Major Cities (Colony Crisis Averted)

Doshoweh
Doshoweh is a city and the capital of The Six Nations, located on the eastern shores of Lake Erie at the head of the Niagara River. As of 2014, Doshoweh is the most populous city in the state with 458,703 residents, and the metropolitan area is the 57th largest in the North American Union.

Doshoweh experienced significant growth in the 19th and 20th centuries as a direct result of the Erie Canal, railroads and Lake Erie, providing an abundance of fresh water and an ample trade route to the Midwestern NAU, while grooming its economy for the grain, steel and automobile industries during the 20th century. Since experiencing an economic downturn in the latter half of the 20th century, Doshoweh's economy has transitioned to sectors that include financial services, technology, biomedical and education.

Doshoweh is dominated by the Iroquois people. However, between one quarter to one third of the residents are white. While the commercial core was indistinguishable from any European style city (aside from bilingual English / Iroquois signage), this was not the case for outlying residential districts. Many of the Iroquois areas had traditional longhouses and vegetable patches rather than flower beds in front while white areas had houses typical of other northeast NAU provinces.

The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) operates Doshoweh Niagara International Airport, reconstructed in 1997 and located in the nearby suburb of Cheektowaga. Doshoweh’s major newspaper is the Doshoweh Sentinel. Established in 1880, the newspaper has 181,540 in daily circulation and 266,123 on Sundays. Online news magazines include Artvoice Daily Online and Buffalo Rising, formerly a print magazine.
