Kirkland - The Center of Astyria

The growing city is home to some 7.8 million souls, and is coming into its own. It is one of the most important cities in ViZion's State of Astyria, being a major tourist and business center. The massive city is an hours drive from the beach and sits along a river and several lakes. The business district is home to several multinational corporations, including Astyria Corporation's global headquarters and Vivaj Mobile.

Culture & Life
The Kirkland Culture is a vibrant, easily described as active and exciting. Swim the lakes, go rafting in the rivers, see one of the cities sports teams all year around. And the nightlife is second to none in the city known as the City of Astyria. Thousands of restaurants, bars, clubs, and event locations through the city encourage locals and tourists alike to come out and enjoy the sights, sounds, and action.

The ViZionarian Gamers - the national baseball team of ViZion which has represented the country in the World Baseball Classic - practices her. Meanwhile, you can catch the Kirkland Frontiers soccer team, Kirkland Icelanders ice hockey team, the 2017 American football champion Kirkland Vipers, one of two Kirkland baseball teams - the Lions and the Stampedes - and the basketball team, the Kirkland Raiders. The city is also expected to get an expansion rugby team in the next two years as well.

Kirkland International Airport (KIR) is one of the region's largest and most important airline hubs. A central airport for regional business and tourist travelers alike, KIR handles thousands of flights and tens of thousands of passengers daily. The bustling airport is home to over 500 gates in ten terminals, and is expected to add two more terminals by decades end.

Business District
Home to some of the world's largest corporations such as Astyria Corporation, Vivaj Mobile, and NuHealth, Kirkland's business district is both incredibly powerful and incredibly busy. Hosting technology and healthcare companies alike, two of the most profitable and important industries in the current world economy, helps to set the cities economy apart from most others. With companies such as NuHealth, the world's largest healthcare corporation, the city has seen the average income and housing prices spike in recent years to among the highest in the nation, and the region.

It has also lead to a business district boom with domestic, international, and foreign companies alike all streaming into the city, setting up offices and research centers. The boom is comparable to what Vitalita had seen over the previous two decades, and many analysts see this city eventually threatening Vitalita as the nation's leading business epicenter.

High Education
With the economic boom, financial growth, and vibrant culture of Kirkland also comes a higher education boom as well. The city boasts one of the largest student counts anywhere globally between the six major universities and countless smaller colleges.

Greetings, my name is Sekka Verndara, the co-owner of the Two Seas Trading Company, and I am pleased to state that my company is interested in establishing two stores of our own in Kirkland, although we will need to use and construct portals to supply the storefront, while Kirkland's modern technology will most likely be enough to store most of our goods (if allowed, magic could be used to enhance storage space). Good business with ye, and we hope that your company flourishes.

To Whom It May Concern,

It has come to our attention that your city, nay, your entire country, is drastically lacking in the finest cuisine of all- Naqin cuisine. I hereby offer to rectify this tragic situation by establishing a restaurant focusing entirely on Naqin cuisine, with food carts ready to deliver our fine food directly to waiting customers. My House’s restaurant chain, Ketlos!, has enjoyed considerable popularlity in Naqil and has a reputation for high quality meals made from high quality ingredients, while still being readily affordable and perfect for the man on the go.

I await your reply,
-Qoleremi Chihua of House Xohua

Home Nation: Naqil
Business Name: Ketlos!
Retail or Restaurant? Restaurant
Type of Retail or Restaurant: Mixed (food cart and diner)
Quantity of Locations: 5
Storefront: N/A
Additional Information: 4 food carts supplied by a ‘parent’ restaurant- the idea is that the diner takes in standard walk-in customers, while the food carts spread out and look for customers wherever there happens to be a particularly dense congregation of people. Both serve traditional Naqilo street food, which is generally variations on the theme of “stuff served on flatbread, with spicy or tangy sauce.” This ‘stuff’ (meat, potatoes, yams, squashes, etc) is chopped up and fried as the already-cooked supplies are bought up.

Quantity of Locations: 1

Storefront: (if applicable)

Additional Information: It is no problem in Nihon for the women of these establishments to sometimes engage in more carnal pleasures with paying customers. Nihon is very sexually liberal in its culture and laws. It is however understood that this may or may not be the case in Astyria. If such practices are illegal in the local area, business practices will of course conform to local regulations and simply refrain from offering any services which would otherwise be illegal. 'Geishas' in Nihon are not always limited to the traditionally female gender and sex and males and females alike are often offered up to customers of all genders and sexes without bias in Nihon. Please let our businesses know of any relevant regulations/concerns your communities might have about such work. We are more than willing to communicate, compromise and accommodate. Nihon and this establishment specifically employs only willing and able bodies to be engaging in such activities and all 'flowers' of ours are well payed and respected. Let us know of any regulations you might have that we should consider.

Dear Kirkland, what do all major cities have in common? A bus network. In order for your great city to have a world class bus network, you will need to construct a bus fleet.

If you are interested, please fill out a form in the storefront linked above (offer rejected, unless you fill out a form).
