Hugoto

Located in the Big Island Division in Mirani, Hugoto is the largest non-capital city in Mirani, with a total population of 9,201 as of 2011. The population is expected to rise as it is the location of the Capital Causeway, Linking Crestview to the Big Island. As Crestview consumes Capital Island with it's sprawl, it will soon 'spill' to Hugoto, expecting to double the population within a year.

History
The town was established 1 month prior to the completion of the Causeway on the 4th February 1932. It was established for this very reason, so that travellers from the capital would trapped into the tourist traps located along the town's main road.

Geography
The city lies on the edge of a submerged hillside, which makes the land very steep in some places. Much of the Downtown area (Near the entrance/exit to the Capital Causeway) is reclaimed land, which was also used to construct a small port and marina.

Climate
The city experiences hot and wet summers, with mild and humid winters. The surrounding hillsides offers some protection to what more exposed parts of Mirani usually get.

Demographics
The city's current population as of 2011 was 20,107, currently the largest non-capital city in Mirani. The city is expected to double in size to 40,000 by the end of 2014, when the last of Crestview's free land is developed. This would transform the city, making it larger than some division capitals.

Economy
To increase tourism, mainly from Crestview, the Miranian Government allowed the construction of a small casino strip in the city centre. Many more casinos and hotels started to be constructed in the city. Soon, multi-story living became more and more popular as land was in short supply and also very expensive. (This is the same for many Miranian cities, as much of the flat land available is primarily used for farming.) Although nothing in the city rises more than 15 floors (The cities tallest building being the Hugoto Hotel, 15 floors and 50m tall. To cope with the expected population increase, a new development in the city is expected to start next year, with the proposed 100m "Diamond" Hotel and Apartments, transforming the city's skyline.
