| '''Caracol''' is the second largest city in the metropolitan [[Villa Constitución, DF|Villa Constitución]] region, and the fifth most populous proper city in the [[Ardisphere]]. While most think of it as a "suburb" of the capital just to its north, in fact historically Caracol dates from the colonial era and is several hundred years older than its giant sister city, and at one point in the early years of the federation, Caracol was the country's largest city.
| | Founded in its modern form in the 1920s, since the election of its first successful presidential candidate, [[Eva Shinoda]], in 1930, the party has fronted 8 of the last 14 presidents and occupied the [[Casa del Sol]] for 44 of the last 84 years, including the current incumbent, [[Montserrat Nowak de Chang]]. |
|
| |
|
| Caracol's current population is about 304,000 inhabitants, in a land area of 133.9 km<sup>2</sup>.
| | Under Shinoda and her successor [[Andrés vonder Brücke]], the Partido Socialista has been the primary creator of the so-called "Consenso moderno" (modern consensus), bringing the Ardisphere into its prosperous and peaceful contemporary status. Through a careful admixture of regulated capitalism, internationalism, and social welfare policies, the party has fundamentally realigned Ardispherian society. Not a single paragraph of the original [[1925 Manifesto]] is not now also a plank in the opposition's platform. |

| | Despite the extensive social reforms under President [[Yuna Namgung]] starting with her election in 1900, various socialist and communist parties continued to agitate for further change. The union activist and author of several widely-distributed tracts on the need for "revolutionary socialization" in the Ardisphere, [[Pancho Ulianof]], managed to organize several groups under his umbrella organization, the [[Falange Vanguardista]], in 1907. This organization had some success in backing candidates in the 1910s, but it was not a party in the traditional sense, and because of Ulianof's unrelenting advocacy of the use of violent means, the organization had difficulties with the authorities, too. |

| Caracol has its own tram and bus systems, but this system is fully integrated to the regional transit system. Several MetroVC lines pass into or through the city, including lines 3, 5, and 11, while line 4 parallels the city limit with Villa just north of the line. The commuter rail "Black Lines" have their home station at Caracol's Pittsbourg station, extending westward to Calle 29 station and Central de VC station, and eastward to many suburbs and points southeast. The "Blue Lines" commuter rail operate on the Black Line trunk through Caracol as well, offering connection to other eastern suburbs and extending all the way to [[Ciudad Quiroga, DS|Ciudad Quiroga]] and [[Quentín di Battista, DC|Quentín di Battista]] on the federation's eastern border.
| | Although by international standards the party is considered quite moderate, it remains committed to its socialist and [[Luciano Doon d'Orange|Doonist]] ideals, and maintains a vocal membership in the [[Sixth International]], the international organization of leftwing parties and organizations. |

|
| The metropolitan region's chief ferry terminal is also located in Caracol, in the Embarcadero neighborhood at MetroVC Line 3 Terminal de Transbordadores station. Ferry service to [[El Cabo, DS|El Cabo]], [[Sailtown, DS|Sailtown]] and international locations is available.

| Historically the city's economy is linked to its port facilities, as well as the refineries and chemical industry in the eastern districts. However, recent decades have seen a redefinition of the city's colonial core and formerly run-down canal districts as an arts-focused, knowledge economy magnet zone. Many colonial structures and warehouses have been converted to lofts and high-tech business offices, and the consumer electronics giant [[Saehan Group]] opened a chip plant in the Juan López Bogosian neighborhood in brownfields straddling the [[Ría del Fangal]].

| = Culture =
| |
| | |
| Caracol is reputed to be the most "laid back" city in the Ardisphere, with thriving arts, alternative music and literary scenes. Many "alternative" lifestyles can be found along its beaches and canals, including the famous Colectivo de Locos in the Zabalcunde neighborhood, which attempts to live an urban lifestyle "off the grid" in a kind of effort to recapture the pre-Civil War syndicalist currents of Ardispherian culture. Their street art, rooftop and streetside vegetable gardens, and ''ad hoc'' architecture have become a significant tourist draw, and was recently acknowledged by the mayor, [[Ximena Ata]], as a "modo legítimo de vivir, que debemos celebrar." She has worked hard to ensure city services are extended (where desired - there are many that the Locos do not want), and passed a law altering the squatters-rights framework for the city in such a way that favors collectives of this sort.
