The townCity of Southend sprawls overblankets much of the eponymousCape capethat shares its name. It is one of [[CivClassic]]'sthe oldest settlementsactive cities on the server. Like many early citiessettlements, its buildings ramble in diverse and sometimes clashing styles, but the constraints of the peninsulageography prevented the usualtypical gridsprawl of square plots.; Thethe roadslots are densesmall and irregular, the lotsroads smalldensely and irregularpacked. A Westminster-esque canal system imposes a sense of rhythm on the chaotic cityscape, and reminds the Southshireans of their ties to the Commonwealth. The people of Southend have never been as zealous in their canalism as their northern cousins; from the canals[[The Commonwealth|Commonwealth]], and have featuredallowed bridges from the beginning.[[File:Downtown Southshire.png|thumb|Southend's conservation area: a time capsule from 2017.|left]]Southend went through a boom in 2017 and early 2018.

Before Samchester was conceivedfounded in mid-2021, Southend was Southshire'sthe only urbandeveloped area in all of significanceSouthshire, and people did not generally distinguish between the city and the nationcountry. To settle the confusion, Triumvir [[StrPlatinum]] selectedgave theSouthend its officialcurrent name of Southend on June 10th. The 'Southend'-name has beenplenty historicallyof historical precedent: it was applied to both the city<ref>https://gyazo.com/8c9f733e50adb1866a458b482b855353.

As the oldest city of Southshire, Southend is the country's main infrastructure hub. It enjoys direct lines to many neighbouring nations and an eastbound connection to the [[Great Overland Railway|Great Overland Railway.]] There isare aalso domestic rail to theTerrasilvia, farmsHighpoint, ofand TerrasilviaSamcester.

Platinum Tower, created by [[cinzar]], is a large quartz building near the center of town. It has several open floors for rent, and also serves as the headquarters of the globally-distributed Yoahtl Sun paper. The latest edition of the paper is available for purchase on the bottom floor.

The community brewery is open to all, with a few public recipes available to get newcomers started. The building is constructed mainly of green hardened clay, with different spruce plank blocks adding a curved, heavily-styled facadefaçade and roof. There is an attic full of chests for frequent users of the building to store their supplies and finished products.

The Nude Beach Resort is a new resort made by ss8308 (SpiderPig) and [[cinzar]]. After a long day of work you can head there and have some locally-brewed alcohol. There is a strip club for entertainment, with a beach house for any desire.

A recent addition, a public library near the town center holds books from all over the world, available at one iron/book. It is composed of brick, with quartz columns and roofing. Some of the books on hand include:

-The First Mayor of Augusta (A history of [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]])

The makeup of the lands in Southshire are mostly into 3 big land masses. The main city is on the biggest land mass which is the dark forest biome. This is connected to the messa biome and [[The Commonwealth]] territory. Across from the main land, through the river biome which leads into the tiaga/spruce biome, is called "The Highlands". This is a huge, mostly untouched, territory in Southshire. Very little development has occurred in the highlands with a protected national park. The last main land mass is the island of Terrasilvia. One can travel here by boat or rail from Southshire. This island is the "industrial" island of Southshire. This island includes a big dark oak tree farm, oak tree farm, birch tree farm, and a developing wheat farm. Lots of development is occurring in Terrasilvia, making the island better and more suitable to people.

The train station is located right near the downtown in area. Southshire has rails connecting to The [[Commonwealth]], [[Yoahtl]], and [[Nymph]]. The rails connecting to [[The Commonwealth]] include Westminster and Arran. The rails connecting to [[Yoahtl]] is the underground rail which leads to the junction to go to [[Falstadt]], New Yoahtl City, or Westminster. The other [[Yoahtl]] rail is The [[Great Overland Rail]] which connects to New Yoahtl City and Westminster. The other rail going outside of Southshire territory is the [[Nymph]] rail, which heads into the heart of [[Nymph]]. The inter rail goes to Terrasilvia.

Roads in Southshire are made out of stone brick and stone slabs. The roads are five wide, making a lot of room for your horse and travels. The roads lead through all over the city connecting, connecting to the edge of [[The Commonwealth]] territory. There are new expanding roads in The Highlands for future expansion.

The island resort of Bonita springs, founded by [[cinzar]], is located at {{coord|-6450|7570|200}}.
