Stuck between Victoria and Woodland Hills is the resplendent haven, Eastland. It was founded by a Leyipirian named Elmore Eastland, who dreamt of a place his kind could live openly without fear of marginalization or commercialization. He dreamt of institutes, academies, and universities to explore, learn, and truly understand the majestic world he found himself and his kind hiding within. Embracing the unique and the traditional, Elmore Eastland, a civil engineer, used Cerdà’s Eixample as inspiration making the hub a place built for learning, privacy, light, creativity, and structure. The outer parts are trails, mazes, cabins, and cottages built for all seasons, but no more than 4-stories out of respect for the Citadel.
With a population of 1.5 million and growing, families either move to Eastland or send their children to increase their chances of achieving the best opportunities for advancement. Eastland is home to four elite boarding schools, three ivy league-like universities, and two institutes responsible for developing Leyipirian legislation, economic strategies, and policies decreasing the wealth income gap by 13 percent, and controversially receiving contracts with the Department of Defense.
Educators, inventors, creators, scholars, scientists, artists, performers, and everything in between is in Eastland. People sacrifice everything to be the next big discoverer, the next big sensation, and failure is public and painful. Ambition and promise lead to competition and heightened emotion, which has led to murder.
Although Leyipirian relations have come a long way, many still discourage the use and language prompting the recent creation of the Bureau of Leyipirian Affairs (BLA). The BLA is responsible for protecting Leyipirians and their rights guaranteed under the constitution as they are citizens. They also investigate Leyipirians who violate the law and work in tandem with local authorities in all five districts.
Not all things can be bright and liberal, some must be dark and restrictive. Nonetheless: Thought, Vision, and Justice are the three words all Eastlanders live by and some have died for.
Welcome to Eastland.
