Port Terra

Description
Port Terra is Raphtrevor's most populous city at nearly a million residents. The entire Port Terra metro area has a population of 4 million, which includes Port Terra West, and Port Terra South. It has a Mediterranean climate being that its desert is surrounded by the coast. Port Terra used to be a poverty and crime stricken city, but recently underwent drastic improvements because of TARs Operation Gentrify. Port Terra is considered to be a very easy place to conduct business, as property prices are relatively cheap. Some notable buildings in Port Terra include the T.A.R. HQ, MNT Tower, The Shrivel Factory, and The Starlight Casino.

History
After the war between TAR and MNT. Raphtrevor was divided up, leaving most of the main islands to T.A.R., and MNT with the mainland. MNT moved operations to the Mainland in 1946 and released a team of prospectors who over the course of 5 years discovered coal and oil. After T.A.R. heard about the discovery, they had to become involved. They discussed a new land deal and came up with the new policy of First Come First Serve. This allowed T.A.R. to operate in Port Terra and capitalize on the Industry.

Economy
The Economy of Port Terra has changed drastically since the 2000s. Port Terra for most of its existence has been known as Raphtrevor's most industrial colony. But since 2000, nearly all of the industrial and agricultural jobs have migrated to Port Terra West. At first, this was disastrous for Port Terra, ergo the 27% drop in population between 2000 and 2010. But with T.A.R.'s Operation gentrify and recent re-investment from MNT, the city transformed into a thriving service-based economy, with a vibrant nightlife and luxury shopping. This brings in people from all over Raphtrevor spending billions every year in the city, and entices residents to explore the city.
