Welcome to Yakingo, the country's capital.
I've heard nite shots are popular so i'll be working on some 
-------------------------------------------------
Welcome to Yakingo, Dashyato's capital and only official city. It lay amongst the massive forrest that covers the entire country and is home to many old houses and fine cobblestone streets.
Despite its lovely atmosphere and quality services, it harbors a major issue. The government is loosing money rapidly due to the oil operation running dry. The city is in deplorable conditions in many places and poverty is common. The services the pope took for granted are disapeering, and the highway is closed all to often because of giant potholes.
The only service station in the area is out of supplies frequently, so many cars sit in driveways and parkinglots without a drop of fuel in their tanks.
Along with the bad condition of Highway A-1 North, the lack of gas caused much of road-based trade to disapeer.
The local gas station and the roads around it are practically death traps.
Beyond the gas station is the local mall. People don't shop for its luxuries very often, so the back alley is often used as a dump. The actual building is in bad shape as well, with leaks and cracks everywhere. Its walls are also infested with rodents and roaches. Some day the people hope to rebuild the
Seems to have started raining... that's all too common here.
The little revenue coming into the government's budget is the oil shipped to the US and Europe. The only issue is that since the supply is almost out, this small port will become yet another useless dump in the ailing capital.
The port won't light up the night much longer. Its tanks will likely be used for garbage dumping and secret hiding places for Christmas presents.
Back in town, the presence of poverty is evident and growing quickly.
About 11/13 of the poeple are poor.
Yakingo still has some hope; back in the 40's when the land was surveyed for useful resources for the war, oil wasn't the only thing discovered.
Coal was also extrememly adundant across the main island, but wasn't needed so it was left alone. The government could gamble with possible tourism loss, the weakening of the ground around where a quarry would be, and the monumental costs of the equipment for a chance at getting Dashyato out of the bottom and become a fully devolped society.
They've got some big plans for this place....

Part Three soon! Hope the nite shots feed your cravings.
