San Juan Diego (Sequoyan: ᎦᏚᎲᎢ ᎬᎾᏕᎾ ᎾᏍᎦᏅᏅᎠ ᏧᎸᏫᏍᏓᏁᏗ ᎤᏲᎱᏒ; transliteration: Gaduhvi Gvnadena Nasganvnva Tsulvwisdanedi Uyohusv) is the capital city of the Creeperian department of Nuevo Amanecer. The city is the largest city in Nuevo Amanecer, and before its annexation to Creeperopolis, it was the third largest city in Sequoyah after Angeles and Nueva Vegas.
San Juan Diego is a port city on the Senvarian Sea, making it the most important city in Nuevo Amanecer. It is surrounded by swamps along the Mary River and is located just north of the Creeperopolis–Sequoyah border.
Most of the San Juan Diego's income comes from maritime and river trade with both Creeperopolis and Sequoyah. The city also has various factories and canning plants. Many Sequoyan tourists visit San Juan Diego due to its close proximity to the Sequoyan border, especially since it was a popular tourist destination before its annexation to Creeperopolis due to its Creeperian culture.
Etymology
The city of San Juan Diego is named after Juan Diego Ulloa y Batrés, a monk of the Creeperian Catholic Church who was martyred by the Caliphate of Deltino in 1232 during the Creeperian Crusade. The city was originally named simply "San Juan" by the Creeperian settlers who established the city, but at an unknown point after Creeperian rule of the city ended, the name was expanded to San Juan Diego.
History
Establishment
Kingdom of Sequoyah 1518–1876
Republic of Sequoyah 1876–2022
Creeperopolis 2022–present
In 1430, Creeperian Commander Gonzalo Vázquez Luján was commissioned by Creeperian King Miguel III to lead an expedition of Creeperian soldiers into modern-day Sequoyah with the intention of expanding Creeperian colonial ambitions south. His soldiers landed in modern-day Eastern Sequoyah in 1431, and there, he founded the Captaincy General of San Juan on 13 July 1431. He also established the San Juan Mission, and in effect, established the city of San Juan Diego, then known simply as San Juan. Vázquez Luján became the first Captain General of San Juan and also the first Mayor of San Juan.
Crime
The city is the headquarters of the Guarma Family, one of the largest organized crime families in Sequoyah, currently led by Emiliano Guarma Sonora. The Guarma Family operated a massive protection and extortion racket throughout the city, and the Guarma Family as funneled drugs from Creeperopolis into Sequoyah since 1951. The Guarma Family faces little prosecution due to the thorough corruption of the city's municipal authorities.
