Thneedville

"We open in Thneedville, a city they say that was plastic and fake, and they liked it that way! A town without nature, not one living tree. So, what happened to them? Cue the music! Let's see."

- The Lorax

Thneedville is a fictional dystopian economic religious city-state located within the Truffula basin. It was founded in the autumn of 1898 by the Once-ler. Thneedville was named after the Thneeds, a multipurpose versatile fabric that was immensely popular throughout the world.

Thneedville was designed to promote the sale of Thneeds, as at that time there were no large centralized locations where the trading of goods could occur. The Once-ler took position as the first mayor during this time. After the climax of the Truffula Valley Ecological Disaster, trade within the city drastically decreased and the Once-ler exiled himself from Thneedville. Afterwards, Aloysius O'Hare was unanimously in voted as mayor after the public popularity of his company, O'Hare Air.
