Takadokia (previously known as The Midlake Island(s), New Sardinia and New Northwest Verico) is a town located at the southern part of Lake Ganaz. It was originally founded by players LolePlay_PL and HY_Turkic. It was first founded in September 2019, and it grew and grew, and growing to a point where it had control of almost all the islands in the southern part of Lake Ganaz. While Lole was gone, HY, with the help of a few contributors, made the settlement bigger and bigger.
It has a Nexus link that connects to South (Lime) Hub 3, which is located in Takadokia Velazzo Station in the district of Velazzo. Vizima is the nearest warp, and is about 1000 blocks away.
General Information
Takadokia is located about 14000 blocks away from spawn and is basically a town built on the ocean and a few scattered islands. It has a few notable landmarks, including the massive Takadokia Lole Station. While the overall area of the town is massive (having an area of around 800,000 blocks), most of said area is ocean rather than actual landmass. Most of the buildings in Takadokia are located in small and spread-out islands, which are connected by vast roads made of cobblestone and ice (the latter being for fast travel).
It is self sufficient for the most part, with it having an animal grinder with pigs and cows. The most urbanized and building-populated district is Velazzo, home to most of the apartments and the Governor's Office, not to mention Takadokia Velazzo Station, which includes the Nexus link and the Nether portal. The oldest district is East Midlake Island, with it being the origin of Takadokia and the location of the East Midlake Museum, which features recreations of old builds on the island and the oldest building in the entire town, the East Midlake Rest-Base.
Districts
Districts are administrative divisions of Takadokia, some of which make up historical states. Each piece of land in Takadokia is in or around one of these districts.
In the past, there were two types of divisions; regions and states/cities. States (later known as cities) were small areas of land that existed as real divisions of Takadokia. Regions were bigger groupings of land, and states/cities were brought together in regions based on their geographic location and other factors.
The states/cities/towns system was abolished since they were too small, and the former regions were turned into districts.
Velazzo
Velazzo is the capital district of Takadokia, being made of three islands; Velazzo, Freska and Vysoky. It was created when the districts of Asariguene, The Modiki Islands and Nortlagos were combined. It contains the Nexus link of Takadokia and the Bashkan's office. It is also the location of HY's Newer Base. The name Velazzo mainly derives from two words from different languages meaning "middle"; wasata (Arabic) and mezzo (Italian), with the wa- and -ezzo.
Velazzo Island is the biggest island in the district, and by extension, Takadokia. Vysoky Island and Freska Island are very close in size. Vysoky, originally named Etrieri, means "tall" in Czech, referencing the music tower of Vysoky being very tall. Freska Island comes from the old name of the town that used to be on it, Puerto Freska, and it is a feminine version of 
Freskooo's name
The land that one day became part of Velazzo was first claimed as the Southern Territory back in early February 2020, and said territory became the state of New Azerbaijan later on. Not much later, the Modiki Islands were founded and then later Nortlagos. They were separate states/districts for months, until they were united in December 2020.
It also houses Takadokia Velazzo Station which, unlike its much bigger cousin, Takadokia Lole Station, isnt made to provide FRS services (even though the FRS road branching out from TLS connects to the station), rather it is made to house the Takadokia Nexus link and Nether Portal. The building was originally just referred to as "Takadokia Nexus Link" before this change.
The Midlake Islands
The Midlake Islands district consists of the East, West and South Midlake Islands. This district is the birthplace of Takadokia, and East Midlake Island holds historical significance. It was the capital of Takadokia before HY decided he wanted the capital to be at the centre of Takadokia. It houses the East Midlake Museum, where the old artefacts and buildings inside of East Midlake Island lie.
In addition to all of these, this district is the most northern main Takadokian districts and, while Old Loletown takes the cake for being the most northern district overall, The Midlake Islands is the most northern district in the main area.
Grande Sardinia
Grande Sardinia was the third state created for the New Sardinian Federation around February 2020. It originally started as Project Vizima; a bridge building project that would connect then-New Sardinia to the warp city of Vizima. It was later renamed to Project Grande Sardinia and was transitioned from a bridge-building project to a state-building project, where the cultural and political centre of New Sardinia would be. It was to be split into to states; Fondare and Grande Sardinia, the former of which would've been the political centre and the latter would've been the cultural centre. If Project Vizima was considered part of Grande Sardinia's history, then it would be the second district, but the establishment of Project Grande Sardinia is thought of as when Grande Sardinia was created. Even though HY thought of it as a district for a long time, he didn't officially incorporate it as a district until January 2021.
