Bay PNR
Bay PNR is an almsot untouched state, what with many square miles of untouched national forests. Also in Bay PNR is the mouth of the Fall Mill River, a medium sized river used for light shipping and recreation.
Introduction
This peaceful state has very rugged coastline with high, jagged inland peaks. The large Fall Bay is a shipping mecca, what with the only large port on it's coast for a hundred miles. The Fall Mill River, although pointless for long distance shipping, is a very beautiful river which has become a very recreational river, with thousands of riverside homes and many more boats. Snow-skiing in the state is impossible to find, since the only high elevation areas are covered with forests and cannot be reached. Fishing is one of the states main industries, with the historic northern city of Crescent Bay being the Rockfish capital of the world, plus the state's first settlement.
History
Bay PNR was founded as a territory on September 17th, 1784. The state's population steadily grew when people heard of the strong fishery off the rugged northern coast. In 1792, a small settlement was started on Camon Creek in the southern part of the territory. This town soon had a population of 700 and was known for miles around as Timber Country. The national government in Oklebee saw that these cities needed a sort of "bridge". So, the National Government sent a group of 400 wilderness men, workers, and families to go start the city of Fall Mill, which would be come the first planned state capital. Then, Fall Mill got a reputation of being a strong, prosperous city. Soon people began to flock to all parts of Bay PNR. By 1805, the state population had exceeded 20,000 people, with Fall Mill being the world's third largest city with 17,400 people, under the city of Oklebee and Tratagus. On April 7th, 1811, the territory was declared a state. Two days later, the section of Fall Mill seperated and became Bay Port. Although this had no impact, it was an important event anyways. By 1922, all of the cities existing today had been established.
Economy
The main industries of Bay PNR mostly involve raw goods. The state is one of the largest lumber producing states in the country, with hundreds of thousands of acres of untouched forests. Also a strong industry in this state is fishing. Salmon and tuna fishing along the coast bring in a fairly large percentage of the country's fisheries. Also here is much iron ore. Ore mined from the northern mountains is worth millions of dollars a year here. Also found throughout the state are veins of copper, steel, and silver. Plus, a smaller industry here is stone, with plenty of natural marble and granite in the mountains of the state.
