Mhigo

Mhigo is a coastal city and the administrative center of the Mhigan Province in the fictional nation of Veridia. It sits on a natural harbor on the western coast, with hills inland and a river running through the urban core.

Mhigo’s history stretches back to the medieval period, when it began as a fishing village that grew into a trading town and fortification. It passed through several rulers before becoming the provincial capital in the early modern era. The city industrialized in the 19th and 20th centuries and expanded its port facilities during the postwar period.

Administratively, Mhigo is governed by a mayor and a city council responsible for local services, planning, and education. It serves as the capital of the Mhigan Province and sends representatives to the regional assembly.

The port remains central to Mhigo’s economy, handling freight and passenger traffic, with ongoing activity in fishing, light manufacturing, and logistics. The city is connected by a regional rail line and a national highway, and it hosts a small regional airport serving domestic and limited international flights.

Culturally, Mhigo hosts a university with programs in maritime studies and engineering, along with museums and theaters. Notable sites include Citadel Hill, the Old Harbor District, and the Moon Gate. The annual Sea Festival is a major cultural event, drawing visitors from across Veridia.
