Balkan District

founding
The Balkan district of steam city was founded on the first of december 1918 on the sparsely inhabited eastern outskirts of the city.

It was founded after the Balkaner WW1 refugees settled there in hopes of a better future.

The troubles
At first, the balkaners were able to live side by side and work together to develop the district and improve living standards. It was, for a short period of among the most wealthy, clean and developed districts in the city. But these times would not last for very long.

The so called "troubles" started when a Croat thought that it would be a good idea to assassinate the at the time governor of the district, Dragan Miroljub, just because he was a Serb and it made the unnamed Croat feel like an outcast. He felt as if the Serbs were gaining more and more from the booming economy of the district whereas the Croats were getting poorer by the day.

Although the name of this one Croat has never been released out to the public. It is commonly believed that the assassin was none other than Jenkem Junkie. A well known schizophrenic.

During a sunny day on the 19th of August 1948, Dragan was holding a campaign for his reelection. He was on a wooden stage casually talking to the crowd of supporters he had gathered. Until something shocking happened, among the crowd of supporters was none other than Jenkem Junkie, who without hesitation pulled out his M1911 upon being recognized by the security guards and shot three shots at Dragan though only one of the bullets actually landed on target, it fatally injured Dragan. Fatally puncturing his aorta. Dragan passed away that very same day from excessive blood loss and internal bleeding.

The death of Dragan caused massive outrage within the Serb, Bosnian Serb, Krajinian Serb, and montenegrin communities of the Balkan district. Who believed that the assassination was planned out by both the Croatian and Albanian communities of the district and not an attack conducted by an mentally unstable individual. What added more fuel to the flames was when it was discovered that one of the two security guards who failed to save Mr.Dragans life, was a Croat, while the other one was coincidentally a Bosniak.

Full blown chaos reigned the district on the days following the assassination, as violent protests turned to outright riots. And eventually even full blown gunfights between then police and the protesters. After a few days, the steam city authorities were completely exhausted and decided that the Balkan district was a lost cause and not worth fighting for.

During the period of anarchy the Serbs formed a Gang to restore order in the district. They called it "Gaybania" because they wanted to offend the Albanians and other people they believed had wronged them.

During the first days of Gaybania, peace was successfully restored in the city, for a few days that is. A few days later the Albanians formed a Gang called "Gayserbia" in protest to the formation of "Gaybania". This led to a brief conflict between the two gangs. But Gayserbia was no match to Gaybania and the Albanians were completely erased from the district within the first six hours of the conflict. They seeked vengeance for a very long time after this but they would eventually give up and sign a deal with the Serbs.

You thought that the Balkan districts problems would end there? 🤣 No, they won't. After defeating GaySerbia peace was once more restored in the district. For a good year or so. As competitors came and went. Life in the Balkan district was once again going back to normal under the guiding hand of Gaybania. But oh, here comes the big locker bullies a gang made up of mostly Bosniaks +1 one Swedish goth femboy nazi. The big locker bullies declared war on Gaybania and managed to temporarily get the leader of Gaybania behind bars. after leaking his location to steam authorities. But the big locker bullies realized that getting one man behind bars was not enough to stop a horde of at the time around 150 Goat fuckers. So they decided to agree on a truce with no winners.

The status of the district
The district has been engulfed in utter chaos since 1948. The steam city foreign ministry advices against all travel to the district as the steam city authorities have no presence in the district and therefore cannot ensure the safety of steam users who visit.

The district has been somewhat restored, but gunfights are still a regular occurrence all around the city, corruption runs rampant despite there being no real authority in the city. that's how bad it has gotten.

There is no proper healthcare system in the Balkan district. Only clinics owned by cliques. All of them vary in costs greatly. The big locker bullies owned clinics offer the cheapest prices, but their offices are dirty, they use rusty equipment and their office spaces smell like mold. Gaybania offers slightly more expensive services but their clinics are clearly more high quality, not biased.
