(bcfoss) Fleshed out the history. I can't actually remember what the dispute was that Wikaros intervened on other than that he sided with me and someone else against binny. Also I forgot the name of the Anprim settlement |

Pushkino (Latin: Puscinus) is the capital and the largest city in Nation of Pushkino. The city stands on the Ershui River in the Diannao region, with a population of 3 residents within the city limits. Pushkino was at one point both the region's and the world's largest city.
History
Anarcho-capitalist Period
Pushkino, then known as Finberg, was founded Anarcho-capitalists soon after the server started. initial structures kept to the east of the Ershui, comprising of a Castle, underground complex, and a smokehouse. Later settlers constructed temporary slums on the western banks of the Ershui, though a proper bridge across the river was not constructed until the completion of the town hall. The largest and last major structure built during the Anarcho-capitalist period was the Temple of Commerce, which served as a central market and temple for the settlement. Initially the city had no central government and was simply a collection of private dwellings, but a dispute between several land owners prompted the intervention of Wikaros, who agreed to help one of the factions if he was made king of Finberg. After the incident was settled, Wikaros cooperated with bcfoss to construct a sheep and chicken ranch in order to fund royal initiatives, but the enterprise underperformed and left the government stagnant and ineffectual.
Authoritarian Period
After a prolonged period of stagnancy, a group of citizens were unhappy with how the city felt run-down and unmaintained. This faction seized power and had all Anarcho-capitalist flags replaced with a newly designed Pushkino flag. Pushkino rapidly modernized and expanded under the guidance of the new government, even to the point of demolishing historical buildings if they served little purpose, such as the old town hall and slums. The rapid change in government is believed to be the leading cause of the Pushkino Civil War, as the rapid change of character in the city and defilement of the Temple of Commerce caused a culture shock among a considerable portion of the population. Despite the severity and speed of the transformations, the Pushkino government ultimately proved beneficial to the city. As a member of the ruling council with considerable fortunes, Ghostrider300 oversaw massive construction projects (structures, railroads, etc.) that heavily urbanized the formerly rural west side of the city. A massive bank and accompanying plaza were soon followed by two apartment complexes (Wikhaus and Worker's Joy) and the Lucian Amphitheatre, the latter of which was personally funded by party official Wikaros. The Pushkino Civil War coincided with this unprecedented growth, though acts of terrorism were initial contained to the older east side of Pushkino rather than the new structures. Rapid urbanization increased demand for cement, which called for the construction of a cement factory on the southern city limits. With the conclusion of the civil war and founding of Ancapium Pushkino officials were motivated to expand infrastructure far to the west in order to justify land claims on the border with Ancapium. A communal farming colony was founded halfway between the two cities, though by this time Pushkino's executive vigor was fading and the commune saw little investment.
Decline and Second Revival
After the conclusion of the civil war Pushkino experienced a pronounced decline both in influence and prestige. Communal farming ventures on the edges of the state were left in a state of dilapidation, and growth of the city itself ground to a halt. Close to a third of the population emmigrated to the east in order to form a short-lived Anarcho-Primitivist settlement (GET NAME), while the rest entered a period of inactivity. Conversely, during this time Ancapium was experiencing a golden age of economic growth and expansion, urbanizing at a rate reminiscent of Pushkino's meteoric rise under the authoritarians. The prestige of Pushkino gradually faded.
Pushkino's decline promoted the emergence of repressed movements. With support from Ancapium, Anarcho-capitalist revivalist bcfoss seized power and restored Pushkino to Anarcho-capitalism. These actions proved controversial, but like the previous revolution they breathed new life into the city. Anarcho-primitivists and former officials returned en masse to Pushkino to protest the changes, quickly doubling the active population.
Current Events
Anarcho-capitalist Revivalism
After untold days of repression, Pushkino has been returned to Anarcho-capitalism, though the return to the old ways is controversial among Pushkino residents. Pushkino flags have been torn down and replaced with the old Ancap banners. The revivalist(bcfoss)'s rise to power is admittedly opportunistic and relies on support from Ancapium, but bcfoss has planned several building projects to assuage criticisms. Several former Pushkino officials have cited the NAP as a protection against the removal of blue Pushkino flags from private property, to which bcfoss has reluctantly agreed.

Language
In addition to English, Pushkino has public signs in several other languages. Officials of the Authoritarian Period were prolific in the promotion of Russian and Chinese on public signs, while Ancap Revivalist(s) have translated signs into latin. The fact that each language is only known by only a fraction of Pushkino's population assures that any given citizen of Pushkino cannot be expected to understand every sign written in Pushkino.
