Notable cities in Mennowa

Minneuka County: Charlesworth (CW, 43) • Population: 1,367,200 (4,502,890 in metro) Loading map... {"tileLayer":"//{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png","attribution":"\u0026copy; \u003Ca href=\"http://osm.org/copyright\"\u003EOpenStreetMap\u003C/a\u003E contributors","center":{"lat":-37.901,"lon":148.973},"zoom":"9","maxzoom":"14","minzoom":"7"} Minneuka, locally often nicknamed "M'uka" or "Mooka," is the largest city in Mennowa and the principal city of the state's largest metropolitan area. Minneuka had a population of 1,367,200 in the 2020 census, and the entire metro area in Mennowa alone had a population of 4,502,890. The Minneuka area continues across the Alormen River into Gnaerey. Minneuka sits at a moderately shallow cataract of the Alormen River, a few miles downstream of the confluence with the Mennowa River and near the confluence of the Witch River. The riverbend at Minneuka was an important portage point in low water and originally controlled by Mennowee tribes. In 1685, missionaries of the Alexandrine Order sailed north, down the Alormen River and contacted the local tribes. The Alexandrines facilitated in the establishment of a fort and permanent settlement. Minneuka became an important trading post and portage point on the Alormen River when the Federal States purchased the territory. It was also an important crossroads for easterners in their settlement of the prairie. The city grew quickly after statehood, being one of the first cities west of the Alormen to reach 100,000 and one million residents. Minneuka ultimately reached one million residents in 1920, peaking at 1.53 million people in 1970. In the 1920s, however, ethnic and social-class divisions prompted numerous suburbs to resist annexation or consolidation. The urban—suburban rivalry, competition for regional jobs, industrial downsizing, and continued suburban demand caused Minneuka to show signs of urban decay during the late 20th century. This was particularly noteworthy in some neighborhoods northwest and east of downtown. The city declined in population to 1.2 million in 2000, but it has partially rebounded since as regional relations normalized in the 2000s and the city promoted vacant areas for immigrant-centered development. Minneuka is a port on the Alormen River, which is part of the largest combined waterway in the Federal States (Alormen–Grand Lakes). The city anchors the largest regional economy in the heartland, which has diversified from its origins as entrepôt and foodstuffs to include banking, chemicals, machine manufacturing, and academia. A significant cultural center in its own right, Minneuka is known for its contributions to fine arts, architecture, urban design, and athletics. Minneuka has worked hard to restore its historic venues, from theatres to competition facilities. It hosted the second ever global Pax Nova Summer Games in 1964. The city has a diverse culture, led by its notable Mennowee population. The city also has significant populations from southwestern Uletha (particularly Mauretia and Kalkara) and an increasing number of immigrant families from Kojo. Five non-Ingerish newspapers are based in the city.

