New Summerset is a city in Ihazon. It is the second largest city in Ihazon and the main industrial centre worldwide, but is also host to important commercial companies. The rapid growth of the city has seen it rivalling Langenthal in areal size, but has a much lower residential density due to its large structures and industrial complexes.

History

New Summerset was the result of a series of tragic events leading to the ultimate destruction of a previous city of the same name, Summerset. It began in mid 2015 when Borisdotpercy tragically died of cancer after spending too much time on 5chan. HyperDuck volunteered to maintain the city of Summerset as Acting Mayor, until a new mayor was officially elected in the following year's general election. This never happened however, as there was no city administration building at the time to account for an election.

However, on September 11th 2015, female activists hijacked commercial flight FR1311 - direct from Langenthal International Airport (LIX) to Tinville Central Airport (TVC). After overpowering the pilots and crew with bottles of vodka, the hijackers lost control of the plane. It started veering to the left and eventually took a sharp nosedive from 420,000ft, plummeting into Summerset Farms and killing everyone onboard. One of the confirmed casualties was Metteliten, rest in peace. Thankfully, nobody on the ground suffered fatal injuries. However, Betsy the Cow got pretty scared and recieved medical attention from the local vet.

After these two terrible occurrences with just a few months of each other, the collective decision between the President of Ihazon, Togfan, and Acting Mayor of Summerset, HyperDuck, was made to raze the city to the ground and rebuild it in a new location. To preserve the original history of Summerset, the name was carried over to the new city, along with much of the building design. A new motorway extension was built, linking New Summerset to the other nearby cities via SV1.
