Barbtopia is a suburb of Masoarivo, located directly east of the city in a river valley. It was created by Barbasmas, the previous builder of Sainte Marie. It is de facto a town, but is commonly referred to as a suburb. It is unique to Madagascar for having the only Jazz bar, called the Sonrietta with I_Eat_Dookie as saxophonist. It is not connected to the National Railway even though it passes right through the city. A tram is instead planned to go between Barbtopia and Masoarivo.

History

Early history

The first trace of human contact in the area was from early December 2018, when Weston made a small wooden building in the proximity of the valley.

Later on, Weston would construct a large stone bridge passing the valley, with two tall fundamental pillars visible in the heart of Barbtopia. These pillars are the first human build in the valley. A builder of the National Railway called Barbasmas would travel to the area in late February 2019, to create a long sandstone bridge parallel to the older stone bridge, being the second and larger of the two bridges.

The only picture available of the river valley before the foundation of Barbtopia.

Barbtopia Period

In late Mars 2019 Barbasmas returned to Masoarivo to found his new town. The original chunk that the town was to be founded on was too close to Masoarivo, and the town center had to be moved past the ridge, right next to the river.

In a rapid rate the town would include a road net, a hospital, parkour, a social welfare office and the esteemed jazz bar Sonrietta.
