Fortuna Bay is the geographic, cultural, economic, transport and government centre of The Melanesian Islands. Located here are the local government offices for the Protectorate, as well as the lower courts.

Located in the very heart of The Melanesian Islands, Fortuna Bay boasts an impressive port and navy base, as well as a very busy, modern airport. Ferries to all the other Melanesian Islands leave from Fortuna Bay, as well as one to Tashmara, Uzbekistan and Solomon. The airport is the hub of three major airlines, Melanesian Air, Fortuna 3000 and Air Carteria. The city's removed location, 100 km off the coast of Carteria, provides as an excellent transfer and departure point for flights into Carteria or abroad.

The city's education and library system is the envy of the entire Carterian continent. Four large universities are located in Fortuna Bay, including the University of Southern Carteria. The city's large, educated population also have access to a truly integrated transit system, which is so reliable and efficient, most of the populace does not own cars.

The downtown core, located along the waterfront, is impressive and busy. The Carterian Stock Exchange (CSX) is located here, and so are several dozen banks. The financial district is chock full of large, architecturally breathtaking skyscrapers, of which the Fortuna Centre is the tallest building in Carteria.

The city of Fortuna Bay is extremely immense. It straddles the entire bay it is name after, and population densities are higher than average. However, transportation and infrastructure were taken into careful account during the construction of the city, and a trip from one end of the city to the other (150km), only takes about an hour. This is thanks to the high-speed trains that criss-cross the city, and provide transportation to millions of commuters daily.

Fortuna Bay has also hosted the Carterian Olympic Games twice before, and is set to host them again in 2006. The Carterian Olympic Commitee has its offices in Fortuna Bay.
