History

The City of Porterdam was established when it was apart of Colonial-Era Segasaturn in 1908 to allow France to coordinate shipping throughout south -eastern Segasaturn. After Segasaturn won it's Independence in 1978, The popluation grew and exploded - making it the country's third largest Port. After the Great Segasaturnian Anarchist Revolution in 1992, It became the Porterdam Commune - and it was of the Anarchist Commune's main commercial centers. But after New Ronin recieved it's independence in early 2004 - neighboring Porterdam City and suburban area next to it became displeased with Segasaturn and as a result - seceded from the Anarchist Communes of Segasaturn on August, 28, 2004 as the Republic of Porterdam. During the Two-Week Revolution in neighboring New Ronin, Porterdam decided to join The People's Republic to aid Anarchist Revolutionaries and for self sufficiency. It Became a City of New Ronin on September, 2, 2004. It joined along with the suburban area - making New Ronin 30% times larger.

Currently - it's the largest city in the People's Commune of New Ronin with a popluation of nearly 194 Million. It is also it's largest port.
