Kelowna, officially the City of Kelowna, is a city on the western coast of Zamastan, and is also the nation's 14th most populous city. As of the 2018 census-estimate, it has a population of 373,000. Founded in 1734, Kelowna became an important port for distributing coal and iron exports across the Skithan Empire. The city was also the site of the start of the Parabocan War in 1871, the Battle of Kelowna.
Kelowna was heavily devastated during the 8.3 magnitude 2019 Coastal Valley Earthquake. Over 3,400 people died in the city during the quake, and thousands more were injured. President Anya Bishop pledged to rebuild the city to a more prepared state for large scale earthquake tremors.
