Tchaikovsky is a significant interior northern city, demarcating the most southerly extent of the Anglo-Russo-Hungarian Megalopolitan Complex.
Prominent economic forces in Tchaikovsky include forestry, agriculture, and intergalactic intelligence. The wood-like vegetation growing in bountiful proportions in northern Illuminatia inspired the forestry industry in this region. Unlike irresponsible forestry practices in the early industrial days on Earth, Illuminatia's forestry industry relies entirely upon renewable, sustainable growth managed from farmed crops, and this practice is illustrated impeccably throughout the region surrounding Tchaikovsky.
The city is also home to one of a few locales in Illuminatia dedicated to intergalactic intelligence operations, where observation and research occur for the purpose of establishing potential communication and trade with extraterrestrial civilizations potentially on the intergalactic scale, including with Earth. The largest institution of tertiary education in Tchaikovsky is the University of Factual Information, which is known for its strengths in geography, culinary arts, and linguistics. The city is represented in the National Sportsball League by the Tchaikovsky Dumpsterfire.
As of the 250 AI Census, Tchaikovsky had a population of 296,817 residents, making it the Illuminatia's 33rd-largest city. Tchaikovsky has experienced impressive growth since then and it is estimated the city will have a population over 780,000 by the 300 AI Census, an increase of more than 260% over 50 AU.
A secondary settlement city, Tchaikovsky was settled by members of the third multiversal duplication of the Lucidus I ship. Settlers here are close in lineage to settlers from Serenade and Lark Ascending.
Tchaikovsky was named in honor of an ancient Earthly composer of classical music.
