-	'''City of Nemonos:''' The State of Nemonos is a state located along the western Shores of [[Lake Nemonos]] in the Midwestern United States. The state is named after its largest City, [[Nemonos City]], which is in turn named after the [[Nemon River]] which runs West-East through the state into Lake Nemonos. The population, according to the 2007 census, is 1,000,754. Nemonos is the 51st State to join the Union having been cut out of the State of Iowa in an act of Congress on Dec 1, 2007.	+	==History==
		+	Nemonos City was founded in 1960 as a utopian escape from the sprawling cities elsewhere in the US. This did not last long as market forces soon resulted in Nemonos moving to a more traditional style of urban development. The creation of the Nemonos Regional Transportation Authority in the early 1960s resulted in an extensive expressway network that further propelled development outwards.
-	== History ==	+	In 2007, the City of Nemonos changed its name to Nemonos City to avoid conflict with the State of Nemonos. Also in 2007, Nemonos City merged with the adjacent city of Maple Heights to form a larger more efficient municipal organization.
-	=== Early times ===	+
-	Nemonos, then a part of Iowa, was a site of heavy logging during the settlement of the American Midwest in the 1800s. After most of the trees were removed attempts to farm the area were met with failure as the soil was too poor and rocky. As a result, the area returned to a forested state until urban development began in the 1950s-1960s.	+
		+	== Metropolitan Area ==
		+	[[Image:Nemonos_metro_area_sat.jpg|thumb|right|245px|Nemonos Metro Area]]
		+	The Nemonos Metropolitan Area is large sprawling urban agglomeration that surrounds Nemonos City. Covering 3 counties, the metropolitan area is composed of 24 individual municipalities. The total population of the area is 826,096. The average population density across the metro area is 6,884/ sq km. This contrasts sharply with the density of Nemonos City proper and reflects the low density sprawl nature of the region.
-	=== Settlement ===	+	== Economy ==
-	Beginning in the 1950s suburban growth in most major American cities commenced in earnest. There were some who felt this was the wrong direction for cities to go and began a movement to build a 'better city'. This movement eventually resulted in the founding of the [[Nemonos City|City of Nemonos]] in 1960. The city was built along the shores of Lake Nemonos at the mouth of the Nemon River. This was felt to be an optimal site for both industrial expansion as well as for transportation.	+	Nemonos City's economy is primarily service based. Downtown Nemonos City is home to numerous large financial companies. South Nemonos has a significant industrial sector, but this has been shrinking as industry moves out of the central core to the suburbs.
-	=== Urban Expansion ===	+	== Airport ==
-	Nemonos City grew quickly due to its prime location. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway to Lake Nemonos resulted in significant port related developments in the region. Major port construction began in the 1970s with the Port of Nemonos and again in the 1990s with the Port of Sunset Beach. Oil Refining became a major industry in the region during this period with the construction of the enormous [[Martinsdale Oil Refinery]].	+	Nemonos City is served by 2 airports. Nemonos-Headwaters International Airport is the main airport and handles the vast majority of all air travel into and out of the region. The smaller, and older, Douglas MacDonald Airport in [[Cairn]] is smaller and is primarily used by the US Air Force.
		+	== Education ==
		+	Nemonos City has a highly regarded public school system. It is one of the best funded and highest ranked school systems in an inner city in the US. The area is also served by several campuses of the University of Nemonos. Downtown Nemonos City is also home to the largest library in the State, the Nemonos Metropolitan Library.
-	=== Push for Statehood ===	+	== Culture ==
-	Beginning around the turn of the 21st century a growing divide within the Iowa state government over the Nemonos' place. Culturally very distinct from the rest of Iowa, Nemonos, state reps frequently clashed with others for the rest of the state. In 2007 the statehood movement took to the mainstream in Nemonos and rallied the US congress to pass a bill that would cede the Nemonos-Headwaters Region from the state of Iowa and form a new independent state. The bill was passed with near unanimity on November 24th, 2007 in all levels of the US Government.	+	[[Image:Nemonos_Botanical_Gardens.jpg|thumb|left|275px|Nemonos Botanical Gardens.]]

-	=== State of Nemonos ===	+	== Sports ==
-	The first elections of the new state were held on December 1, 2007. The Democratic Party won the majority of seats in the State House of Representatives and State Senate. The capital was established as [[Fairfax, Nemonos]], then a small city in Riverton County. The government quickly established a presence and the city grew rapidly to become the 2nd most populous in the state, behind Nemonos City. Currently the state is dealing with issues ranging from uncontrolled suburban expansion of the Nemonos Metropolitan Area to electrical shortages throughout the state.	+	Nemonos City is not home to any of the metro area's professional sports teams.