Des Nonnes County: Alexandrine (AX, 28) • Population: 717,500 (1,397,570 in metro) Loading map... {"tileLayer":"//{s}.tile.openstreetmap.org/{z}/{x}/{y}.png","attribution":"\u0026copy; \u003Ca href=\"http://osm.org/copyright\"\u003EOpenStreetMap\u003C/a\u003E contributors","center":{"lat":-38.21,"lon":145.837},"zoom":"9","maxzoom":"14","minzoom":"7","layers":"+Standard","overlays":"+19,+27,28,29,36","overlaydef":"{\n \"19\": {\"function\": \"boundaryRelation\", \"param\": [108241, {\"weight\": 2, \"fillColor\": \"green\", \"color\": \"green\", \"fillOpacity\": 0.2, \"opacity\": 1, \"fillInterior\": true}]},\n \"27\": {\"function\": \"boundaryRelation\", \"param\": [108235, {\"weight\": 2, \"fillColor\": \"green\", \"color\": \"green\", \"fillOpacity\": 0.2, \"opacity\": 1, \"fillInterior\": true}]},\n \"28\": {\"function\": \"boundaryRelation\", \"param\": [108234, {\"weight\": 2, \"fillColor\": \"green\", \"color\": \"green\", \"fillOpacity\": 0.2, \"opacity\": 1, \"fillInterior\": true}]},\n \"29\": {\"function\": \"boundaryRelation\", \"param\": [108233, {\"weight\": 2, \"fillColor\": \"green\", \"color\": \"green\", \"fillOpacity\": 0.2, \"opacity\": 1, \"fillInterior\": true}]},\n \"36\": {\"function\": \"boundaryRelation\", \"param\": [108224, {\"weight\": 2, \"fillColor\": \"green\", \"color\": \"green\", \"fillOpacity\": 0.2, \"opacity\": 1, \"fillInterior\": true}]}\n}"} Des Nonnes is the second largest city in Mennowa and the largest in the western part of the state. Des Nonnes had a population of 717,500 in the 2020 census; the entire metro area, which spans five counties, has a population of 1,896,340. Des Nonnes sits on the Des Nonnes River, at the confluence of the La Croix and Mississaukee Rivers. The city marks the furthest navigable point inland on the river for modern river shipping, although personal craft have navigability further north to Ryle. The land was originally inhabited by Shaunasee tribes. Missionaries of the Alexandrine Order and their adjacents established the settlement in 1701. It became a regional religious center for the newly converted Shaunasee tribes, who made peace with their coreligionists among the Mennowee tribes further east. The city was the site of a violent battle, however, between the new Christic-oriented tribes and those that retained native practices. When the Federal States purchased the Shaunasee lands, they worked to remove the non-Christic tribes from the area. Many Christic Shaunasee were caught in this, creating hostilities between some eastern settlers and natives. As a result, many non-Ortholic and non-Alexandrine groups avoided settlement around Des Nonnes until after Mennowa was granted statehood. Even then, settlement was slow. Des Nonnes sat at an important transit point between the river and railroads, so the city did begin to grow in the late 1860s. By 1970, the city reached 500,000 residents. Des Nonnes is a major regional rail hub, and much of the agriculture from the region passes through the city. Agribusiness and foodstuffs are major industries. The city famously produced refrigerated rail cars in its early years, and it is still known for innovations in this technology. Similarly, ethanol production has grown in the last few decades. The city is also notable for healthcare and boasts three major medical schools. Two of the schools were established by religious mission, and the city's academic core is driven by three Christic universities. The culture of Des Nonnes is dominated by the religious history of the city, the Shaunasee–Mennowee cultural continuum, and immigration from some areas of Western Uletha during the early twentieth century. The city has a large Plevian-Archantan community that has produced numerous famous persons across cultural fields. There are also notable Mallyoran and Drabantian communities in the city. These communities do attract recent immigrants, but they primarily descend from those migrating to the prairie during the first half of the twentieth century. Later communities of those from Egani, Florescenta, Izaland, Kojo, and Mauretia have arrived since the Pax Nova began after the Great War.

Note: All counties in Mennowa are known by two reference codes, a two-letter alphabetic code and a two-digit numeric code. The alphabetic code is the primary means of identifying counties in the state and goes back to the late 1800s. License plates, official documents, civil forms, and even road department signs use the two-letter code. The numeric code was created in the 1940s to conform to federal numeric designations for places. The numeric codes were drafted from south to north and west to east. They are most commonly found as the first two digits of the postal code in the state. For example, ME-4700 is found in Templin County (47), and ME-66Y2 is found in Jackson County (66).

Mennowa State Trunkline Highway System

The network of state-jurisdiction highways in Mennowa was official established by the state government with the Roadway and Trunkline Act in 1918. This system is the successor to the short-lived Intercounty Roadway System that had been established back in 1909 to oversee major market roads in the state. Many of these former market roads are still locally known by their once-official names. For example, the stretch of M-54 between Valoria and Mercy Tree is still called the Franklin Highway, which was its designation from 1910 until being replaced by a numerical reference marker in 1920.

