New Orland

New Orland, formerly known as New Orleans, is a city-state located on Orland in the Mississippi Delta Peninsula projecting from the coastline of the former state of Louisiana. The city was on the front lines of sea level rise in the mid 21st century, only being saved from total destruction by the emergency investment of resources, funds, and manpower by Duckworth International.

History
Once known as New Orleans, prior to the Genearchy event the city was a hub for trade passing through the Mississippi River and an important strategic location for controlling access to the U.S. interior via that river. Additionally, New Orleans was once a popular tourist destination due to its historical landmarks. However, the city was also on the forefront of sea rise due to it's very low altitude and topography. By the mid 21st century, the city was on the verge of being abandoned to the ocean. The federal and Louisiana state budgets, constantly strained by a steady decline of tax revenue and an increasing national debt, were not adequate to pay for the massive infrastructure projects such as improved sea walls, pumps and new highways that would be necessary for the city to remain habitable. This lead to a significant withdrawal of financial, material, and human resources from the New Orleans area anticipating the total loss of the city to the Gulf of Mexico. Meanwhile, many poor families living in the area were largely unable to move to safety.
