Brief Summary
The Oan Isles is the only fully urbanised nation state in the world. Although Emberwood Coast and Tivot are fully urbanised, they are simply polities their respective ecumenical cities: Aura ans Tarov. This process of rapid urbanisation is not new. The Oan Isles' process of industrialisation was consistent for 500 years. Although countries in the west experienced a period of 150 years of invention, discovery and growth, the process had commenced earlier, but stretched longer over the Oan Isles.
The changes that were undergone were gradual. The population increased incrementally. The economic output increased incrementally. The boundaries of the urban areas were stretched over islands incrementally. Upward social mobility increased incrementally. The standard of living increased incrementally. The demand for space and resources increased incrementally. As such the long term urban planning absorbed the demographic, environmental, economic and political shock of a rapid period of accelerated industrial growth.
Although pollution, inequality and the total destruction of Oan natural forests are not trivial matters, they certaing are neither new nor shocking. The Oan Isles was able to counter these effects by mitigating some of the more immediate effects of industrialisation (and the urban development that follows): poverty, inequality, inadequate amenities to accommodate a ballooning population or uneven development. This is reflected in the modest but high standard of living, consistent density, consistent cost of living, generally even income distribution per capita between classes and cities.
