Moroupoli

Moroupoli is a city and comune in Riova, Jochaena, famous for the Moroupoli Bazaar and modernist architecture.

History
Moroupoli is a city steeped in history, tradition and culture. Originally founded as a bustling commercial hub in the Middle Ages, it was home to many trading centers and a church. In 1770, the Moroupoli Bazaar was created and became an important landmark and center of commerce.

In the early 1900s, Moroupoli saw a decrease in trading activities, causing it to slowly fade into obscurity. However, in 1995, a devastating fire destroyed the city's church. Thanks to the efforts of Juan José Manzanedo, the building was completely rebuilt by 2011, sparking a resurgence of activity in the city. A zoo was opened and the city was modernized. Unfortunately, the collapse of the Windowist regime of Manzanedo in 2031 caused another downturn for Moroupoli and worsened living conditions until the early 2040s. During this period, the city was able to take advantage of the increasing demand for new technologies, trade and industry. A number of tech start-ups, manufacturing businesses and educational institutions opened in the city, providing employment and stimulating the local economy.

On a fateful day in 2053, a car bomb exploded in the streets of the city, killing Mayor Fazil Adamou and more than 20 innocent bystanders.

As Jochaena plummeted to war with Catruosia, tragedy struck on March 19, 2058, when the Moroupoli Bazaar was destroyed in a horrific Catruosian missile attack. Despite this setback, the city and its people persevered, and in the years since, they have worked to rebuild and revitalize Moroupoli, making it a vibrant, modern city that still holds on to its rich history and culture.

Demographics
As of 2060, the population of Moroupoli is estimated at 26462 people. Jochaenans form the majority of the population, with minorities of Hindus, Aclians, and Ucirlonians. The literacy rate in the city is 93.1%, one of the highest in Riova.
