Nilo City was the 2nd largest city in Yow Kingdom. It was located on the South tip of the island.
The city was will known for its great stadiums, and sport-related things. Nilo had large buildings, and some skyscrapers. It was also home to most of the diverse foreign language speaking Yowiens.

History
Nilo was a large port city, with many sport fans.
Nilo had ancient ruins on the Northern peninsula, which were built by the Hokjoks long ago. It is believed that the Hokjoks used the area, which Nilo is located in, for their fishing and boating economy. Back then the Hokjoks made money by selling fish to injured, or poor terns. For some reason the Hokjoks built a large temple, which collapsed five years before Alexander Clanin crashed on the island. It is believed that a Hokjok emperor lived in the temple, and ruled the Yowien Sea.
The city was established when Castillan merchant ships accidentally landed at the wrong spot, and started to build a city. It was discovered that they had built the city by Lisboagese merchants that were lost too. Soon the city was officially established in the Yow Kingdom. It was well prosperous, but when the Polarians invaded, many Castillans were called back to live in Castilla or its colonies. The Lisboaguese stayed, and the Zhouese immigrants took the Castillans' place.
Fall
Ironically enough, Nilo also fell to the Castillans in The Great Yowien War in 2013, when the Castillans launched a major offensive against the region. In a battle became what became known as the Nilo Offensive, the Castillan armed forces came together and shelled the whole region of Nilo, then following up with a major land invasion and an air battle. Nilon citizens had to hide in their basements and in the subway stations to prevent getting destroyed. After the fighting ended, the Castillans had completely controlled the desolate ruins that was once Nilo. All the citizens were deported, many of them fled to the USA and Polaris as refugees. After it was abandoned, the Castillans looted the remains of the city and turned the area into a large oil field after the discovery of oil was made on the island.
