Republic of Grazailia

[thinboy66 6]

Welcome to my first City Journal, Republic of Grazailia

National Flag:

The Green means the Evergreen Forest, Blue means the Grazailian Sea, Red means the blood of the soldiers that fought for Freedom, and the Golden Yellow stands for the Desert to the West

Introduction:

On a planet called Planet Sim, where our world is mixed together with fantasy. Everything is the same, except that we are the gods, we are the controllers. Controlling sims and be a mayor to run for a city.

Republic of Grazailia was once a settlement for the Grazailian Empire, the strongest empire on Planet Sim. But because of many uprisings within the empire, it eventually collapsed. At the same time, the Nesbian Empire attacked. Grazailia was in a complete mess, until a hero named Defacto came into Idonbrook and reunited the Grazailians against the Nesbians.

After the Nesbian War, Defacto was elected the first Prime Minister of Grazailia and he started his journey of governing Republic of Grazailia, which eventually became the strongest nation in the region.

[jacqulina 162]

very nice start and intro my friend,great history .excellent pics wonderfull night shot

[Patricius Maximus 236]

This is the greatest CJ introduction I've seen in a long time! It has a good backstory, and the RHW really adds to it. 

If this is a sample of what's to come, I'll be looking forward to it 

[Schulmanator 5,787]

An excellent start! The city looks terrific at night.

[psander5 195]

Cool! This is the first example i've seen where the Burj Dubai doesn't look too out of place. I can't put it into any of my cities! The nightshot is excellent. I'd like to see some of those dark spaces illuminated though. I'm interested in seeing what you've done with them!

[penguin007 27]

Nice start looks to be a huge city there!!! Cant wait to see more

wonderfull update my friend excellent work and pics,great night shots.

[thinboy66 6]

Sorry about the late update due to RL. I'm also sorry about the small update today.

Update 3(quite small):

Carisa: Town Outside the Capital

& GER (Grazailian Express Railway) Central Station in Idonbrook

Grazailian Express Railway Central Station

Because of the Central Station, nearby Commercial and Residential Districts have grown in a incredible rate.

Carisa

Population: 3814 (2008 Census)

Carisa is a small town west of Idonbrook. It is a very peaceful town with large amounts of retired R$$ and R$ who can't afford the high urban taxes and expensive apartments.

Carisa has a small portion land used as Manufacturing Industry and High Tech Industry.

There, you can see the M14 cut through the forest.

[jacqulina 162]

[penguin007 27]

Jacqulina: Thank you very much.

Penguin007: Thank you to you too.

Mini-Update:

This interchange took me an hour to only plan and construct...

Not so sure what it is, but I think it's a T-Interchange with a 1/2 Avenue Interchange.

Constructed in the countryside of Montel De Trise.

[thinboy66 6]

Just a small update before I sleep:

Lar Pam de Riveres-Night overall shot

My first city I have ever built in Simcity 4. Used to be horrible until I hear a gigantic, wonderful fansite called Simtropolis.

Carisa-New Developments?

The mayor of Carisa had decided to change the northern part of the small peaceful town Carisa. The development will bring in more residents for taxes. Note the townhouses...

Fortunately, the southern end of Carisa will stay the same way-a suburb, for now.....

Stay tuned for the next update!

Love the creativity, can't wait to see more.

[roboo1 1]

Nice! I especially like the french buildings around thr roundabout

[thinboy66 6]

Replies:

Rugar: Thanks!

Roboo1: Yea, they are pretty nice. I think they are in Porkie's Paris Building Pack...

Update Time:

San Marco - Population: 380478

San Marco is the second largest city in Grazailia, belongs to the Coastline Development Union sponsored by Province of Alimenta.

San Marco is the Capital of Alimenta, also the largest(obviously).

Alimenta Provincial Legislature with 2 Bus Stations for San Marco Horacio Intl. Airport

Note the Airport Tram:

This station had been used way too much for Horacio Intl. Airport and Long-Range Buses. San Marco city government had decided to lower fares of HSR line that goes to the Airport.

San Marco Downtown Core:

Stay tuned for the next update!

[jacqulina 162]

great looking interchange,beautifull night shot of your city.very nice new development too.great coastline too my friend.

[tigerplayer91 3]

Very nice update!

Great skyline its extremely bright lol the night time modd

totally works for you city setting.

How about some sea walls though to keep the

waters at bay?

Just a suggestion, everything else looks amazing!

Jacqulina: Thanks!

Tigerplayer91: Thanks! Nice to see you here! The thing about seawalls is that the coast is irregular and the coastlin is not quite sharp, but smooth.

Update 5:

Alexandria: Population- 86542

2 Pairs of Double Towers(Landmark of the city!)

-Ignore the zots please...

Alexandria is quite of a small modern city. All of its historical features were wiped out during the Nesbian War(sighs).

Cape Vernon International Race Circuit

This is quite of a confusing race track... Cape Vernon also has a radio telescope due to the advantages of being on the top of the mountain and away from the city.

 

Turtle Island Cruise Ship Port and Resorts

Turtle Island is one of the place that every cruise should stop. There are small but fine diners serving delicious food(grilled shrimp, grilled fish, lobsters, etc.), and wonderful hotel( there's only one - Island Hotel - 5 star)

The Sea Princess and the Star are parking at the port.

The blue building on the right is Island Hotel.

 

[roboo1 1]

Nice! I would suggest you to us a smaller ship instead the large one. It would look more realistiv

Roboo1: Sure, thanks for your suggestion!

Update Time:

Picture Information: None of them have been photoshopped in ANY way. Remember to click on them for full resolution!(1680X1050)

Idonbrook reaches population of 1 million! To celebrate this, I will give a new update!

Idonbrook City Airport

The runway is actually long enough for a Boeing 757, so the 737s don't have to warry about skyscrapers on runway approach.

Idonbrook City Airport only serve CRJs, DC-3s and 737s

The most recent development in Idonbrook

 

The twin buildings at the bottom are called the Puzzle Apartments, guess why!

Idonbrook Central District and Chinatown

Again first commenting after your update I like the terminal. Was it hard to make it triangle-shaped???

-roboo1

[jacqulina 162]

wow looking very nice my friend,excellent night shots

[Twenty20 28]

Nice and dense city, I love the night shots too, very realistic work !

[thinboy66 6]

Happy Canada Day and Independence Day!

July 1, 2008. Hope everybody enjoys a wonderful Canada Day and an early celebration for people who are celebrating Independence Day!

Roboo1: You're lucky to be the first replier again! Yes the terminal does takes some work(ploping all of my airport pieces...).

Jacqulina: Thank you very much!

Twenty20: Thanks for your comments on the night mod and realism!

Thank you to everyone for supporting this CJ. It will now be closed.
