Amsterdam (Square One)

Amsterdam, officially the Amsterdam Associated Trade Zone, is an independent city-state located in the former Netherlands. Together with Calais, it is one of the two associated trade zones in Europe. It is surrounded entirely by the North German Confederation. It is a member of the European Union.

The majority of Amsterdam's economy relies on trade, and its boasts the largest seaport and airport in Europe. After the government of the Netherlands was unable to feed its population due to the shutdown of international trade, it announced a mass evacuation plan in 2029 to at least allow some of its populace to live on. Eventually, remaining members of the Dutch military seized control of Amsterdam and established a small state there in 2031, eventually becoming Europe's largest trade power.
