Ochay is by far the newest city on the island, the result of a massive project to construct a neutral meeting ground for the people to talk administration and other such matters - the capital, in official parlance - that was started 1985 and not completed until 1989. When it was completed, a grand ceremony was held that is replicated every year on September 19th as Completion Day. Since then, the city has dutifully served it's designated task as the unofficial official administrative center of the island, and a popular tourist destination as well. The city is rather unique for the island, being nestled between the Stanart and Southwest Ranges instead of the forested or shoreline locales that the other cities populate. The most recent public works project on the island was the construction of Ochay International Airport in 2003, so that the island would be able to accept flights from larger planes, and thus from further away destinations. The city is known for it's pretty scenery, blend of cultures, and rich food scene.
Revolution Square is the center of Ochay - both the town and the island - consisting of the main meeting places for communual representatives, a number of related office buildings, a grassy park with a reflecting pool, and even the servers this website is being hosted on. The designs were extensively checked by the people to ensure that the Square was something that every Ochayan could be proud of, and as such, it still stands today as a symbol of unity and strength, clad in marble and glass. The buildings of most interest are probably the Grand Communual Hall, facing west off 1st Street, and the Progress Building to the opposite of said Hall. The Hall is where island-wide decisions, when they need be made, are decided, as well as a host of other administrative tasks. The Progress Building is mainly a museum of the history of Ochay from start to finish, though it also handles some administrative issues. In addition to it's very important work helping administrate the island, the Square also has a brilliant view of the rest of the city - the reflecting pool was designed so that it never appears to 'end', and instead the city simply rises up after it. The Funicular has it's northern terminus at the Square.
Ochay was built on a series of steep foothills of the Southwest Range, and as such city planners wanted a quick, cheap, and pleasant method of getting from one end of the city to the other. Their solution was a funicular, a kind of tram designed to be ran on a steep incline. The Ochay Funicular splits the city in half in it's route, running from the intersection of 7th and Bakunin all the way to the Progress Building in Revolution Square. Due to significant usage, the Funicular was recently expanded to have a second track. The Funicular is seen by many as the second pride of the city - after Revolution Square, of course - due in part to it's continous operation since the first trip up to the Square in 1990.
Before the city was itself, the land surrounding it was home to a number of small Mountain Men villages - US soldiers who went AWOL during the Vietnam War. Taking a liking to the island's atmosphere, these men snuck away from their camps and hid in the mountains to evade detection. Some of them tried to return home, or integrate into other cities, but a good number of them kept in their makeshift villages, living off the fat of the US Army and it's installed regime whenever they could. It was the Mountain Men that contributed a great deal to the victories in the May Revolution, and even the ones who offered the spot for the city itself. As such, the Mountain Men Musuem, located across from the Funicular's western terminus on 7th and Bakunin, was opened not long after Ochay was inagurated. The museum features a wealth of artifacts, first-hand accounts, and even real Mountain Men on hand to talk about their experiences.
Ochay is one of the more well-connected of cities on the island, serving as the northern terminus for the Paradise Line railroad that connects Astor, Frolov, and Ochay itself, and being home to Ochay's only long-range airport Ochay International Airport. Within the city, Ochay Transit offers bus services as well as the aforementioned Funicular up the city. Highways 1 and 41 serve the city, 41 outlining Revolution Square and 1 serving as the western edge of the town.
