History[]
Kemburg City was founded in 1746, six years after Kemburg became a British Possesion in 1740. It was built to be the main settlement on the island, and took 4 years to build, construction starting in 1742. Two years after foundation, in 1748, it became the "Capital City" of Kemburg, and the most important Kemburgers moved into the city. The poor of Kemburg knew about the city, even though the very rich were the only that could afford the expensive lifestyle of the town. This resulted in the Poor of Kemburg giving the city the nickname "The Posh City" and it is still known as that today. The ruling monarch of Britain bought a residence there, that didn't have an official name, but was known as the Palace of the Posh to the Poorer residents, and that acts as the only name for it. Kemburg City was also home to some major protests and riots, and the famous protest where the citizens of Kemburg blew up the "Palace of the Posh" in the 1920's which led to Britain giving Kemburg full independence as a Republic.
Soon after Britain gave Kemburg independence, Kemburg City had an economic fall, as many lower class citizens moved into the city, and all the "important" citizens moved to Britain to avoid further protest. In 1940, Kemburg was occupied by Nazi Germany, and Kemburg City was also the capital of Nazi occupied Kemburg. This saw the population drop in large numbers as many fleed to the smaller villages in the countryside, or in the former underground tube stations. The famous battle of Kemburg was held in 1944 in Kemburg City, which saw the Allies (except Britain due to poor relations) win and return the rest of the island to Kemburg from there. After the war had ended, it was given a sum of money to pay for all the buildings that had been destroyed. Kemburg City was modernised with the money, and many citizens returned to the town, including many French and British people.
Over 200,000 people were living in Kemburg by the year 2000, and population grew higher and higher.
