Chieujeau
Chieujeau is a small town in Jouoangquoi, a.k.a. the Pearl Kingdom. It was recently captured by the French Army, but many of the native Jouoangquoirens are still there. The French have a large camp outside the town since the town is not large enough to house them all. The camp has everything you would expect to find in a Napoleonic era army camp -- tents, horses, obsolete weapons, etc.
Jouoangquoirens are more or less black people. They usually have bright platinum blond hair and piercing blue eyes -- but their skin color, their facial features, and the texture of their hair are similar to African black people. They revere the sea, and they have distinctive jewelry and architecture using shells and pearls as decorations. Chieujeau is not on the coast, but most buildings will still have decorative doorways covered with shells. Fish, goat meat, yams, and coffee are staples of the local cuisine. The climate is tropical. Although it is normal to see bare-chested women, full nudity is still taboo. Public expressions of sexuality are considered gauche. Jouoangquoirais society is generally conservative concerning gender, sex, marriage, etc. -- but physical displays of affection between friends of the same gender are accepted. Hard drugs are unknown, but milder drugs like alcohol, marijuana, coca, etc. are generally available. In dry weather, you may see some reddish dust blowing around from dirt roads and farmers' fields.
Chieujeau Raceway is a minor local track that has never hosted anything like NSSCRA. It has been many years since it was last repaved, the seating and amenities are very basic, and there is some damage where Murat led a cavalry charge during the French conquest of the track.
Although Chieujeau does not have the resources and amenities of a major city like Kardashia or Tundra Falls, the Jouoangquoirens are known for their hospitality and they are eager to welcome NSSCRA to their little corner of the world. It's the kind of place where people will greet you with a bright friendly smile and serve you up a nice hot meal, but the toilets are probably out of toilet paper. The French occupation has put additional strain on the town's resources, but the French have also added their own touch to the festivities, decorating the track with their national symbols, cooking up their own food to serve alongside the local dishes, and of course bringing in their marching bands.
If you are using large aircraft to bring in crews, equipment, etc. you may want to land at Chétean, which has a larger runway than the one in Chieujeau. Since Chétean is not under French occupation, you may get some questions from the local authorities, and you will probably get searched for weapons -- but you will still be allowed to land.
