The northern part of Lost

Lost (or Lost City), is a major city in the Lost Commonwealth. The city holds historical importance as the first city and the old capitol of the Lost Commonwealth before it was moved to the city of Ascension. Lost is also notable for its tourism economy.

Geography

Lost is bordered by the University of Clementine in the west and the Shire Dane International Airport in the north, which are parts of Clementine. Lost is also bordered by other Lost Commonwealth territories, which are the town of Lost Beach and the city of Found in the east and the city of Ascension in the south.

Lost is also situated between two large water bodies, which are the Clementine Bay (which has shared jurisdictions with Clementine) in the west and the Remnant Sea (shared by Lost, Lost Beach, and Found) in the east. The city also has a sandy bay branching from the Remnant Sea, named the Advent Bay. The north of the city is home to a river. Lost is included within Lost Valley Biome, identified by mild summers and cool winters.

History

Advent Bay, where Mech first arrived before creating the Lost City

Lost originated as a settlement in 1812 by Lostites, a previously nomadic ethnicity descended from Fraggle Rock human colonists and Enpeecees. The settlement was only formally established in 1900 following the formation of its first council, from which the 'Lostite' demographic name first gained definition.

The settlement was transformed into a city-state by Mech in August 11th, 2014 through the ratification of the Lost Charter. The charter effectively put the term 'Lost' (as a city-state) and 'Lostite' (as a demographic) to official and common use. The charter also established sovereignty, law, and freedom for Lostites. The implementation of the Lost Charter spearheaded economic and infrastructural growth in Lost during 2014-2015, which subsequently made Lost a significant economic and cultural power.

Lost later experienced difficulties in constructing the palatial complex due to flawed architectural plans. This was followed by the failure to repay construction loans, which triggered a further chain of events leading to the Great Recession of 2016. As mayor, Mech received widespread criticism and decreased popularity, leading to his loss in the 2016 elections and his departure from Lost.

Clementine expansions, including the Shire Dane Airport, was a factor in sparking the Founder Movement

Arthur Daniels, supported by elite populists, replaced Mech as mayor. His administration was marked by escalated corruption, the expansionism of neighboring Clementine, and the rise of the Founder Movement opposed to the Daniels administration. The movement was led by Nich Carsi, former deputy mayor under the Mech administration, and advocated for a communal capitalist approach, less regulation towards building codes, and a greater social opportunity for Lost citizens. The Daniels administration suppressed the movement, which, combined with city overpopulation, led to the exodus of many Lostites from Lost. The suppression culminated in the arrest and execution of Nich Carsi, which led to Mech's return to Lost and his win in the 2018 elections.

Daniels alleged that the 2018 elections was a fraud and refused to step down. He subsequently decreed a cracdown on the Founder movement and the countryside settlements that were among the destinations of Lostian exodus. One of the settlements, Harvestead, was burned to the ground, which is considered as the starting point of the Lost and Found Civil War.

The Lost and Found Civil War resulted in a significant death toll and the draining of Lost's economic reserves. The war, along with the disclosure of elite corruption, diminished the defense of Lost. The second Mech administration, in the midst of the war, announced the dissolution of the city-state and the establishment of the Lost Commonwealth in February 10th, 2019, to contest the Daniels' regime. The war came to an end in 2020, with the collapse of the Daniels' regime and his flight from Lost.

Borkia Hotel, a major hotel in Lost made during its height of tourism economy

The establishment of the Lost Commonwealth and the ratification of the Articles of Commonwealth officially designated Mech as President, made Lost its capital, integrated settlements around Lost, and commenced construction of the Found city. Its administration oversaw the development of the Pearl Casino and many high-end hotels, which made Lost a power in the tourism economy. The creation of the Ascension city in 2022, south of Lost, began the relocation of the capital from Lost to Ascension.

An earthquake in March 23rd, 2023 devastated the Lost Commonwealth, including Lost. The cause was later revealed as unnatural, as Chem, a bio-copy of President Mech made by TechnoCore, as well as his group detonated a seismic bomb under the grounds of the commonwealth. Chem previously conspired with Daniels (under the Anton Davies pseudonym), which he would betray later. This would later put Lost as a significant theater in the Technocore War alongside Oranjestad and other cities. The most notable war fought in this theater was The Paradox War, marked by temporal disturbances and interdimensional clashes. The earthquake, along with subsequent wars, costed Lost a much greater death toll than the Lost-Found Civil War in a short time and gave way for Chem to escape to other dimensions. After the war ended, the Lost Valley Authority was established to facilitate recovery from the war.

Today, Lost is still rebuilding its economy while recovering from the earthquake and wars, which are commemorated as 3.23.23. The event is considered the most significant event in the history of Lost.
