Mecklenburg is a Councillor town in the southwestern Gamma founded by tarheelscouse.

Mecklenburg was founded in late February 2015 by tarheelscouse. It is built primarily in a Neo-Renaissance style and has a bilingual status (the town caters fully to speakers of English and Émade). The town also is known for Mecklenburg Central Station. The town was also the birthplace of the MRTGAMA movement and is home to the first-ever Support Institute.

History

Mecklenburg was originally founded in north-north-west Gamma, north of T15 on the MRT Taiga Line, where it grew slowly, soon playing host to the expanding Pacifica network. Following a suggestion from BaronThamesBank, Mecklenburg was transplanted into its current location. Some of the old town remains untouched in its original place, with kekkomatic acting as caretaker.

In its new place, Mecklenburg soon was squeezed in between several important transit projects. It overlooks the Kolpino Canal, has some rail connections operating and planned, and is planning bus and tram connections to nearby cities.

As the town slowly grew, more business-oriented buildings started to sprout in the skyline. Many server-wide brands and corporations have offices and branches in Mecklenburg, including the Under Score Corporation, MRTGAMA, and Buy n Large.

Geography

Mecklenburg is located in the southwestern New World, in Gamma in Ward 7. Mecklenburg borders a river and the Kolpino Canal to the north that leads out to Lake 8. Mecklenburg is located in a desert biome.

Mecklenburg has two direct neighbors, across streams of water: Kolpino City to the north and Daneburg to the west. In relation to other nearby settlements, Pelham is to the east, Avalon is to the southeast, and Helix Bay to the southwest.

Transit

Roads

The main road in Mecklenburg is route C74, signed within the town as Greyer Street and Ilton Avenue. It runs east-west through the city centre and around Canada Gardens.

Rail

The main concourse of Mecklenburg Central Station

Mecklenburg Central Station is the primary station for the city, though others are easily accessible (notably Daneburg East). The only service currently operating through the station is RaiLinQ service number ST5500, running between Kolpino City and Pamsterlin.

Mecklenburg Central Station also provides interchange to the municipal metro, signed under PEI Metro. Central Station is key station on the city network on Line 4 and is in ticketing zone 1. Monument Station adjoins the complex, served by Line 2.

A secondary station serving the east of the city is currently under construction.

The closest MRT stations are M18 and M19 on the MRT Mesa Line and C78 on the MRT Circle Line.

Municipal bus

Mecklenburg is well served by the municipal bus operator, PEI Buses. Three lines are currently in partial service around the city centre.

Local government

Local legislative power is vested in tarheelscouse as Mayor of the town, but he is advised and assisted by the Council of Mecklenburg, a six-member council elected democratically by residents and business owners.
