History[edit | edit source]
Clarksbourg is located within a few miles of Lavrada, a historic Delveran city. Jordan Brizendine and Adam Brizendine, among several other citizens, attended school in the city historically. For this very reason, Clarksbourg is the focus of multiple projects of Delveran citizens, including Clarksbourg 2050. This initiative would see an embassy, park, capitol building, military facility, and residential area established in the city in the coming years. Clarksbourg was one of the sites of festivities of the Delveran Heritage Festival in 2020.
After the State of Delvera merge to Karnia-Ruthenia in 2020, the city became one of the most important cities of the Empire. On 09 November 2023, the city and the Bran District in the Commonwealth of Dracul signed a Memorandum of Understanding, officially declaring the cities as Sister Cities. The idea came about in a diplomatic meeting in late October 2023. The idea of sister cities is not uncommon, as many macronations around the world establish them each year. With the sister city agreement in effect, both cities can expect mutual support in the development of new social, economic and academic programs. Furthermore, the agreement aims to generate an improvement of the operation of the cities’ various government agencies by serving as a conduit of information[1].
