Long Description:

(Will be worked upon once I have time, but I thought I'd throw the concept out there for people chat about.)

Errr... Could I just add that, that is the worst name for a city? In Spanish, "la puta" means "the slut". I think you should get a different name... o.O

A Luputa's are also big parts of UFO Aftershock/Aftermath lore, I don't know if there related at all, but I have a nagging feeling this may be referencing that, and Im not sure if references are looked down in lore as they are in character creation.

[Jakers457]

It's a reference to Laputa, the flying island from Gullivers travels and also, from the movie Castle in the Sky. You know... Goes with the whole city in the sky thing.

[Rusty Shackleford]

If this is made, it would have to have a rather low population, or be spread out amongst multiple platforms. It actually might be less populated than Luna, methinks, because the lack of the ability to land on the surface poses a massive obstacle to population growth.

Also, Laputa was named because it meant "The Bitch." Swift was a satirist, after all.

(Just posted something almost the same as this, whoops)

Another thing worth saying is that by international agreement literally everything on Venus has been named after Female deities, or just feminine names in general. Not sure if this's gonna stick with our lore but I felt it worth mentioning.
