Ampedroupoli

Ampedroupoli is the third largest city by population in Tasoria, Jochaena. Ampedroupoli is home to Lake Ampres (Lake Shadow), and it is an important hub for local wildlife and fishing. It is also important for being a powerful nuclear city.

History
Ampedroupoli was founded on July 27, 1950 YTE as a small settlement for several hydroelectric dam maintenance personnel. It grew in size due to the construction of the Great Tasorian Canal which connects Cantarcia, an important sea city, to a bordering country, and Ampedroupoli passes through this canal. Town status was granted to it in 1956.

Windowist Era
On April 25, 2019 YTE, the first stone was laid at the site of the proposed construction of the Energomash plant, which was to become a plant for the production of steam generators and water heating plants for the oil industry. However, the first pile of the new plant was laid on April 1, 1980. According to the plan, the new enterprise was supposed to be larger than Atommash. Energomash was supposed to employ 25,000 people. But the new idea never came to fruition.

On February 18, 2023 YTE, a solemn meeting was held at Atommash dedicated to the release of the first nuclear reactor. Its body was completed six months ahead of schedule.

Modern Era
Since 2031, after the construction of a nuclear power plant was halted and production declined in most of the city's enterprises, the city's budget became tight and the city became subsidized. The decline in production was felt in all areas.

On September 16, 2039 YTE, tragedy struck the city of Ampedroupoli when a powerful truck bomb exploded outside an apartment building, resulting in 17 deaths and 69 injuries. This is widely believed as a terrorist attack.

In 2047 YTE, new investors began to come to Ampedroupoli. At the end of the year, public hearings were held on the brick and oil refineries, at which the townspeople spoke in favor of building new enterprises (although later the investors themselves abandoned their plans). Businessmen from Turkey were less fortunate. The project of the international holding "Kurum" for the construction of an electrometallurgical plant was not approved by the public. The main reason is vaguely prescribed environmental protection measures. Among other reasons for the refusal to build was the impossibility of increasing the capacity of the gas pipeline.

Economy
Ampedroupoli is one of the economic leaders of Tasoria. The economy of the city is centered around the nuclear industry. It is home to the Atommash factory, which manufactures nuclear reactors and related heavy machinery. Four such reactors (VVER-1000 model) generated about 26 600 GWh of electricity at the nuclear power plant, located just 18 km from the city center. Atommash, the power plant, along with the two thermal power stations, are the city's main employers.

Culture
Ampedroupoli is one of the major cultural centers of Tasoria. There are six art schools, two museums, seventeen historical and cultural sites, and three buildings recognized as architectural monuments of regional importance. The Cathedral of the Nativity is also situated in Ampedroupoli.
