Coocoobad Federal City is the national capital of Coocoostan as well as a "Federal City", meaning it is responsible for it's own Oblast-level government. It is located in the eastern portion of Coocoostan proper and is a Megalopolis, beginning to suffer from urban sprawl, pollution(smog,smoke and acid raid) as well as a crime wave. The Interior Secretariat requires an application to be submitted to move to Coocoobad unless you have an acceptable relative already living there, or an offer of employment. Still, the city continues to grow at the rate of nearly a thousand new citizens a day and the government is considering implementing a population cap at 30 million.
Geography
The city is extremely cluttered, with a network of streets that is far from uniform. Streets can instantly shrink from being four lane boulevards to one lane alleys and then back again, due to the resistance of local residents to move and make way for road projects. The city also had a shantytown on the outskirts of the city, until it was dismantled in 2004 and the residents moved. Still, most returned and the city is overrun by squatters and homeless(some 10,000).
Culture
Coocoobad is a seat of domestic culture, and is dotted with Movie Theatres, Restaurants, Tea Houses and various ethnic shops. Coocoobad also has many popular nightspots, especially in the west end in what is simply called The Block. It is also home to the Brodcasting Systems of Coocoostan(BSC) series of television networks and Coocostan Television Network. Many Movies and Television series set in Coocoobad are shot in the city, although on private lots rather than in the city itself.
