Cardiff

Cardiff, or Caerdydd, is a suburban vassal state to Montego Bay. The ownership is split between both Edgewurth (whom has the majority 75%) and Felipe98_ (whom has the minority 25%), and managed by Edgewurth.

Concepts
The origins of Cardiff can be found in renovation plans for Cytra City and Acacia Creek, plus the former suburbs of Cape Coral, in that Cape Coral's suburbs were originally going to be designed to be older style housing, but was sold by Edgewurth in 2019. Cytra City and Acacia Creek were intended to be more modern with a British Twist, something which would inevitably fail due to new city tier rules, supermagicalplay leaving HelloMiners, and Edgewurth struggling to get a footing on renovating due to players breaking eyesore rules constantly.

Thus, he sold the two cities and had land regions created on an island, both to reserve a location and name before moving it to it's current location. Most of the city center layout would be improvised, with the north of the river being fully planned and completed within a month. The construction would take over a year, starting in June 2021, and ending in August 2022.

Cardiff would also join Montego Bay as a vassal state, in order to both reap the benefits and also allow Edgewurth to remain part of Montego Bay. As part of this, an new expansion to the north would be planned, to contain a university (and stadium), as well as a manor for Edgewurth (as mandatory for Montego Bay nobility), along the riverbanks. New townhouses would also be built as part of this expansion.

Creation of the Thornhill District
In 2023, it was decided by Edgewurth, the main owner, and manager of Cardiff, and agreed with Felipe98_, the Montego Bay and co-owner of Cardiff to create a major block of the city dedicated to a university. Originally, it was designed to only feature a university building, however later Edgewurth decided to include a stadium which would also double as a study space in the city.

It was decided that this, plus a mix of affordable rental and sell-able housing, would make up this district, which prospective name was to be Thornhill.

Conceptualization of the Second Expansion
Edgewurth would begin brainstorming ideas for the future of Cardiff in terms of expansions in February 2023, with ideas such as a harbour in the south of the river, containing mainly shops and a plaza standing in as a park, and in the north having primarily hill-side housing.

The expansion on the south of the river will take-up the majority of the landmass, being named Sovereign Harbour, whereas the north will primarily serve as a expansion of the Pontypridd and Thornhill districts.

Districts
There are three districts in Cardiff, those being:
 * Cardiff Central
 * Pontypridd
 * Thornhill
