Petrova, Kingdom ofPetrova, officially the Kingdom of Petrova (Petrovar: Intgorane fi Petrova), is a country in Eastern Europe with one territorial claim, Athkovar Republic. It is located in the former southern "leg" of Russia. The country borders Russia to the north, Kazakhstan and Kardalistan to the east, Ukraine to the west, and Georgia and Azerbaijan to the south. West of Petrova is the Sea of Petrova, and east of Petrova is the Caspian Sea. Petrova's geographical shape is very similar to that of France. Its capital city is Chihiro(known locally as Qhiro). Petrova is a Constitutional Monarchy government, where there are two heads of the country: King Matthias I and Prime Minister Peter Reyes. Things from Petrova are known as Petrovan, while topics adressing people is known as Petrovar.

Petrova is the 2nd largest Eastern European country, and the 4th largest European country. The country has recently become a developed country in 2004. The country is one of the rare few countries that is extremely westernized and has recovered from the World Wars. The country is dubbed the "Entertainment Capital of SimEurope". Contrary to its Eastern European neighbors, Petrova is consired a Western European country economically and culturally. It is easily becoming a tourist haven in Eastern Europe, receiving 50 million tourists every year. Petrova is one of the first countries to join the Alliance of Independent Nations(AIN).

History

---

Founded in the mid 1900's, the present day country of Petrova is situated in the center of the map, between Russia, Ukraine, and Georgia. Though small in size (half the size of France), Petrova has gained the cultural admiration of Eastern Europe as well as Western Asia. But everything began in the late 1800's. Petrova was founded by the future Petrovan Royal Family, Naridah and Sergei Petravo. They were a poor family who settled in present day Chihiro, the country's cultural and political center. 

Soon after, the city of Chihiro was established, and prospered steadily until the world wars. The country became even more prosperous during the world wars after providing the vast Russian and allies armies with food and arms. When the technology revolution occured in the west, Petrova, like its neighbors were struggling with its economy. By the 80's, the country is home to over 40 million inhabitants. There were mass starvation, since the soil was barren and the southern half of Petrova is mountainous, until a genious farmer named Sim Bob Sim came up with the technique called "love thy soil". The idea was to water the soil with the special water found in the the Sea of Azov (now Sea of Petrova). The soil immediately became soft and allowed for farming. Around 1970, the people were fed up with the Russians not paying attention to them. The country of Petrova wasn't declared a country until the Petro-Russo Revolution in 1975. 

Economy

---

Petrova is known for its lucious soil and therefore the ability to produce wines, wheat, rice, soy and is currently number 5 in the top exporters of lumber. Petrova has a growing middle class and is gaining wealth every year due to its exports around the world. Petrova is also known for its rare diamonds found in the Caucus Mountains. 

Culture

---

Since the country is situated between Eastern Europe and Asia, Petrova truly is a melting pot of different cultures and people. They speak Petrovan and English and although there is 90% freedom, Roman Catholic is the prevailing religion. Although it is one of the youngest countries in the world, the Petrovan culture is very rich due to its Russian ancestry. There are numerous art, music, fashion and cultural institutions throughout the country. 

Petrovar Royal Family

Petravo Royal Family

Petrova is a ruled by the Royal Family of Petrova and the Petrovar Prime Minister. The Petrovar Royal Family is of mixed ancestry, and the current head of the country, King Dmitry was born in Pristina, Kosovo. The Petrovar Royal Family also contributed to Petrova's diverse culture due to King Dmitry being Albanian-Kosovar, while his wife, Queen Vera is of Canadian-Filipino roots. They have two children, the Dauphin of Petrova, Prince Matthias was born in the Bovino Palace, while his younger brother, Prince Igor, was born in the Palace of Bausmik in Predeccia. Both have been sent to other countries to study, and as a result, they have brought with them, French, American, Indian, Chinese, Greek, Italian, Latin and other cultures. However, there are rumors speculating about in the country as to whether there will be a rebellion for a republic.

House of Desceon

In September 2009, the then ruling family of Petrova has abdicated their throne, and has given the royal throne to their blood family, the House of Desceon. Today, the new King Andre and Queen Zivanna are the reigning heads of the country.

Petrova Today

---

Today, Petrova is a bustling and thriving country that stretches out to the Caspian to the Sea of Petrova (Sea of Azov), bordering Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan to the north and Georgia and Azerbaijan to the south. Petrova is among the fastest growing countries in the world, along with China and India, with a population of 30 million in just a century. Chihiro, the capital is the seat of the Royal Family who governs the country. Petrova is a constitutional monarchy. The largest cities in Petrova are Chihiro, Brytyavska, and Avenida Vista. Today, the city of Chihiro can be compared to Paris, and New York.

Introduction to Volume II

---

Volume I (my previous CJ) of Petrova showcases various places around the country, mostly the Capital Belt (Chihiro and its vicinity). Volume II will be focused on the completion of Chihiro, an introduction to other cities throughout the country such as Brytyavska, Tchaykvso and Sochi. Updates will be posted about every two weeks, but in between those updates, will be miscellaneous stuff such as newspapers from Petrova, simlympics updates, AIN stuff and other stuff, so hopefully you guys won't be bored! 

