'Aubrey Federal City' is a exclave of Coocoostan and refers for the most part, to the city of Aubrey itself, although the Settlements of North Bay, South Bay and Ebling make up the rest. The Metropolitan Area and the Federal City are synonymous and there is no split between the two sub-national levels of government. The city was acquired by Coocoostan in 2005, when the nation of Tevi Milou broke apart, with the majority of the outlying territory being ceded to Kelssek. The city functions as the country's lone Harbour and is also home to the country's 2nd largest prison, the most important Catholic Cathedral and the entirety of the Coocoostan Military's Navy, as well as a Wing of the Air Force.

Geography

Aubrey is located to the east of the rest of Coocoostan and is frequently serviced by air. The city itself is large, but spread out, with most buildings under ten stories. The lone A-Series freeway in the region connects Aubrey itself, to the town of South Bay, with a smaller road leading to the Naval base.

Sport

Aubrey is home to many sports teams, most of which are very popular. The Coocoostan Hockey League's Aubrey Blades play at Federation Place and are well attended in their first year. Aubrey United and Aubrey FC were in the Coocoostan Soccer Federation's Premier League, with FC being relegated to Division one. They, as well as the Aubrey Admirals American Football team play at PacifiCoast Stadium. The Aubrey Rebels baseball team plays at Harbour Station.

South Bay also has two sports teams. The South Bay Hawks of the Coocoostan Junior Hockey League play at the South Bay Events Center, while the South Bay Marines Triple-A baseball team plays at Harbour Station, which is about Halfway between South Bay and Aubrey. The Marines are the AAA affiliate of the Rebels.

Universities

Aubrey is home to several top notch universities, including two of the prestigious Tradition Conference. James Wolfe University is home to both high standard academics, as well as the famous JWU Cardinals, who were national champions in American Football, and are highly touted to win at Basketball. Aubrey University is also highly respected for both Academics and research and the South Bay Maritime Academy is the only training school in the country for Merchant Marine Officers. The SBMA also offers diplomas for Commercial Masters.

Transportation

Air

Several Airlines offer flights in between Coocoostan proper and the AFC. Several Kelssekian airlines, inlcuding Air Kelssek also list Aubrey as International Destinations. Aubrey is also a potential hub for international flights to certain countries, due to it's easterly location.
