Marvel

Marvel, California, Republic of Gain and California is the largest city by population in the entire state of California. Founded in 1862 B.U.K. it is the oldest permanent Gainese settlement on what the Gainese called California. Located on the Island of Marvel in the middle of Lac Du Atlanta, the city is the only metropolis capable of surviving in the Espana Desert. The city is home to 4,567,467,378,234 inhabitants making the city one of the most inhabited in the world. The island it's self is the most densely populated in the world and the most destructed by Gainese or Shinto intervention. No native wildlife lives in the city other than for the occasional dragon that perches and nest on the roof tops of Pod homes.

History
Espana Desert was and always has been one of the hottest most uninhabitable places on the planet. First spotted by Shinto Settlers some 45 million years ago, the island of Marvel had been home to a small trading post for Shinto peoples with the northern kingdoms, as the Fish from Lac Du Atlanta was heavily prized. The Shinto people called it Mayhem after the God of destruction and king of the underworld. But some 10,000 years after their arrival the Shinto stopped communication with their ancestors and some ended trekking across the desert some arriving at the island of Puerto Rico and others towards the Fundy Archipelago. When the Gainese first arrived in 1863 B.U.K. the Shinto and Gainese were first shocked by one another and neither dared make contact. When Vasces Odemos of Gainese Athens arrived with settlers the Shinto accepted the Gainese and interbred with them making the first historical reference of the cross species. Ever since the city of Marvel has been mostly Ga-Russ. The Gainese renamed Mayhem to Atlanta, named after the Goddess of light and tranquil breezes, but revered by Gainese sailors for good sailing. It was Emperor Justo I in 1745 B.U.K. who renamed Atlanta to Marvel the Gainese word for mirage, as like a mirage the oasis of Atlanta appeared to Gainese merchants. in 1744 B.U.K. Justo I created the State of California and claimed it's territory. California is the Gainese word for great expanse. At first he made and kept Madrid as the new territorial capital, but he later found Marvel as an impressive sight to build a capital unlike any the world had seen. He wanted it to rival the likes of Athens and built the Great Temple of Tellawow at it's center. The Temple still remains in the center of the city.