The Roadway and Trunkline Act gave the Mennowa Roadway Commission (predecessor to the Mennowa Transportation Bureau) broad control over setting up an organized and efficient highway classification system. By this point, the network of named market roads, local municipalities, and even associations of private or corporate interests had banded together to form early motor roads in the state. The market roads had minimum standards but were not well marked along the roads themselves outside of towns. The local names were often unknown outside of the immediate region and were thus inefficient for long-range travel. Many of the early motor roads were even more irregularly marked, and standards were nonexistent. When the state took over the market roads and intercounty connections in 1919, then–Roadway Commissioner Felix Randally laid out the first iteration of a numbering scheme, set to work improving roads, and chartering new highways. With the passage of the Mennowa Motor Road Act in 1920, he also took control over the early motor roads, throwing the weight of the state behind the initiative and setting basic standards. These routes were subsumed into the numbered highway system but retained motor road designations. The highway numbering system went through a major renumbering in 1931 and a major expansion in 1962 that resulted in a few renumberings. Despite the changes, the majority of state highways are the same as was found in the 1931 renumbering.

Roads added to the state trunkline highway system in the 1920s were set to basic standards, all of which have evolved over time from gravel roads with soft shoulders to minimum pavement depths, shoulder width, and minimum turn radii. Commissioner Randally used a simple square with a number in it to indicate the highway along the roadside. According to the story he recalled, he saw a bent sign while inspecting a new highway in Templin County. The upper left and lower right corners had been damaged in high winds, and he thought the sign looked like a leaf. Thinking it was creative and reflective of agriculture (farm-to-market highways), the state transitioned to the leaf-shaped shield for state highways in the 1931 renumbering.

Unlike most states, Mennowa's highways are known in common language with the "M" prefix as "M-n." Following the 1931 renumbering, the state has four classifications of its trunkline roadways: primary, secondary, tertiary, and temporary. The difference in these is standards of engineering and design, connectivity, length, and purpose.

• Primary Trunklines: Primary Trunklines (original and supplemental) must conform to the highest standard of design and engineering. As a result, these roads are highly improved and all-season. In some cases, portions of Primary Trunklines were decomissioned or renumbered to avoid upkeep of standards or being deemed no longer as essential to the state network of market roads.
  • Routes 1–10 are classified as "diagonal" routes, meaning that they are (or were) major state thoroughfares that did not often fit neatly into a cohesive numbering scheme. All but M-9 were numbered as they are presently even before the 1931 renumbering scheme.
  • Routes 11–99 are arranged in a general pattern, wherein even numbers are generally aligned east–west in orientation, and odd numbers are generally aligned north–south. The numbers are lowest closest to the Alormen River and Lake Leighton and highest on the high prairie.
  • Routes 101–199 and 200–299 are a class of Supplemental Primary Trunklines. These routes can be major routes in their own right, but they are numbered as offshoots of a two-digit highway.
• Secondary Trunklines: Routes 301–399, 401–499, and 501–599 are a class of Secondary Trunklines. These routes are state highways that have a lower level of standards but are controlled and maintained by the state. In practice, most drivers never notice a difference between primary and secondary classifications of highways. Generally, these routes are shorter, and serve as farm-to-market connections for smaller communities. When this classification was added in the 1962 update, about five dozen highways were renumbered into the 300s.
• Tertiary Trunklines: These are routes in the ranges 601–699 (bypass routes), 701–799 (spur and connector routes), and 801–899 (link routes). Despite being in a tertiary class, bypass routes must conform to the standards of Primary Trunklines. Other tertiary routes have the standards of secondary highways but are otherwise capped at a length of no greater than 10 miles. Many times, spur/connector and link routes are old alignments of state highways that are still deemed important to the network as farm-to-market roads. In some cases, these routes exist because Mennowa tries to connect any incorporated municipality over 1,000 people not immediately adjacent to another municipality to a state highway.
• Temporary Trunklines: Routes with the designation 901–999 are temporary designations and are only subject to state jurisdiction when activated. Most recently, M-990 was created on paved county roads as a three-mile bypass of a portion of M-90 that had been damaged in flooding of the Alormen River. The state paid for minor upgrades to the roads and reimbursed Nenninshire County for the right to "lease" the road while M-90 was being rebuilt.

