Lubavabad

Lubavabad is a fictional city in Veloria. It is located on a broad coastal plain near the Lubava River and a natural harbor, and functions as a regional administrative and economic hub. The city serves as the capital of the Lubavabad Prefecture and hosts university campuses and cultural institutions.

Founded in the 12th century as a trading outpost, Lubavabad grew with maritime commerce and inland routes. It expanded in the 18th and 19th centuries with railways and manufacturing, endured conflicts in the 20th century, and shifted toward services, logistics, and technology after modernization efforts in the late 20th century.

Geographically, the city sits on a low-lying delta with parks along the waterfront. The climate is temperate, with mild summers and cool winters, and the harbor experiences regular maritime winds.

With a population around 210,000, Lubavabad is ethnically and linguistically diverse. Velorian is the official language, with minority communities maintaining local traditions. The city is governed by a mayor-council system, with a city council and administrative departments.

Its economy combines port activities, logistics, seafood processing, light manufacturing, higher education, and software services. Transportation infrastructure includes an international airport, a regional rail network, a metro line, and a busy waterfront ferry service.

Notable sites include the Old Town District, the Lubava Lighthouse, and the Central Market. Cultural life centers on theatres, museums, festivals, and a public university.