Nea Makedonia
Nea Makedonia is a Greek-inspired district. It is about the third biggest district, after Loletown, Hafkletta and North Gazan, by size. It contains a humungous apartment built by 
Kotobuki_. It also contains the Bunker Museum.
Debulane
Debulane is the most eastern district of Takadokia. It doesn't house much and is uncompleted and abandoned, with it still having the town borders. It contains a mosque and apartment, both under construction.
Verican Lebanon
Note: This district is not part of the Republic of Verico, only its name references Verico.
Verican Lebanon is the second most southern district; second to Hafkletta. It used to contain Takadokia's Nether portal (until it was moved to TVS). It currently contains one apartment. It is based on the country of Lebanon.
It was named due to a sign on the island saying "claimed by Verico" (presumably placed by Beeraeka), but HY wanted to build on the island so he started digging the island anyway. he put the sign on a tower so it wouldn't be grief. HY now realises it was grief to build the tower around the sign, and he sorted it out with 
Eclypto18 and Beeraeka confirmed that Verican Lebanon was part of Takadokia in Discord DMs.
Verican Lebanon was supposed to be renamed to "Sardinian Lebanon" after New Northwest Verico became independent, but HY kept the old name anyway, and thus today it is the only district in Takadokia to have a relation to Verico in its name.
Hafkletta
Hafkletta is one of two main districts that is located on the mainland, i.e its not an island. It was founded around April 2020, and is an Iceland-based district due to the area that would become Hafkletta being snowy. It is the most southern district in Takadokia. Currently, it is almost empty with few builds.
North Gazan
North Gazan is one of the biggest districts and, as its name suggests, is in the northern parts of Lake Gazan. It was founded on December 21st, 2020.
Old Loletown
Not to be confused with Loletown 2.0, a city founded by LolePlay_PL near Takadokia.
Old Loletown is a big district, located about 3,000 blocks away from the main islands. Before merging it consisted of two former districts; The Free State of Loletown and Sardinian Eden, and they were combined for convenience. It is the only district of Takadokia not located in or right next to Lake Gazan. Its merger took place on 21st of December, 2020. It is the location of HY's first house, Lole's old base, and a mini version of New Eden. It is a bit of a special place for HY since it is the location of his first ever house and, by extension, his first build ever on McO. The district is named after HY's old friend, LolePlay_PL.

Transportation
In Takadokia, there are a few means of transportation for travel within or to the town.
Bridges
Takadokia is full of cobble bridges that connect the districts together and it predates any other means of transport within/to the town. Sometimes there are a few 2-block wide gaps with trapdoors to let boats pass through.
Ice Road
The Ice Road is Takadokia's attempt at making a fast-speed transport system and it was inspired from the Ice Highway of New Eden, and once HY saw them he wanted to build a version at his own place. Although the Ice Road is slower than its New Eden counterpart, it is faster than just running. In the Ganaz districts branch of the Ice Road, it encircles the district of Velazzo, with the stops being around those edges. It was recently renovated for it to be smoother so less turns were to be put. It has branches in the Ganaz districts of Takadokia and the district of Old Loletown. There is also an old branch in the former United Duchies of North Sand Island that now belongs to Sand Island and the company that regulates Takadokian Ice Roads does not regulate the one there.
The Ice Road is regulated by the Takadokian Ice Road Company.
Transport Stations
In Takadokia, there are two stations which provide transport services to and from Takadokia.
First, there is Takadokia Lole Station, which was made to provide FRS rail and road services, of which the former is not completed yet. It was started construction around mid-May and the building was completed around mid-June of 2020. It was built around the border of Takadokia because at that time it was all ocean.

Trivia
- Takadokia has had 6 names so far in its history.
- "Midlake" in Midlake Island(s) came from the combination of "middle" and "lake", which indicates that it is at the centre of the lake. However, this is not true.
- New Sardinia came from the name of the real life island of Sardinia, owned by Italy. HY chose this name because he was watching a video about Italian Unification while thinking of names.
- New Northwest Verico, Takadokia's name during Verican occupation, presumably (because Beeraeka named it) came from the fact that the town is the in the northwest of Verico. Surprising!
- Takadokia's name comes from the Arabic word for "progress" (taqadum) and the name for the ancient city of Cappadocia, which itself comes from the Old Persian word Katpatuka which means "place below" in Hittite.
- Takadokia Lole Station might be one of the biggest FRS station buildings in all of Freedonia, with many shops and room for many more of said shops. Though this station isn't operational just yet.
- Takadokia could be interpreted as a bridge across the giant lake, and its Ice Road helps people to travel very fast across the lake. It currently stretches from all the way from East Midlake Island to the district of Hafkletta.
