Moulins is a city located in Zamastan and is the capital and second-largest city of the province of Redeemer’s Land, after Addleview. It has a population of around 996,000 and is a major transportation, economic, and cultural hub for the province, located on the northern end of a metropolitan area consisting of the cities of Coleman and Blairmore. The city is one of the few primarily French-speaking cities in Zamastan outside of Mayotte and Auraine, having been originally settled by Quetanans in the early 17th century, and later predominately inhabited by Avergnonian refugees fleeing religious persecution in the early 1800s. A merchant city since its origins and a manufacturing city since the 19th century, a focus on industry made it a great industrial capital, mainly around the textile and mechanical industries. Their decline, from the 1960s onwards, led to a long period of economic crisis and it was not until the 1990s that the conversion to the tertiary sector and the rehabilitation of the disaster-stricken districts gave the city a different face. Nowadays, Moulins is known as a pristine tourist destination and for its cuisine.
