    Well as promised the MIT tour!!!Lets start!!

    This is where it begins, at Hwy 39, from there it goes south and then west, then south again.

    mit1.jpg

    From there, the first exit is in Jubilee:

    mit2.jpg

    It then curves east toward Westport

    mit3.jpg

    It turns south for the last time and merges into 3 lanes.

    mit4.jpg

    Next is Exit 2, which goes to downtown westport.

    mit5.jpg

    After that, the tollway goes into Tuscaroa City, where it's first exit is rural.

    mit6v.jpg

    The next exit leads to Westport's Fairgounds:

    mit7.jpg

    The final exit on the highway.

    mit8.jpg

    and this is where it all ends. Enjoy it!!

    Well, region update:

    regionupdate12.jpg

    As part of Timbucktu's punishment for attacking Nomadistat, Hammishsmith and Nomadistat want to divide it into colonies.Here's the current map of the world. The lines in Timbucktu are Timbuktu's providences. According to the rules, each country gets two providences and no country can control Timbucktu City or Deharber. As well, Timbucktu will keep hold of one providence.

    worldmap.gif

    and what each country(Except the UC) wants. A conference in Paridise Island will vote on this.

    worldcoloinization.gif

    I oppose this, because the UC fears that what happened after European Colonization in th 1800s will happen again with this. I have a poll for you:If you lived in the UC, would you back or oppose this?

    @Schulmanator:
    The MIT yes. The airport no.
    @jrnavid: maybe, but the slope is too much for construction.
    @kakado_to_save:Probably, since they won't develop anyways.
    @StanislavSoltys: That is fixed now.
    Well anyways, this afternoon I have something special. Do you remember the sign pack I made for my CJ and was on the STEX?Well, my V 1.2 is coming out later today, and i fixed some texture errors and now the signs are in stunning HD rendering!!
