Maplewood, Compassion

Maplewood is the third largest city by population in the Minnesotan state of Compassion, after Minneapolis and St. Paul. It is the largest suburb in the state, lying immediately east of St. Paul on the border with St. Croix Rapids. Similarly to other cities in Compassion, it was affected to a great degree by the Nogales war; it had a population of over 73,000 in 2134 according to the U.S. Census Bureau, but its population dropped to only 10,000 after the war as people died or fled, and today its population is just 18,000. It is all suburban in design, but its population loss has led to many largely vacant blocks, also similarly to other cities in the area.
