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. A large section of downtown, where the nuclear bomb was dropped, was converted into a 2.72 square mile (7.00 square kilometer) memorial garden.

Because of the effects of the nuclear bomb, most of the 25% who survived permanently left Minneapolis after it was bombed. Only one of the eleven communities, Nokomis, had more than 75% of its population survive in the blast.
