List of cities in the Oan Isles
The following is a list of the cities in The Oan Isles.
Port of the Rock
The Port of the Rock is located on the southern part of the Rock Island. It is the most populated city in the Oan Isles. It has a population of approximately 12 million people. Many of them are ethnic Oan people, who speak the Oan language and profess the Polynesian tradition of the Protestant branch of the Christian religion. The city is known for its relatively high crime rate (although it remains commendably low on international terms), income inequality and acute poverty.
It has a GDP of 456 billion SHD and a GDP per capita of 38,000 SHD. It generates most of its money from shipping, shipbuilding, retail, logistics, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, electronics, consumer goods, machinery and fuel refining. It is the largest and busiest container port in the south Pacific. As it lies at the mouth of the Caven Sea, it links the Pacific and Packilvanian Oceans. It is at the centre of the Oan industrial apparatus. It is the headquarters of the Oan Industrial and Commercial Bank, a major financer of Oan industry.
It is very heavily urbanised, experiencing traffic delays, refuse collection, water and sewerage management, electricity supply and fuel availability problems. Its prominence in the Economy of The Oan Isles can be attributed to its strategic position and vast entrepreneurial muscle. It is a major centre of Oan art and culture, and is the core of urban culture such as pop and hip hop music, street and abstract art, street theatre and modern architecture.
La Rochelle
La Rochelle is located in the northern part of the Rock Island, in the caldera of an extinct super volcano and is attributed as the core of the Polynesian civilisation. It is the second largest city in the Oan Isles with a population of 8 million people. Unlike Port of the Rock which has a younger population, La Rochelle has a fairly older median population. It is the home of the University of La Rochelle and the National University of the Oan Isles. It is the home of the Metatron Corporation and the Standard National Bank. It is the home of one of the largest repositories of artefacts in the world: the Tamasitanuanu Institute.
It is at the centre of the Politics of the Oan Isles. It is the official residence of the Emperor of Polynesia. It is the seat of the National Assembly. It is the seat of all ambassadorial diplomatic missions to the Oan Isles. It is the home of the Rock Provincial Government. It is one of the most expensive places in the world to live with a cappuccino costing 8 SHD on average. It has one of the highest property prices in the world with 20,000 SHD for 1 square metre.
It has a GDP of 368 billion dollars and a GDP per capita of 46,000 SHD. It has an economy built on the government, financial services, information technology, tourism, retail, logistics, luxury goods, light manufacturing and other services. Most manufacturing moved to the Port of the Rock over the past few decades. Unlike other major Oan cities, it does not sit on the coast, but is encamped by the Encampment Mountains. It is a jewel of the Oan "Greenification" policy, with 4 million trees planted in the past six decades.
