History
The history of the city of Newport can be traced back as far as 1336 AD, when it was established as a trading port of the Chaeseong Kingdom under the name Chiong. It has thereafter been the capital of various provinces on the Newport Islands. In the Coronan Empire Era, it was called Otoño, which means Autumn, because of its orange and red landscapes during the fall seasons. After the fall of the Coronan Empire, Otoño was under the UNDER CONSTRUCTION.
20th Century
From a small trading port, the city began to show industrialization during the early 1900s. Factories started sprouting around the city as the continuous constrution of ports began around the coasts making Newport City one of the largest ports at the time. In 1906, Newport City was named "SimWorld's fastest growing metropolis" by Sim Magazine, and by 1913, the city's metro hit the population mark of 1,000,000 making it one of the largest cities in the SimWorld.
Civil War
When the Communist Republic of Newport declared war on the Republic of Newport on May 28, 2006, the city was ceded to the commies and became the national capital of Northern Newport. It was the location of the Battle of Capital Newport, the first battle of the war. It resulted in the destruction of the Peace Bridge, which was the only road bridge connecting the two large islands. At the end of the war, the South surrendered leaving the city of Newport the Communist capital city for several months.
The Great War
The City of Newport served as the national capital of the Communist Republic of Newport and the center of all propaganda during the Great War. It was destroyed by a Treiuptian missile right after the government declared war on Treiupty. The Treiuptian hydrogen bomb killed 120,000 people, the largest death toll of the whole war, and leveled the city to the ground. Newport City became the most devastated city caused by a war in history, breaking the record of the city of Chatanou, destroyed in the Newport Civil War, which is now the 2nd most devastated city in history. Newport City's destruction caused the massive reconstruction of the city, which is still undergoing.
Transportation
Air
The Newport International Airport serves Newport City and the metropolitan area. Over 20 airlines provide daily service to over 30 cities and 21 countries worldwide. Approximately 25 million travellers use the airport each year, straining what was originally a domestic airport built in the 1960s. A second terminal, Terminal 2 opened in July 2003. All airlines, exept the international flag-carrier Air Newport now use this terminal. Air Newport uses Terminal 1 exclusively for both its domestic and international service.
The main carrier serving Newport Int'l Airport is Air Newport. It has the most extensive network in Newport and also positions itself as the first true discount airline in the country.
Roads
The newly reconstructed Northern Newport Expressway (NNE) is the only fast lane highway that snakes through Newport City and the metro area. The NNE connects to the Southern Newport Expressway (SNE) through the Peace Bridge.
Subway
Newport City currently has five subway lines that interlink most districts of the city with one another and with the surrounding area. The majority of the population now uses the public transportation system due to its convenience and low cost. With more than 2 million passengers a day Newport City has one of the busiest subway systems in the SimWorld. In addition, in order to cope with all of these transportation modes, Newport City's metropolitan government employs several mathematicians to coordinate the subway, bus, and traffic schedules into one timetable.
