Mizube no Machi (Waterfall City) is an Anagonian pseudo-exclave located on the North Chamorro Islands. Emerging from the leasing of the Chamorro Isles to Anagonia during the Great War, it would come to be a major basing region, being owned by Anagonia throughout the entirety of the Korean Civil War. While the islands as a whole were returned to Neo-Korea, a new deal was signed to lease the territory of Mizube to Anagonia as a military base in perpetuity, while the day-to-day governance of the region would be handled by Neo-Korea with Anagonian oversight. This agreement has been seen to be a major realization of the positive relations between Anagonia and Neo-Korea, which were jeopardized for a period during the Great War.
Mizube is a major point of tourism alongside its utilization as a naval base, owing to the relaxation of many of the restrictions present on the Mainland or other parts of Chamorro, holding the only major temple (one of Drekanity) present under government oversight. The temple regularly imports Anagonian religious figures from abroad to ensure adherence to ritual in a correct fashion.
History
Ancient History
The area which would become Mizube would be minorly inhabited by the native peoples of the Chamorro for a fair period of time, acting as a minor hub of trade and a point of discussion and peacemaking. It would cease to fulfill this role during the period of Marquesan colonization, owing to its lack of noticeable resources aside from sea access which was also available in the northern city of Tokai.
Great War
Mizube first came about during the Anagonian period of control over the Chamorros, acting as a naval base and notable port for Anagonia until it was handed over back to Neo-Korea in the wake of the Korean Civil War. Ultimately, owing to the population of Anagonians which had developed from interactions between the sailors and the general populace, it would be put under a joint-management system between the two powers, allowing it to maintain its valuable role as a port.
Environment and Geography
The climate of Mizube is similar to the other isles of the Chamorros, being tropical, with moderate winters and high summer temperatures, although this is somewhat mitigated by the closeness of the Northern Chamorros to the colder continent. Humidity is notable throughout the entirety of the year. It is bordered by the Meitetsu River to the south, and to the north it is bordered by the port of Tokai.
Transportation
Mizube possesses a High-Speed Rail network operated by the Akira Heavy Industries subsidiary Akira Rail, which operates a majority of the HSR networks in Neo-Korea. The HSR network covers several key points of interest, including the Drekanic Shrine, the Mizube Provisional Airport, and Tokai Port to the north.
Politics
The administration of Mizube, as mentioned, is carried out by an elected council with joint Neo-Korean and Anagonian oversight. The currently leading party is the Rokujūichi Rengō (Sixty-One Union), a generally juridstiction-neutral party which has primarily focused upon continued development of the tourism and services industry, alongside limited adaption of the Anagonian Denar for utilization within the city (a similar action to Far Island.
Notable Structures
Mizube Provisional Airport
Mizube Provisional Airport is the second-largest airport in North Chamorro, accepting both international and domestic flights. It has the space to accept several Anagonian passenger jets, acting in a spoke-and-hub fashion.
Mizube Drekanic Shrine
Mizube Drekanic Shrine is the only approved place of worship in the current territory of Neo-Korea, making it a major point of religious import and the home to the Council on Religious Affairs.
