Babylon

History
Babylonia, also known as "Babylon" was founded on 11th March 2020 by Axeriss between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (XYZ 5350, 60, -3860) on a once barren desert landscape. Today the city flourishes as the fertile heartland of the Middle East.

The city has undergone significant construction since its inception, with its centrepiece the Hanging Gardens of Babylon being structurally completed on the 26 March 2020, with additional work to be completed internally. Future projects for the city include the Ishtar Gate and Tower of Babel, which to this date remain under construction.

Babylon became a member of the Oceania Realm on 29 March 2020 bringing with it other cities in the region including Pakistan, dealing a significant blow to the crumbling Ottoman Empire.

Expansion
The Babylonian city borders have gradually expanded to encompass much of Mesopotamia, with further expansion in the region planned.

Babylon also claims ownership over the Gulf of Persia, solidified by its construction of the Great Persian Gate restricting naval access into the Gulf from the east.

Diplomacy
As a member of the Oceania Realm, Babylon is allied to 15 other member towns across the world. In addition to its alliance, Babylon maintains friendly relations with several independent city states including La Romana and Geneva, the latter of which has established an embassy within the city.
