Sunica
Demographics
Sunica’s demographic makeup reflects its harsh geography and reliance on the salt trade for economic survival. The population is smaller and more insular compared to other Crownland cities, with most residents having deep roots in the city. Sunica’s population is defined by its isolation, reliance on the salt trade, and its resilient spirit, with most of its people deeply connected to the land and the sea that sustains them. The ongoing tension with the natives of the Salt Islands, coupled with the city’s geographic challenges, creates a unique and complex social fabric.
Industry & Trade
Sunica's economy is heavily dependent on the trade of salt harvested from the sea known as the Great Salt, which borders the city. This valuable resource is highly sought after by other cities in the Crownlands, making it a key export for Sunica. However, the salt trade has led to tensions with the natives of the Salt Islands, who view the harvesting practices as encroaching on their territory and resources. Despite these conflicts, the salt harvest continues due to its critical importance to Sunica's economy and its desirability throughout the region.
Geography
Sunica is the southernmost city in the capital region of the Crown Lands, situated on a landform known as "The Foot" due to its resemblance to the shape of a foot, with three small offshore landmasses representing toes. The surrounding terrain is relatively barren, with few trees and little elevation beyond the mountain pass that leads to the city.
