Krashnov is the industrial heart of Eurussia, a harsh eastern metropolis built on steel, discipline, and relentless production. Surrounded by a ring of subordinate provinces—each effectively a vassal state to the Romanov family—the region functions as a unified industrial machine, its output powering the entire eastern continent. Life in Krashnov is defined by endurance: long winters, hard labour, and the expectation of loyalty to the ruling lineage.
At the city’s centre rises the Romanov Estate, a fortified seat of power that has governed the east for generations. From within its walls the Romanov family directs industrial policy, regional security, and the operations of the K-Militia—the hardened defence force drawn from Krashnov’s own populace. These soldiers, raised in a world of iron and cold, form one of Eurussia’s most disciplined and uncompromising military units.
Encircling the central city are the great industrial districts: vast steelworks, mechanical foundries, assembly floors, and smoke-stacked plants operating day and night. These sectors shape Krashnov’s skyline—towering refinery stacks, rail yards groaning under freight, and conveyor networks feeding the furnaces that keep the east alive. Factories stretch outward for miles, each linked to the next by rail spurs and supply corridors that bind the entire region into a single industrial organism.
Beyond the factories lie the vassal provinces themselves—Suln, Longwood, Cedar Town, and the others—each specialising in a branch of heavy industry or resource extraction. Though varied in layout and size, these provinces follow the same pattern: central industrial hubs surrounded by dense workers’ housing, all overshadowed by Krashnov’s unforgiving climate. Their loyalty to the Romanovs is not merely political but cultural; generations of labour have tied their futures to the survival of the eastern capital.
The population of Krashnov is shaped by its environment. Civilians are tough, disciplined, and accustomed to scarcity, winter, and the demands of industrial life. Community bonds are strong, forged through shared hardship and the constant pressure of the regime. Even the underground infrastructure reflects this resilience—deep tunnels, service corridors, and maintenance shafts carved into the rock beneath the city.
Together, the capital and its surrounding provinces form a single industrial empire, unified under Romanov authority. Where Greentown feeds Eurussia and Phoenix governs it, Krashnov forges it—its steel, its weapons, its machines, and its soldiers.
