Introduction

The City of Adin, Shmuel Rabinovitch
</div>

The city of Adin, 2nd largest in Shmuel Rabinovitch, is a densely populated city of 4.6 million citizens. Coming a long way since its humble past hundreds of years ago as a community of poor but dedicated fishermen, this tiny metropolis is now at a terrific juncture in PEELian geography: In addition to its location approximate to where the Northen Shrimpkin Ocean meets the Sea of Jamala, Adin is also the final stop on mainland PEEL for the colossal system of international railways known as the Maglev, and as such has become both a tourist destination and a regional economic center. Only expected to grow larger, the city is projected to top a population of 5 million by 2060.

Economy

Adin is an important producer of consumer goods and a reliable home to the Shmueli bases of operations for many regional companies, among them liquor labels Gelb-Akko and Bialik, Shmuelamit Automotive and the nation's largest electronics manufacturer, The Zelda Corporation. Many international companies are also looking to move manufacturing jobs to Adin in order to cut shipping costs and take advantage of the reasonable wage demands of Shmueli workers.

History

Founded as a rural fishing village over 500 years ago, Adin's potential as a shipping port was soon realized, and over many centuries it has developed into one of northern PEEL's most vibrant and culturally distinct cities. Home to the National Museum of the Natural Sciences, the collossal Adin Ben-Arik Temple of the Rabinovitchai, and the newly revitalized, gentrified, and popular Fishtown District, the city of Adin has much to offer the eager tourist.

2058 PEELympic Bid

Adin has been selected to host the next Winter PEELympic Games. Initially scheduled for 2058, the games have been postponed until 2062 due due regional conflicts and economic recession. All sporting facilities have been completed, and some say an extra four years may have helped the city prepare to handle an even greater number of visitors than had initially been expected.

PEELympic Plans

  • The PEELympic Village will hold a prominent position in Fishtown, with planned residency for athletes along the waterfront.
  • The opening ceremonies will take place in A.B. Afdie Arena, the designated PEELympic stadium. Capapable of seating over 102,000 spectators, the venue will be converted to play host to the hockey tournament. The nearby 35,000+ seat Ovadia Arena will see the speed skating events.
  • 68,000 screaming fans will be able to take in the snowball fighting tournament from Lubkavitch Stadium. This venue is believed by some to provide a greater theatre for the winter combat, for competitors are much more at the mercy of the elements than in the Weindome, as winds blow violently across the pitch at times.
  • The Kavlas Range south of the city will prove a suitable home for the skiing, snowboarding, and sledding events. Bleachers are to be constructed.
  • The wooded valley between Kavlas and the city proper should play host to cross-country skiing, the biathalon, and Shmuel Rabinovitch's most succesful PEELympic sport to date, snowmobiling.
