Deer Park

Welcome to Deer Park, Vän Vatten; the capital of the Vän Vatten region. Deer Park (DP) is one of the largest cities in the region, and holds in it some of most important aspects of Vän Vatten.

When entering Deer Park make note that it will take several days to get through the city. While the United Transportation Network is new and does make quick work through most of the city, the business district, capital district, and residential areas in between are vast, congested, and can be very frightening to anyone from the rural areas of the region.

Today we’ll focus primarily on the calmer residential area of DP. Because of the UTN, DP is divided into four quadrants to the eye overlooking the area: single family residential area/condominiums, industrial, business/capital district, and finally the high rise residencies of Deer Park. Our primary focus is on the industry and single homes, which are located west of U-2.

Northwest Deer Park depicts what the city is about; family. While the population of the city does exceed 110,000 people, there is still a strong urge to stay united. Yes, it is lost in the hustle of daily movement in the business area, but once you’re west of U-2, you’re safe. U-3 continues east from Blackwater into Deer Park and cuts through the denser of the condominium area of the city. Don’t worry, neighborhoods of single home families do dot the city, primarily in the northwest corner, so for those of you who enjoy having a backyard, there is hope, but note: it comes at a price. Like most cities, property is few and far between because of growth, but is very much desired by many. Many families who live in the NW sector have been there for decades; which translates to the fact that they didn’t have to pay premium price for the land.

Deer Park, for several years was just an upstart town for most of the 20th century. It was merely a small town between the ports in Blackwater and the ports in Cresent City. In fact, aside from the Winchester Western, no rail wanted to go through the town. During the darker years of unrest in Vän Vatten Deer Park, unlike places such as Deepwell didn’t see action. With the Viktoria River to the north and Oslo’s Post, a military fort in the southern outreach of Vän Vatten, no one really cared about what took place in Deer Park. There wasn’t to be made in the eyes of the owners. Deer Park was lucky enough for the WW to go through the town as it originally desired to cross through Blackwater, which is still debated on whether or not it was a wise choice. Roads tended to aid Deer Park, VV2 and VV33 tied Oslo’s Post to the rest of Vän Vatten, and VV66 connected Blackwater to Cresent City. So for the most part Deer Park was a place to stop for the restroom and a bite to eat, and that was it. Nothing caused people to want to move to Deer Park.

History books tell us though, that this ideology changed shortly after 1988. In ’88 a business man who grew up in Deer Park and worked in Cresent City was elected as the seventh councilmember of the Syv; Zeke McGraw. McGraw was head of Z Financial, a business that worked as stock brokers inside Vän Vatten. He had been rather successful for his young age, in the 80’s when it was announced he would run, he ran off the idea of being financially fit and preparing for the unexpected, but expecting the greatest. When he was elected, McGraw started his first large campaign of relocated the capital of Vän Vatten. Since its creation a few hundred years ago after blending the people of the north and the people of the water, Vän Vatten’s capital was in Queensland. With the new council in place for the form of government, Queensland wasn’t as fitting as McGraw had desired. He believed that the central government should be located within a place where there is no need for biasness, what’s better than Deer Park?

In 1990 the official capital was placed in Deer Park, Vän Vatten. Within the next ten years the population exploded in the town, spiraling out of control. UNT was soon implemented in Deer Park replaced VV2 with U-2 and replaced VV66 with U-3. Many roads were upgraded to four lane avenues, and streets were upgrade to roads. A new service, called MicroLink was also created, it is a underground rail service that connected different areas of Deer Park with Cresent City, Blackwater, and Oslo’s Ending (renamed after the dark years from Oslo’s Post). In 1993 a new capital tower was started upon inside Deer Park at the U-2/U-3 interchange. In 2009 Vän Vatten Capital Tower was created. Easily the tallest structure in the city, and the entire region, Capital Tower sticks out like a large prism over the vastly flat terrain of Deer Park.
