Minneapolis

Minneapolis is the 4th largest city in the Minnesotan Republic (M.R.) The area was first settled by Europeans starting in 1849, when the area was part of the United States, and the community was incorporated as a city in 1867. It was part of Hennepin County from its founding until 2053, when it became a consolidated-city county known as Minneapolis County. The city was heavily damaged during the Nogales nuclear war in 2134; roughly 75% of the city's population were killed by a nuclear blast. The city was rebuilt in the new Minnesotan Republic. The former location of downtown, where the first nuclear bomb was dropped, was converted into a 2.7 square mile (6.99 square kilometer) memorial garden.