It should also be noted that Mennowa does allow for counties to sign routes with four digit numbers on the "leaf"-shaped shield with conditions attached, but these are not part of the state system. Only three counties have opted to do this.

An oddity of the Mennowa State Trunkline Highway System is its inclusion of "commercial maritime highways" directly into the network as a fifth classification of trunklines. As part of these maritime highways, the state contributes to the maintenance of shipping lanes, navigability for small craft (less than 66ft LWL), and select access points. Recreational rivers designed for small craft vessels and recreational vessels (less than 26ft LWL) are the responsiblity of other state departments. The commerical maritime highways are numbered as 0 and spurs accordingly. Vehicular disembarkment points along these maritime highways are in fact signed with the state highway shield. Roads leading to ports and other maritime connections do periodically include road signs that say with the "TO" sign and the shield for the maritime route.

Mennowa State Historic Motor Roads

With the passage of the Motor Road Act in 1920, the state assumed responsibility over the national motor trails that had started to form in the state through regional and private initiatives. The act was controversial in the state, as there was fear that the state government would not uphold its responsibilities in ways that collections of private interests had in a few cases. While there were three motor trail associations that were successful, well financed, and effective, the other nine at the time were disorganized, unfinanced, and erratically put together. Although the state assumed control over the motor roads, the three effective organizations were retained in an advisorial role for nearly 20 years: Alexandrine Trail, Leighton Post Motor Road, and the Sullivan's Trace.

With the weight of the state government behind it, then–Roads Commissioner Felix Randally invested heavily in the idea of motor trails. He wanted this to be the backbone of the system in such a large state and the starting-point focus to ensure that rural areas were not being neglected in favor of urban areas. The state was an early leader in assigning motor trails in the Federal States, with promises from neighboring states to participate. Although most neighboring states neglected to participate in the motor trails initiative, Mennowa went ahead with them and improved those roads quickly.

Although Mennowa had adopted a numerical numbering system for its highways, the motor road network was retained as a concurrent system. The reason for this was that most of the historical motor roads were important interstate routes in their own right but were comprised of more than one numerical route number within the state. By having both systems, important regional routes were prioritized numerically, while the motor roads overlaid important interstate routes on top of the new system.

By the time the Federal States Motorway System was being constructed in Mennowa, the motor trail network was largely being viewed as obselete nationwide. Because Mennowa's numbered highways system had existed concurrently with the motor road designations through the 1960s, rural leaders in the state were unwilling to see the motor trail system retired. They pushed for it to exist, even if it meant being signed on roads that were no longer under state jurisdiction. In some cases at the present time, the old motor trail only exists on county or city-maintained roads. The state helps pay for signage upkeep in these situations but otherwise provides no special funds to maintain the road apart from grants given for all types of infrastructure improvements.

With rare exceptions, the motor trails are still fully signed across the state. Guide signs on the Federal States motorways typically omit them to avoid "clutter" per national standards, but supplemental directional signs may appear near the exit ramp itself. The shield that developed for the motor trails in Mennowa stemmed from a white rectangle being painted on utility poles or other basic signs, with a two-letter abbreviation for the motor trail. By 1940, the state had begun adding a white triangle adjacent to the white rectangle that pointed upward. This was done to signify 'continuing straight ahead.' By 1960, the "house" shape was the standard, as the triangular "arrow" never caught on as a directional marker. In the 1980s, signs were gradually updated to include the circle of stars from the flag of the Federal States at the apex of the shield. This has been the standard since 1984.

