Make up for it

Hi,

The city over the years has earned the title ‘Rangilo Rajkot’ and the exuberance of the people more than make up for it.

Is the structure of this sentence like the below:

[The city over the years has earned the title ‘Rangilo Rajkot’ and the exuberance of the people] more than [make up for it]? and,

what des it mean here by "make up for it"

who make up for it ?

I thought it just means 'The city has earned the two things above all by itself'?

Am I wrong here ?

Thank you!
