Introduction
Eureka, officially the Kingdom of Eureka, is a European country in the northern Atlantic Ocean. It encompasses the island of Eureka and several outlying islets, most notably the Lofsöngur Islets, an autonomous province until 1992, but now a district of Eureka under the jurisdiction of Kingston. As of January 2006 Eureka had a population of 20 730 508. The capital (and largest city) is Los Acacus. Other important cities include Lysmere, Elanora, Kaolin, Port Aurora, Kingston (City) and Sudbury.
History
Districts of Eureka
Eureka consists of 9 partly self-governing districts, each with their own capital and district mayor. From west to east, the districts are: Kingston (including the Lofsöngur Islets), Acala, District of Eureka (the capital region), Evergreen, Highlands, Guinea, Lysmere Valley, Honah Lee and Akureyri.
Kingston
The district of Kingston is the most sparsely populated of them all, but ranks among the top tourists destinations in the country. Most of its land area (upwards of 90%) is part of the Kingston Grove National Park. The area is dominated by mountains, fjords and steep cliffs and is by many considered the most beautiful part of Eureka (mainly residents of the district itself, though). The capital and largest city is Kingston and the only other notable settlement is Roscow in the far north. From Roscow there are ferries to Ningaloo and other Lofsönguran islands.
Acala
Acala covers most of the western seaboard between Los Acacus and Kingston, and is one of the densest populated areas of Eureka, especially along the coast. Acala is also one of the oldest settled areas of the country, and Wapakoneta, a city in the northern part of the district, is often jokingly called the Los Acacus Junior, due to their location (both located on the northern shore of a peninsula) and similar history. The capital, Godthåb, is located further south, however, and is named after a city in Greenland of the same name.
District of Eureka
The District of Eureka (DoE, commonly refered to as the "Dooey") is the geographically smallest, though highest populated district of them all. It encompasses the city of Los Acacus, the rest of the Mayland Peninsula and a few cities further inland. Los Acacus is the capital of both the district and of the country as a whole and is the centre of what is known as "Dooeyland", the heavily urbanised area on the northern shore of the peninsula housing some 4 million people.
Evergreen
Evergreen is also known as the sunshine coast of Eureka, having the arguably best beaches nationwide. It streches over a large area of the south coast: all the way from the eastern edges of Dooeyland to the sparsely populated eastern parts of the country. The population of the district is also extremely diverse, the westerners being more cosmopolitan and closer to Los Acacus and the easternes more conservative and isolated. Some people in the western cities don't even consider themselves residents of Evergreen and see Los Acacus as their district capital rather than the actual capital, Brettsville (which is located in the far east). Evergreen is also home the third biggest city in Eureka, Subury.
Highlands
The Highlands cover most of eastern-central Eureka and has for a long time been basically a barren wasteland that people avoided at all cost. The densest populated area is the south western corner of the district, part of the dense western seaboard, but this is only a fraction of the area, and the further inland, the more remote it gets. Anadyr in northern Highlands ranks among the most isolated cities of Eureka. Also, Highlands is the district with by far the shortest coast line and is often mistaken for not having any at all. Truth is, a short stretch of some 30 km connects Acala with Guinea, giving Highlands a short, though unpopulated, coastline.
