Maopolis
Demographics
Maopolis is extremely cosmopolitan and has a broad cross-section of all human, and humanoid subtypes represented in it. There is even a thriving extra-planar community.
Government
Like the rest of the Magi Republic, Maopolis is ruled by an elected council of magic-users.
Defences
Maopolis is nestled in the valley between four large mountains, and the roads up to it, by necessity, are narrow and winding. The mountains, and roads are ringed with tall, fortified watchtowers. The roads are narrow enough to negate the numbers of a large invading force and they're winding enough to slow it down. This turns these same roads into killing fields when the city needs to defend itself. As a result of this Maopolis has no walls and only a modestly sized garrison to defend it.
Infrastructure
Maopolis is built around a mostly intact High Elf city that provides work and living spaces for a great many people, but the city itself sprawls around those ruins. Dozens and dozens of towers climb into the sky far higher than mundane construction techniques could get them, and several platforms carrying the estates of wealthy families orbit the city. Water is brought into the city through a large aqueduct that collects melt from a nearby glacier as well as many dozens of springs throughout the valley.
