Here is the coinage that the Impero Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Ivory Soapstone Cartel was talking about.
Picture 232.1

If you have coins you have to have a place to put them. Here is the first bank of the pumba region.
Picture 232.2


The building to the right is where the coins are manufactured, counted, and distributed to the bank.

Love the work. Those rusty iron bridges in 232.5 look so good. Where did you find these?

This is the 1st time I've visted your CJ but it is one of the most amusing I've come across. Looking at update 26, are you sure your not a city planner. We could use your help in Sydney. Couldn't get any worse.

Can't wait for the next update

*Recalls investing in Ivory Soapstone Futures six months ago...*

Laughing all the way to the First Bank of Pumba, glad to see this is still going!

*Stops laughing abruptly as fear of The Cartel is felt, starts hyperventilating as fear of The Grand Pumba is felt, turns around, runs back home and begins building an underground shelter in the backyard...

No need to waste your precious time and energy digging a backyard shelter when the Cartel will gladly sell you a ready made and mobile unit for just a few low monthly payments.

Filled with boxes of canned water for all your family’s thirsty needs. (Sydney look into this.) Mmmmm, canned water.
Picture 233.2

You know after all this hype about the view count reaching ten thousand you would think I would be better prepared. I better hustle.
Good night.

Banks are popping up everywhere but there is a growing problem.
Picture 234.1

Theft is up.  Many desperate or greedy pumbas have discovered that the new coinage can easily be taken from unsuspecting marks. The coins are easily transferable unlike the traditional influence which is intimately attached to the pumba who earned it.
Picture 234.2

Tensions are growing in the streets of Willowbend Long.
Picture 234.3

There are rumors that an unknown organization is driving the increase in crime.
Picture 234.4

There is talk that something should be done. A police force or something to maintain control.
Picture 234.5

The tension in the city can be felt.

We will just have to watch and hope of the best.

             Watch and hope I can do a better update next time.

Not far now.

Here is a picture of the bank in Root Delta that was robbed just last week.
Picture 235.2

Thievery cases are increasing rapidly in the region. The members of the Board of Exceptionally Important Pumbas are gathering for a summit on crime in the Grand Pumba’s castle at Lookout Point in the small town of Safe Harbor in Root Delta.
Picture 235.3

I wonder what they will come up with for solutions?

Good night,

So here is a picture of the Committee for Unpumba Behavior and Advancement of Picnic Social Gatherings.
Picture 236.1

As well as the organizing picnics for social gatherings the committee is responsible for maintaining the influence status quo and maintaining the authority of the Symbols of Power. The Grand Pumba has summoned them and other Exceptionally Important Pumbas to discuss the growing unrest and the expanding power of the Ivory…
Oh wait I am suppose to be doing something important. I wonder what it was? MMMMMMMMMM…

 

 

 

Oops, that ain’t right…

No, that is not right either.

Let’s have a break from the social economic tensions in the pumba region. How about a trip to a day palm plantation? Mmmmm, day palm.
Picture 239.1

The plantation manor.
Picture 239.2

The river boat and the pier. This is how the workers get to work and how the day palm is transported back to the thirsty cities.
Picture 239.3

The pump house and irrigation scaffold.
Picture 239.4

The work shed.

And finally windmills, because everyone loves windmills.

Just had the chance to look at the last 3 updates and there's some great pic's there. I like the palm plantation pic's, but tell me, in pic 237.4, did the ship avoid collision with the seawall and avoid an environmental catastrophy?

Look forward to more.

Cheers
