Kenai

History
Kenai is a member of the Kenai Peninsula League, with allies Seward, Homer, and Soldotna. With a population of 13,024, Kenai is the largest of those cities, and as such faces the largest pressure in countering the might of Anchorage. The city also maintains good relations with Kodiak to the south. Kenai left the UN in 2125 at the onset of the oil crisis.

Government
Kenai is led by Mayor Tom Seal, who presides over a council of five total members, including himself. The members of the council, each elected by popular vote, are the mayor, the treasurer, the foreign minister, the innovation manager, and the minister of the interior. Each of the five serves a four year term, with the mayor and foreign minister being elected in the same year, and all others being elected one per year on a rolling basis. They cannot serve multiple consecutive terms, but they can be elected to a second term granted that someone else served a term in between.

Economy
Kenai's economy is primarily based on fishing and oil. They have access to a deep water port in the northern reaches of town, which they mostly use to ship to outlying Alaskan cities, although they do have a boat that makes two journeys a year to Hawaii. The economy survived the world crash in 2125 by selling to small markets, and remains a fairly affluent city.
