| Cangrejos held a dominant position in Zothique's political landscape, self-styled as '''SPQR''' (Senatus Populusque Cangrejos, after the Roman Senate). The Cangrejos Trust maintained virtually all major Nether infrastructure, with construction dates stamped on maintenance signs across the network between 2016–2017. A '''First Bank of Cangrejos''' handled inter-city currency exchange, and the city maintained an active '''Metro''' system, shopping district, casino, nightclub, and public radio station. | | felixdeportu founded Cangrejos circa 2015. The city's core is anchored by the '''Town Plaza''' (~486, 70, 1863), with '''Club Alexandria''', '''Koryo Casino''', and a hotel occupying the central district (r.0.3).
