Sacoma (S-a-co-ma)
Sacoma is one of the largest trade cities in the whole world for all of its history. It was founded in 153 YBC by the Sacomian people. It is around a pennensula and a bay that brings lots of merchants into the nation. The Sacomians were one of the nations that started to be converted to Ahrum by the Lumu Missionaries.For hundreds of years the city was been its own empire and city state until the Imperium came and took over the territory. Luckily, they weren't treated as hard as some people. Sacoma however, suffered throughout the empires reign. The city of Onirod took over the trade that Sacoma was getting. When the great war happend the city was a key naval port. It was taken by the Dwarves from 872-875 YSC and during its occupation it experienced a little bit of economic growth. The city also joined Desono's rebellion in 900 YSC because of the poor conditions of the city. Now, it is one of the Capital sectors who can vote on a person they think should be emperor.
