New Orlando

New Orlando is a city in Lunar Region 5. It is the largest city by area and the densest by population on both Earth and the moon. Home to many major tourist attractions, hotels, and casinos, it draws an annual estimate of 10,000,000 visitors, over 30% of Earth's total population.

History
Established in 2028 as one of the earliest lunar cities, New Orlando was built around the first lunar tourism base, initially as a series of hotels for visitors who couldn't afford to stay on the base proper. When Nick Land broke ground in 2030, speculation drove companies to build infrastructure, hotels, and housing at a rapid pace. A series of timeshares constructed and maintained by MoonTimeX further contributed to this explosive growth, and the city's population is estimated at 5,000,000 as of 2035.

Geography
New Orlando, like its Earth-based namesake, is flat and barren. Water is drawn from a series of tubes connected to lunar ice caps. No natural bodies of water exist, though a number of indoor beaches serve inhabitants.

Economy
New Orlando is owned by the New Orlando Conglomerate, a firm consisting of Somewhere Systems, MoonTimeX, Booble, and Taco Bell. Many industries call New Orlando home, such as technology, tourism, and CumeTV production.

Culture
The city's culture largely consists of tourist attractions and buffets with stale food. Nick Land is the largest owner of land, and through an arrangement with the city's governance, it is an autonomous region with a distinct set of laws. It is recommended that visitors hire tour guides with knowledge on Nick Land law before entering the park, as law enforcement on the park's grounds is known to be strict. It is estimated that 500 people die yearly in Nick Land Prison, though as official death tolls are not publicly available, this number may be much higher.

Other significant landmarks include Hal Rainbow's Pleasure Dome, the New Orlando Zoo, McDonald's XII Libertarian University, and Someplace.
