Karburgh

Karburgh (/ˈkɑːrbɜːrg/) is the most populous city of New Colorado Prefecture, Enderron. It is the largest city in mainland Eastern Enderron and the 14th most populous in the country. It is located at the head of Karburgh Bay on New Colorado's northeastern coast, and sits across the border with Batavia to the city of Zeelandton. Karburgh is the most populous border city in Enderron, and thus is home to the busiest official border crossing between Enderron and Batavia. Residents of the city are known as "Karburghers". As of October 2018, Karburgh's metropolitan population is estimated to be 557,751. Owing to its geographical isolation from other major cities in Enderron, Karburgh is nicknamed "The Lonely City".

Karburgh was founded by British colonists and is named after John Clarence Carr, an explorer and cartographer who demarcated parts of the border between Enderron and Batavia. The settlement was originally spelt "Carrburgh" and pronounced /ˈkɑːrbərə/ (similar to Edinburgh). The name was corrupted due to a spelling error during a further survey conducted by the Spanish colonists. The modern pronunciation had taken hold by the late 19th century.
