"The Edge of the East."
Old Provluk- Downtown Veroykne
Veroykne is the capital of Akordania and its most populous city. It remains an important cultural and industrial center for Eastern Europe. The cityscape of Veroykne is a gorgeous mixture of traditional Muscovite, Soviet and modern architecture. For daytime activities, Veroykne is host to a number of charming historical districts rife with Orthodox cathedrals, monasteries, theaters, museums and monuments; most notably Martyr Square and Old Provluk. After a morning spent touring Saint John's Cathedral, honored guests of Akordania can also make their way just a few blocks down to see the world-renowned Velych Theater, or perhaps wander through the lavish Spokiy Gardens. For those looking to see the entirety of the city in a a shorter period, Veroykne offers an extensive underground metro system, as well as public trams, buses and taxis. At night, the heart of Veroykne truly comes alive. Park Triumf is a very popular area for both tourists and locals alike in the evenings, regardless of the season. Roads leading into Triumf are closed as they are packed with food vendors, musicians, and partygoers. Flanked on both sides by sleek nightclubs, restaurants and outdoor cafes, the Triumf district and greater Veroykne is unsurpassed in its provision of an unforgettable experience.
Sumerki Quarter- Grekhovsk
Grekhovsk is Akordania's second most populous city and the epicenter for the nation's cultural and economic transition into modernity. Seated on the Siniy and Traezhto rivers, Grekhovsk similarly boasts a rich collection of historical buildings and monuments within the inner city. Much of the development outside of the aforementioned radius occurred in the mid-1960s as a result of the USSR's expansion of machinery development industries. As a result, Grekhovsk's many factories and plants account for a massive portion of the post-Soviet Akordanian economy. The city is home to the state-funded Zonia University, which presides over several prestigious schools for international relations, business management, journalism, philosophy and social sciences, and theology. Under the influence of Zonia University, the surrounding districts of Nizkhyokhvat and Konba have become colorful bohemian enclaves teeming with young life. Though it is evident Grekhovsk offers something for visitors of all tastes, it is no secret that it is notorious for its risqué nightlife. Clubs, hookah lounges, casinos, and brothels are commonplace- especially in Sumerki Quarter. Compared to Akordania's neighbors, Grekhovsk offers the pinnacle of adult entertainment in Europe at reasonable expense.
Mirzhiy District- Smirnivsk
Smirnivsk is Akordania's southernmost city, known primarily as an enclave for the Vazkh ethnic group. Positioned in an arid basin surrounded by towering and rugged mountains, Smirnivsk also prides itself in being the nation's primary source of oil; presiding over the Lozhsztyni and Denigora fields, along with countless pipeline networks.The city remains very conservative in comparison to Veroykne and Grekhovsk, due entirely to its longstanding Vazkh policymakers. The headquarters for the notorious "Berkut", Akordania's elite Republican Guard, sits at the mouth of the Mirzhiy District-- offering a free museum for both tourists and citizens alike. Smirnivsk's attractions range from its many well-maintained parks, biking trails, and farmer's markets to the newly-constructed Yukashenko Stadium. There, cult followers of Akordania's professional football league, "Slava FC", enjoy weekly matches. Yukashenko Stadium also offers concerts and festivals during cooler seasons. The city is the end of the line for the state-owned railway company "Akord-U", which presides over a nearly 6,000 kilometer expanse of track. Smirnivsk is the perfect choice for tourists driven toward the cultural and historical aspects of the Republic of Akordania.
