Fuulenland

Fullenland is a town located in the Donan County and Fullen-Ergez Municipality in south-central Gladomyr. The town is located along the Dritze River and is famous for being the birthplace of war-time Prime Minister Petter Steinback.

History
A planned city, Fullenland arose from several small farming and peat-harvesting communities which have dotted the County of Donan since the Middle Ages. Traces of these communities can still be seen in the form of the villages of Østerskov, Vindhavn and Favrbjerg: they have a separate history and layout but are surrounded by the suburbs and the center of Fullenland.

The town did not see the rapid expansion it has today until after the Second World War. Suburbs were built surrounding the old city center around 1960 starting with Fullenland-Meer directly to the north, and followed to the south-east by Fullenland-Ngslo (for which an old village of the same name was demolished), Fullenland-Hout (famed at the time for being separated from the town by an existing forest) to the east, Fullenland-Eres, the Fullenlanded and Fullenland-Sandur to the south and south-west. Construction of the last and most recent suburb, called Fullenland-Delft, is well underway with many homes already built and people living in the area.

There are few historic landmarks left within the town, but those few include the temple on the market square, where a temple has been standing since the Middle Ages, the court of law building, dating from the beginning of the twentieth century, and the childhood home of Petter Steinback. Modern art has been a recent trend within the community, with pieces such as "Everything of Nothing" by Amund Falla being bought and installed in 2012.

In 1987, the town held the 1987 Woman's Kommell-Golf Tournament.

Fullenland experienced its largest economic boost from the childhood home, now a museum, of the war-time leader Petter Steinback. Also in the town center is the Fullenland-Ergez Zoo The zoo was begun in 1953 just one year prior to the war. Due to this, the zoo wasn't started again until 1977 where it was completed in 1984. The two attractions in total host over 3 million visitors a year.

The town has been undergoing an extensive and extreme change to become a 100% pollution free city starting in 2000. Since this, Pfuffenland is now the 7th greenest city in Gladomyr. Extensive wind farms and water mills line the city boundaries and the Dritze River.

During the Salian occupation of Gladomyr during the latter half of the Second World War, Fullenland was inhabited by approximately 2,000 Salish soldiers. The rail station, Pfuffen-Rail, was a stop-over point for Salish soldiers being transported between Lisaare and Võsalu.

During the 10 June conflict, Fullenland notably saw one of the highest turnouts in protests, most likely because of its history of being the birthplace of Steinback.

Geography
The town is centered on the Dritz River, with the main city center being location on an island in the river. Fullenland is located right on the line of the "Penguinnes Transition", the transition between plains and flatlands and mountainous, rugged terrain.

West of the town is Lamont Hill, a circular glacial erratic rock located within a forest. Surrounding the township is the Fullenland Forest.

Larmackyile Lake is located 2 kilometers south of the town. The lake is the 13th largest lake in Gladomyr.

Demographics
Fullenland is home to 96,364 people, with 48% being women and 52% men. The town is 74% Myrish, with the remaining 26% are either Salian, Ordrish, or Ecoralian immigrants.

Compared to some 3,000 inhabitants in the nineteenth century, this illustrates Fullenland's rapid growth in the past 150 years.

Attractions
The most famous attractions in Fullenland are the childhood home of Petter Steinback, as well as his resting place, and also the Fullenland-Ergez zoo. These two attractions hosted a peak of 5.1 million tourists in 2017. Because of this, art, cafe's, hotels, and other similar attractions have been built in the city center. In the Fullenland rail station, LED screens line the walls and ceilings and display abstract, modern moving art. The displayed art is often soothing, with an ambient tone being played in addition to this. Modern art has also been put on display on the town's main-street, and canoe tours are also popular. Tourism is Fullenland's main industry.

River cruises on the Dritz River starting in Võsalu often pass through Fullenland, making draw-bridges mandatory on roads crossing the river. These cruises do not commonly make stops at Fullenland, although the town still has a port for the uncommon stop.

In 2019, a river boat ran into a drawbridge after a malfunction in the draw-bridge's machinery. No one was hurt.

Transportation
Fullenland is a stop on the E line in the national rail system. The railway connects the town to Võsalu and Dincuff. In addition to this, there is also a small port along the Dritz River.

In the quest to be pollution free, the town has outlawed cars in several parts of the city, with the bicycle being the preferred method of travel within the town. Because of this, bicycle lanes take precedence over both roads and pedestrian sidewalks. Another common way of travel in the town is by horse-drawn carriage.
