids in the Second World War. Following the war, Port Sistine expanded massively and gained global significance. The city was established as a major metro area in 1961. It was damaged in a 1974 storm system, and was again during a 2003 flood.  
Cordelia was founded by Federal authority as the Federal District in 1760 as a compromise between factions belonging to city-states recently subjugated to a federalized authority in the wake of the [[Second Meridonian Civil War]]. The site was selected due to its centrality, large area for expansion, and location in an area not formerly controlled by any of the city-state governments. Originally intended as a smaller location for the meeting of government officials, the city's size grew along with the growing government until its establishment as a metropolitan area in 1840. Cordelia saw a population boom at the end of the Great War in Esvanovia, surpassing Alanstown and Cossetton to become the second largest city in Meridon by 1970. Authority over the city's municipal affairs was released by the Federal government in 1982, though sections of the city remain under direct authority of the Federal government.  


Since 1961, the Port Sistine Metro Government has administered over the city's tbd number of districts. Port Sistine hosts Meridon's largest stock exchange, the [[Sistine Stock Exchange]], and is home to 34 of Meridon's 100 largest companies.
