The Marina

About
The Marina, originally Marina Residences and Resorts, is a city located around x=0, z=900 in The Overworld. It was created around Late august to early June of 2019, as its first mention was the 5th of July, 2019, and may have been suggested to exist the day before. It is regarded by most players of the Realm the first city in the realm. However, some believe that the first city was RadialTea771861's unnamed town. Discord messages from Spicy's Discord Server show that The Marina was mentioned first, but this does not mean it was created first. First or not, it is evident that this city is the most influential to the Realm's history.

Divisions
The Marina is Divided into themed districts to accompany different building types: the financial district, supposed to resemble Manhattan & including buildings like the IG/Marina Headquarters and several other corporate headquarters, as well as the Stock Exchange market building; White Diamond, the residential district, including houses, apartments, and hotels.

Build-offs and Minigame district
During the first few months of the realm, it was not uncommon for people to participate in build-offs competitions where a pair of people would race to build a building to the build height limit (y=255), while still keeping somewhat realistic structural integrity to their build. One may find many of these around the north and west border of The Marina. MailableEgg3329 when asked by Phillapple to move the build-offs fromfrom his city said "Too iconic".

To the direct east of The Marina, the minigame district (or what's left of it) resides.

Harley Revolutionary War
The Harley Revolutionary War had one of its battles take place in this city, The Battle of Sleep Inn. The Harley Revolution and the DAE against the Marina Guard. The battle took place shortly after the DAE and the Revolutionists took a battle stance at the doorstep of Sleep Inn to rid the building of the End Corruption, as it was agreed the DAE would join forces in the war with the Harley Revolution once they helped the DAE with their End problem. Once the collection of soldiers marched out, The Marina Guard ambushed. After some time (like idk a few days of playing a weird chess with armor stands), the battle was stopped by both parties.

Marina Federation
Founder of The Marina in The Marina's early days wished for The Marina to act as a functioning nation. Later, it was decided it was just a city, though the Marina Federation, named after the city, holds governmental control over the city.

End Corruption & Ardent Plague
All three known instances of the End Corruption existed around or in The Marina, and the first instance of the Ardent Plague existed in the Minigames district