The reason I'm going to post updates every two weeks is because of time restraints. I realized that I am going to be very busy with schoolwork and therefore I barely have time to even play sim city. But at the same time, I don't want to be in a rush in posting updates that I give you guys crappy work. So I want to also give quality updates, and hopefully I can produce that every update!

Disney Comes to Petrova

 

Well, this I'm sure is a long awaited update. This update was inspired by my love of going to Disney World in Orlando. I promised y'all in the summer that I would make an update of DisneyPetrova and here it is! I tried to make this as real as possible, so please tell me what you think! DisneyPetrova is a theme park located in Ordona, Petrova(just 20 miles from Chihiro). There's also another theme park, Chipari Water Theme Park, so stay tuned for that. And of course, everyone at Simtropolis gets a free admission, so enjoy!

So this is it for today folks! Hope y'all had fun at DisneyPetrova! I'll update in two weeks showing what happend to the surroundings of the park. Now here's a question: where does the monorail lead to???

[Evillions 552]

Shouldn't it be bigger don't you think?

[Chptrk 86]

Wow! That is a great theme park! I'd love to go visit there! Great work!

[Muck308 55]

[Follarch 326]

Not really necessary,normally mid sized parks end up better looking than a bigger one.

Great update Peter,once more great work with the layout and planning of your theme park!

My Birthday Treat

Hi guys! So today, I'm turned 16 And I would like to share with y'all a special opening ceremony celebrating one of my favorite sports! (That and its a coincidence that the opening ceremony for the world cup is today haha) Anyways, I planned to make another update today, but seeing as today is the opening ceremony, that is my treat for you guys! So enjoy! 

Opening Ceremony of the 1st Sim World Cup

Live from Chihiro, Petrova

Welcome back to AINTv, and now is the beautiful opening ceremony of the sim world cup, brought to you in High Definition. We are live here at the beautiful Chihiro, Petrova for the opening ceremony of the first ever sim world cup! This is the first time the country has hosted a major sporting event. This ceremony is being watched by approximately 20 million people worldwide and other space right this minute! This will also be the last time the stadium, the Qhiro Athletistadium will be used, as the stadium will be put into another renovation phase for the upcoming Simlympic Bid of the country in 2010.

Stadium Narrator: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonight, fifteen countries from around the world will be competing in one of the most loved sports of all time: football. We welcome you to our country, Petrova, for the opening ceremony of the first sim world cup!

We are now at the stadium, where 60,000 await the countdown to the opening ceremony. The lights of the stadium suddenly dim, and then, the ground of the athletistadium is revealed, with what looks like water. Beats from the drums begin the countdown as the opening ceremony of the games of the world cup begins.

The crowd cheers as the opening ceremony has begun! A fireworks display is shown. 

And now its time for the artistic segment of the ceremony. The soccer field is revealed as hundreds of drumers marched out from the stadium grounds. They played traditional Petrovan folk music with an upbeat tone, then, children came out of the drummers and ran towards the field.

As the drummers circled the stadium track, the children were playing soccer. Wow! The crowd applauded. This really shows the symbolism of the youth as well as the spirit of soccer in these games. That is truly spectacular.

We now see a display of fireworks. This country has been working hard to show the world that we can host anything, from summits to entertainment events, but now, its a reality for the country to host a sporting event seen by millions around the world. Our next segment is called the anatomy of soccer.

The soccer field disappeared again, and the red ground is revealed. Eight yellow holographic beams came out of the edges of the stadium field and produced a holographic image of a soccer ball. Now folks, this is our centerpiece for the evening, and as it should! On the soccer ball, videos from Pele to David Beckham to Sim Bob Sim and other famous soccer players were projected onto the soccer ball.

After that, the beams disappeared and then as if the stadium turned into an airport at night, sparkling beams circled the track and the crowd went wild as the Parade of Nations commenced.

Stadium Narrator: These countries have come around the world to do one thing: share their passion of football. Now, let's meet them!

Perthshire
Toso Arroyo
Oriento Republic
Liseux
Tongolia
Republic of Nord
Territory of Trintra
Fairveiw and San Fransisco
Novland
Principality of Queens
United Republic of Escambia
Republic of Free Arabia
Federal Republic Of Arman


And.... our host country, Petrova!

Once the countries have filled up the stadium field, the crowds cheered non-stop. Then, the King of Petrova appeared and he gave a speech:

Athletes and Guests, welcome. I am pleased to show you my country and I am honored to host this event. We are here to not only play against one another, but to show peace. Now let's show the world the soccer cup they've been waiting for!

Crowds cheered as the sim world cup has now begun. Firework displays has lit the sky and went on for another ten minutes. 

Well, there you have it folks, the opening ceremony of the sim world cup! I hope you guys enjoyed this ceremony! From, Petrova, this is Peter saying good night!

 

[Muck308 55]

Happy Birthday! Great work with the graphics. So colorful!

[Schulmanator 5,787]

Happy birthday! Looks like a great opening day party.

[TmiguelT 10]

Happy Birthday !! and what a great start to kick off the games

[Viles 0]

As an Englishman, I cringe every time I hear the word 'soccer'. 

Other than that though, its great to see the world cup in sim city. You've done a great job with the graphics and the stadium.

Happy Birthday as well
