History
Newcastle was founded by the Yera Authority in its initial settlement plans as settlement base in 2007. During the Yera Partition and Nation Foundation Congress in Auckland, New Zealand, in 2008 and 2009, Newcastle was selected the capital city of the Kingdom of Yerinesia. The first inhabitants were the construction workers who erected the infrastructure of Yera from 2007. In 2010, Newcastle already had a population of more than 1 million people and was the largest settlement of Yera.
Architecture
Newcastle mainly consists of colourful skyscrapers and buildings in the Central Business District and diverse small family housing in the outskirts.
