Metropolis Union

The Metropolis Union (or MU) was a large union of cities scattered around the North, West and South parts of the continent. Its administrative and economic capital was Starlight City. Throughout its existence, it was the unofficial center of the continent, featuring the Towny spawn and important locations such as the UN headquarters.

The union was a constitutional republic, and had 8 member states out of which 7 are cities. Each city had its designated territory and the entire nation worked as a parliamentary system.

Leaders of cities would get elected democratically, through various elections. If elected leaders don't do well, they would usually be eventually removed from office, although an instance of this never happened.

The MU's official military was the Grand Army of the Union.

Member cities include:
 * Starlight City
 * Nightshade
 * Moonville
 * Greendale
 * Lakechester
 * North Springs
 * Drybourgh
 * East Coast

History
The Metropolis Union was created somewhere around December 2019, or approximately 35th Towny year. It was originally made to unite Starlight, Nightshade, Moonville and North Springs into a single governed republic that would rival rising foreign nations such as Arstotzka, GUSAC and Arbat. Starlight City, which up until this point served as the capital of Towny, was - obviously - chosen as the capital city and main administrative region.

The original leader of the MU was Ataru, but was replaced by AndrejFish_ after he was elected on 12th January 2020. Andrej remained as the nation's president until its dissolvement.

Over time, 5 new member states joined the union out of which four were semi-independent cities.

On 26th of March 2020, through an independence referendum, Harristown officially left the union and became an independent nation. This made the total number of member states 8.

Following the Cold War and the Great Towny Depression, the MU was dissolved on the 7th of April 2020.
