| - Statesport is the most populous city in the Republic of Atlion and the center of business for the state of Broker and the country. The city is referred to as the City of Statesport and still, but not commonly, known by its historical name of State's Port. Being the "business capital" of Atlion, Statesport significantly impacts the commerce, finance, entertainment and education sectors of the country. Several multinational and local corporations' head offices are located in the city, including EcruGroup, NAME, NAME and NAME, while other corporations such as the Ashford Corporation have large offices. The city, which consists of its own metropolitan area and does not include other settlements, has the largest population in Broker and Atlion, standing at approximately 8,750,000 permanent residents. The city consists of ten districts, each having one member on the Statesport City Assembly (from west to east) - Wilshire, Kings, Financial District, Uptown, Queens, Richmond, Downtown, Midtown, Cityside and Rockefeller. The bulk of Statesport's population is located on the four highly urbanized islands in the northernmost corner of the Bay of Kennsley. Statesport traces its history back to DATE, when the English from the south settled the area, knowing it was the end of the Bay of Kennsley. The city was originally known as New Cambridge, named in DATE. "State's Port" became the city's name when King DERP dedicated the city to his late friend Lord William State, who was Royal Governor of New Cambridge at the time of his death. Throughout history, millions of immigrants from Europe and Africa came to Statesport. Some speculate this is the reason for the city's large population. Approximately 30 million tourists visit Statesport annually. Several surveys have shown that these are mostly business-related visits, but because of Statesport's iconic districts and landmarks, as well its beauty (such as Mount Superior acting as a background to the city), Statesport is also a popular recreational destination. The city became a target of the international community in October 2001, one month after the attacks on the United States East Coast, when terrorists, riding a Statesport Metrorail train, detonated a large bomb in the subway station of the Metropolis International Hotel and Conference Center, killing 345 people and wounding 1,456.
