Fortress

Center of the city, head of government.   The nation of Kutsukku makes an effort to look like a oligarchic republic like many thalassocracies in the southernmost seas, and once there was a true established government, but it was dismantled when the W.Government made a play for the island. Organized crime and their wealthy backers spend their time playing politicians, but the lower classes know its a farce, and that the ruler's of the city changes hands easily.   Today, it's constantly being fought over by the families running the city.   The original walls of the Fortress had been torn down by early occupation, but Boss-oyabun Anndra a'Penrimond spend a good deal of the start of his reign reinforcing the city walls, and then rebuilding the casemate walls of the fortress at the center of Kutzk city. He spend three years - and all the good will the people had once given him - making the area a stronghold imposing enough to inspire the people to continue to resisting the W.G.   Unfortunately, not everyone was happy with the new walls - and the resources and money it took to build them - leading to a violent uprising and the rise of Boss-oyabun John MacWilliam. To draw Anndra out, John set fire to the east docks outside the new walls, completely decimating the old wooden structures, docks and most of the legit merchant fleet Kutsukku was allowed to pass the marine blockades in the open seas.       The open area around it the main markets and leisure areas of the upper class.
