The heart of the old Spanish empire, Sevilla was one of the largest, wealthiest, and most magnificent cities in early-modern Europe. These days, it finds itself being overtaken by other cities, playing second fiddle to Rome, Hamburg, and even Lisbon in terms of trade and economic activity, with its fortunes being further hampered by heavy flooding and unusually heavy rain that has even once led to the city being marked as a disaster zone.

However, with a growing industrial sector and its population appearing to be on the rise more and more each year, Sevilla seems ready to take its place as one of the most prosperous cities of Iberia soon. Concerning to some and inspirational to others, Sevilla is also one of Iberia's most prominent centers of underground liberal political organization in the country, with rumors of a thriving hotbed of illegal trade unionism operating within the city.
