The dilapidated house that comprises the main area of Hooverville was constructed during the homesteading era in the 1960s. The house is a ranch style cottage built from a plan provided by Homestead Supplies, Inc., a company which specialized in home building kits for desert areas in California. This particular model was "The Chalet" which was constructed at a cost of $1,595 ($16,741 USD in 2025) sometime around 1963. The 425-square foot structure was partitioned into three rooms: living area, bedroom, and bathroom.

'''Hooverville''' is a city in the [[Colony of Calsahara]]. It is the only permanent structure in the entire colony.

==History==
The dilapidated house that comprises the main area of Hooverville was constructed during the homesteading era in the 1950s. It was built from a standard plan used by several other homesteads that were built around the same period on the [[Carrizo Plain]]. The house was abandoned at some point over the past thirty years and has been left to decay in the elements since its original owners departed.

===Annexation by Calsahara===
In January 2011, when Calsahara was still a [[Westphalian model|sovereign nation]], Hooverville was the target of its government's imperial ambitions. The [[King of Calsahara]] led Calsahara's military unit, [[His Majesty's Corps of Engineers]] on a mission to acquire the dilapidated structure. When the King and his soldiers approached the house, a large white barn owl flew away, leaving the property entirely undefended.

[[Grand Duke Travis|King Montague]] and his soldiers stood on the steps of Hooverville and claimed the property on behalf of the people of Calsahara.

===Liberation by Westarctica===
[[File:Hooverville - Group1.jpg|400px|thumb|The Westarctican Royal Guards standing in front of Hooverville]]
During the [[Invasion of Calsahara|Liberation of Calsahara]], Hooverville was considered a vital target for the [[Westarctican Royal Guards]]. Shortly after [[Otisburg]] was overrun, the Royal Guards marched on Hooverville and victory was proclaimed from the house's broken steps.

==Details==
Hooverville is the largest and most developed city in Calsahara. Inside the structure, there are two large owl nests and several hundred pounds of owl pellets lying on the floor of the house. The structure itself is largely gutted and there are no interior walls separating the rooms.

It is considered one of the major highlights of any tourist visit to Calsahara and is a short distance from the [[Seven Seas of Rhye]].