Administrative divisions of Mennowa

Administrative divisions:

• County (admin_level=6): All parts of Mennowa are included in a county area regardless of if preserve land or indigenous-managed land
  • Townships (admin_level=7): All unincorporated parts of a county are comprised of townships to provide local management; basic council-lead governments with few responsibilities and privileges
  • Cities (admin_level=8): Incorporated cities are self-governing entities within the state that must have an executive (mayor) and have certain responsibilities and privileges; city limits may not cross county boundaries as of 1955 to hem in Minneuka from spreading into Hogan County
  • Towns (admin_level=8): Incorporated towns contiguous portions of townships that reach certain population thresholds and therefore incorporate or are rump portions of former townships that incorporated to stave off annexation; council governments with a few more responsibilities and privileges than townships but not nearly to the level of cities
  • Villages (admin_level=8): Incorporated villages are not fully self-governing entities but have an executive (mayor or manager) but are administratively only partially separated from their respective township; the township exercises some control over the village on select affairs but villages share in the township's rights and responsibilities in a symbiotic manner
  • Dissolved villages (none): Former villages that were dissolved for various reasons and are now solely part of the township; they remain historical placenames and often are seen on signs as "former village" or "historic village"

School districts: Although very few differences remain between the four types of school districts, the historic names are retained in most areas. School district distinctions were wiped away with the reorganization and consolidation of school districts in 1967.

• Area school districts: Rural districts that have an incorporated population center as its key community but unable to be supported by that community itself; must cover more than 40 square miles and provide bussing for all students over one mile from the educational facility but with costs of transportation offset by the state; may tax agricultural and industrial output with a mileage instead of land or property value
• Community school districts: (Sometimes, "City" school districts) Urban and suburban districts, generally with a population of greater than 25,000, that are funded in part by the primary community within the district; land area outside the community must not exceed 60% of the school district's habitable land (parklands and certain other features are excluded)
• Consolidated school districts: Formed from the consolidation of two or more districts, consolidated districts are designed to have provide a balance between area and community schools for more rural environments; these districts function like community school districts but must meet certain requirements for rural students; in suburban areas, "consolidated community" districts are community districts formed through consolidation but do not need to meet certain rural requirements
• Rural school consortia: The rarest of district type, the consortia is a collection of smaller facilities in a district structure with limited overhead and administration; these are found in extremely rural areas where single-building schools or even smaller schoolhouses still dot the landscape

Religious affiliation (out-of-universe perspective): Simple listing of religious denominational groupings (not specific denomination organizations) as used in Mennowa. This list is not official or canonical and is simply provided after being asked by a couple of people to have a reference point.

Out of respect for denominations and churches, usage is generally intended to reflect broad strokes and not exactly mimic a particular group or denomination type. The purpose of this list is just for me to keep track of potential origination points for settlers that came to the Mennowan prairie as part of the state's Midwestern US theme and not to have fights about religious matters. (Hence why I don't particularly care if others elect to use different terms.) Not all possible groups are represented at this time. If this list becomes controversial or a problem, I will scrub it altogether.

• sabbatarian: Churches intended to invoke sabbatarian denominations and groups that worship on Saturday and is not exclusive to a particular sabbatarian group in the United States. Most churches have "Sabbatarian" in their name.
• uniting: Churches intended to invoke ecumenical and uniting movements that were common in the mid-twentieth century. Churches often have "United Church" or "Unity Church" in their name. It is not related to unitarianism.
• independent: Churches that are independent organizationally but part of a movement of like-minded independent churches akin to Churches of Christ and similar movements.
• nonconformist: A small collection of churches that do not fit denominational grouping or even some tenants of orthodoxy and embrace the outsider status. The name "nonconformist" is almost never in the church name.
• nondenominational: Generic term for nondenominational churches (a rare misnomer, in fact) and retained due to its generic naming.

Other religions are present and will be mapped, particularly in the larger metropolitan areas.
