Hashville

Hashville is a metropolis in the Happyface State. It is considered the technological capital of the United States of Antarctica, along with being a major technological hot spot of the continent, with rivals including Dorkugal, Circuit Valley, and Snow Jose.

Background
The major metropolis was founded in 2001, by colonists. They decided they wanted to be isolated from society, so they built the town inland. However, during the period in which the HF State became a USA state, many penguins moved into the town. Hashville became a popular spot for innovators and entrepreneurs to settle, as they thought the city would become a hot spot.

In the winter of 2011, Peach Inc. and Penguin OS established headquarters in Hashville, helping the city become even more of a tech hot spot.

Topography
Hashville is known for its unusually rough landscape, as well as its many mountains and hills. For some strange reason, Hashville's snow layer is unusually grey. This gained it the nickname, "The Grey Metro".

To the east of the city, is Lake Topo, named after one of the founding fathers of the city. The denizens rely on the lake for food and water.
