History
Férin was originally named as the city of Ferinh. It was a constructed by the rational communist state of Saboria, and was the temporary capital of  during the Canadian Crisis. After the referendum of 2009, the city was renamed to Eterna by the Disparu Committee. According to a recently declassified Committee document released by the Government, the city's name was changed to Eterna in order to disassociate it with its past.

The city served as the first capital of Disparu from 26 February 2009 to 27 July 2009, when the capital was moved to Jubilife (formerly ). The Government claimed that the capital was moved since the city was becoming congested, and the government needed a new city that was solely dedicated to governmental functions. However, a recently-declassified memo later showed that the Government moved the capital as it wanted to disassociate Disparu with its past.

The city was the site of several events in the Disparuean FLQ Crisis. The crisis began on 1 July 2011, with the destruction of the Eterna Stock Exchange (described as a "literal stock exchange crash") at the hands of the  (FLQ). The city was eventually taken over on 23 August 2011 by the FLQ after the Front stormed in and defeated the troops stationed within the city. During the attack, the Government began to evacuate some residents, as well as high-profile targets (such as politicians), out of the city. These efforts were somewhat unsuccessful, however, as a majority of the city's residents were still in the city when the Front completely took over. The Front would later arrest politicians and other Government employees unable to evacuate the city, deeming them all to be political opponents.

Two weeks later, the Front declared the city as the Technocratic Commune of Nouveau Saboria, a city-state independent from Disparu. Skirmishes between the Disparuean Forces and the Front immediately broke out, in an attempt by the former to bring down the Front and restore Disparuean rule in the city. The city's outskirts were also bombarded by Disparuean troops, though great pains were taken to ensure that civilians and Government assets in the city were not harmed.

The city was eventually retaken by the Disparuean Forces' Special Operations branch on 11 October 2011. At midnight, a nuclear weapon was detonated over the city. The resulting EMP blast knocked out electronics in the city, thus putting the Front at a severe disadvantage. Special Operations forces then stormed into the city, gunning down FLQ troops, and liberating the city sector-by-sector. The city was completely retaken by morning, and surviving FLQ members were immediately arrested. Over the next few months, the Government would spend billions in order to repair the damage caused by these events.

Following the dissolution of Disparu, the city was renamed to Férin after a referendum regarding the city's name. "Férin" is a Francophone version of the city's original name, Ferinh. The campaign to change the city's name to its original was led by both Paul and Platina Berlitz, both of whom were in the city's interim government at that time. The change was seen by many residents as last act of de-Pokémonization. The city's renaming was also unanimously supported by the city council's members.

Following the Second Quiet Revolution, the city was once again declared as Disparu's capital. In order to house the new Government's various institutions, the interim government commissioned the reconstruction of various buildings formerly located in the old capital. These buildings were formally opened following the re-proclamation of Disparu.

Sectors


The city is split into seven sectors, each being located in a different part of the city. They are Nord de Férin , Sud de Férin, Est de Férin, Ouest de Férin, the Communes de Férin and the Zone gouvernementale (Government Zone).

Citadelle de Férin


The Citadelle de Férin (also known as Château Eterna) is the official residence of the Administrator. It was also the first of the now-deposed Monarchy and his family. The Citadelle is located atop of Château Hill in the Government Zone.

The Citadelle also houses various museums in its various wings, and also serves as a possible meeting place for the Executive Council. The Citadelle is open to tours which occur several times a day, though security within the building remains high. In fact, there are many military installations throughout the building.

It is rumoured that the Citadelle is by the  of Caitlin Darach, its first occupant.

The building was originally built after the 's flight to the city following the Canadian Crisis in 2007. It was constructed under the leadership of then- Caitlin Darach as the seat of the Government of Canada. Most of the building's basic structure, such as its chambers, beams, defences and offices, was constructed before Disparu's eventual secession from Canada.

After the secession, the its building plans were immediately changed by Darach in order to convert it as the official residence of the Monarch. A, a , , bedrooms, halls, a personal  and several other rooms were added to make the building feel more like a proper home for the Monarch, while all but one government chamber was converted into other rooms. The final version of the building was completed on 15 March 2009 and inaugurated one week later on 22 March 2009. The building was immediately occupied by then-Queen Caitlin Darach after its inauguration.

The building fell out of use when the capital was moved to Jubilife, Darach's eventual assassination and Lance Pikachurin's rise to the throne. Pikachurin, and his family spent most of their time in Château Jubilife due to personal reasons, and only returned to the building for holidays or any important events in Eterna. The the building was only used for official ceremonies, celebrations and award ceremonies that involves the Monarch himself. The building finally lost its title as the official residence of the Monarch on 18 March 2011, when the title was awarded to Château Jubilife. The move was extremely trivial, as the Monarch and his family already spent most of their time in Château Jubilife.

Following the Second Quiet Revolution, and the restoration of the city's status as capital, the Château was renamed to the Citadelle de Férin to reflect the city's restoration. The Citadelle was then chosen as the official residence of the Administrator.
