09: Introducing the 15th Province
Introducing the 15th Province
Gilbertson Island
------
Recently added to the roleplay but saying it's always been there just cause, Gilbertson Island is off the west coast of Folland, sitting in between the Folland mainland and the Okanamapi Islands. The entire island is it's own Province and has a thriving rural populace with large towns along the coastline. (soon to be built) The entire island is connected to the mainland by a single crossing made up of two bridges. When the populated grew too high, Ferries alone couldn't do the job, so a project to bridge the gap with Highway was done to increase transportation.
Serenity Memorial Crossing, or Serenity Memorial Bridge(s) were constructed in the late 1900s sometime after the Great Adonian War's end, and were named for the Wife of the Island's Governor, Serenity Tesh. It was originally her idea to build bridges and put it forward to the Chancellor, but died before it's completion due to an outbreak of Avian Flu. A plaque with her name and face hangs from the concrete towers of the Gilbertson Island-side bridge.
The family is currently fighting a measure being debated, whether to build tolls to help pay for the bridges or not.
