Fischbach is a major city in Wikiland. It is one of the fastest-growing cities in the country, primarily due to its origins as the location of the prison where Death Row played, as it was in a land unknown to pretty much everyone. As such, baseball is the city's favourite sport.
After Death Row lost against the New York Mets, which caused its immediate disbandment, local baseball players created its spiritual successor. They play their home games here to this day.
History
What is now the city of Fischbach traces its origins to the prison where Death Row were based. As the team got more and more exposure for its winningness, what started as a couple of nearby spectators grew into an army of fans. As such, the local ballpark grew to a capacity of about 10,000 spectators. Their long winning streak would end after their devastating loss to the New York Mets. This caused the entire city to enter a period of mourning. Fans begged the police not to kill the players, but alas, they were killed on the spot in New York, far away from the new city. The pressure of the fans forced the prison to close, and it now serves as a museum for the late Death Row. The city was renamed Fischbach in memory of one of the team's most prominent players, Mark Genuine. Similarly, a new phoenix club was established by local fans. Death Row 2 now plays at the home ballpark of its predecessor, and due to its huge success and passionate fanbase, Wikilandian Professional Baseball declared it a new member. Later, at a nearby local football pitch, Death Row FC was established as a division of the now multi-sport club, currently playing in the provincial leagues, albeit not in the top flight of provincial football.
Notable landmarks
On the outskirts of town, by a nearby stream, the Ga'Hoole Juvenile Memorial Zoo was established. It is a smaller zoo, with 16 enclosures. Even then, it provides for a memorable walk in nature. Meanwhile, the downtown Vapo Sea Devil Memorial Aquarium showcases a newly arrived pair of nerpas alongside a collection of fish.
