The Loveshack is a litle old place where we can get together, and debate international law and politics. It is situated on its own island between Lexilo and Amun-Seth and is connected to the mainland by a road and high speed rail bridge to Tocaia. It also has a major port and Rock-Lobster Airfield.
The Loveshack is a planned city that was planned and built by the international community shortly after the colonisation of Arsinos to be the seat of the UN and serve as the international city for neutral institutions, UN conduct and international diplomacy.
Governance and life in the World City
The Loveshack is a United Nations Administered Territory meaning it is a subject of the UN and therefore the international community. However for most issues the Loveshack is self governed democratically through the town hall. Mayor Stubbs was appointed by the UNGA as the Mayor for his experience in both Mayoral roles and UNEC roll.
It is a very unique place due to its status as the UN capital, as a city this comes with advantages and disadvantages - with links to pretty much every nation and every global organisation and relaxed rules to accomodate the many different kinds of people that settle here. This means that the Loveshack has untold opportunities unheard of elsewhere, both UN funding and international private investments means the city is never short of money.
The city is very multicultural and has avoided all of the internal conflicts that sometimes result from this, English is the main language but all languages are represented, in particular Portuguese is widely know as a result of its close connection to Tocaia.
The disadvantage for citizens of the Loveshack is that the city must ultimately serve a purpose, to host the UN facilities and its delegates - every other aspect of the cities activity comes second to this. The exception to the lax laws comes when security needs to be tight.
