ILITJ (Reuters) - N. Korean nuclear test is "unfortunate but will not

disturb the exchange of  technology between Rodina and North Korea"

Rodinian officials said today. "Rodina supports the People's Republic's

need of protection against western imperalism and decadence."

Rodina (Socialist state of) is still under suspicion of supporting N.Korean

and Irani nuclear programs, and the US government has several times

threatened Rodina with "severe consequences".

The Obama administration has yet to comment on the matter.

Greetings comrade!

Visiting your classic CJ is always a pleasure! I must say, the way you use the German Daylight Signals is the best way maybe I ever I saw in A CJ (with the exception of Urland but my own CJ doesn't count here)! 

These kanals look wonderful and that lock / phydro power plant(? ) is just breathtaking! 

Take care my friend

Ilitj - Staromesto

Samok (Ilitj Castle)

When the Kipchak khanate begun to disintegrate in the mid 14th century, the Rodinian population on the western side of river Ilja managed to gain independence by assassinating several high Kipchak officials and military leaders.

Under king Urik (elected 1353) the Rodinians built a fortification and castle on top of the Gusjin rock. The castle was finished 1363. The oldest houses still standing in present-day Ilitj were built during this period.

Ilitj castle and Starograd, the oldest part of Ilitj.

[De Ja Vu 117]

What a fantastic looking castle! Every building fits well with the surrounding area! Where did you get those buses? Where can I find them in LE?

[krbe 193]

Holy! ...how? This must be one of the finest examples of lotting I've ever seen. Oh, and my thoughts go to the poor Scandinavian bus tourists up there, they have a long journey ahead of them.

Not exactly the most popular concept (socialism) but those images are tricked out! I to this day have no understanding to how people edit in those crowds and and formations of sims.

Everything in the images look very well put together, be proud of your CJ.
