Entry 31: Politics and Arlinbury!
Replies:
Schulmanator: Glad you enjoyed the drama presentation we'll have complimentary tickets delivered to your Bureau Of Feline Affairs here in Tantico as soon as possible. As for the pollution we are indeed trying to do our best to get on top of it. Funds however are a bit dry at the moment so stage 3 is having a wait a little bit.
dlsni: Thanks for pointing out the missing picture and I hope you enjoyed looking despite that small hiccup.
Luiz P. Romanini: Thanks and yes the new developments are a lot cleaner than the old areas so it is definitely an improvement.
Map Guy: Yes there are plenty of nock and crannies to build in here in Tantico and we've got plenty of more land to cover yet on the small island chain. We hope you'll continue to enjoy as we discover the island properly.
Alex_1210: Thanks I'm glad you like all the farmland in between the settlements.
Entry 31: Politics and Arlinbury
Well toady were taking a look at Arlinbury as mentioned last time to see how its grown but first we have a special announcement.
----------
Bureau of Feline Affairs
Link to Schulmania CJ on SimTropolis:
Recently we've been receiving diplomatic missions from Schulmania after a small inter dimensional portal was discovered several hundred miles off of the east coast of the island (OOC: rather far fetched granted but hey were on different planets). Under control of the Smearth National Alliance, the leading multi national organisation here on Smearth, this new portal has facilitated cross dimensional relations.
One such diplomatic mission was from the feline ruled nation of Schulmania. A curious nation indeed with their fascination with cats but still a friendly one and as such, a Bureau Of Feline Affairs was set up here in Tantico City to maintain and improve relations.
Below are some images of the actual building and grounds including the Feline Diplomatic Residence for traveling diplomats. As you can see it includes a nice gold fish pond and cat nip bush for the felines as well as a gazebo to sun themselves.
The we have another image below to give you an idea of where the residence and Bureau is located in terms of the rest of the city. Pretty central but not overly busy.

Now for the second part of this small update, this time regarding Arlinbury. As you can see from the following photo's the area has indeed gone upwards, here we'll take a closer look starting with the centre of the town.
As you can see its got a few large retail stores, with the most obvious being the large office block that houses the town council on its top floors and several small stores along the ground floor. As you can see from this image though its definitely one of the greener towns here in Tantico.
Moving southwards we come to one of the largest urban parks in the nation, Arlinbury Green. Built to provide a large place of relaxation for the growing population, in keeping with the green feel the rest of the tree lined town gives. As you can see its a fairly popular place and slowly several of the residences around the green are being bought out by commercial business eager to take advantage of the daily crowds.
As for the large apartments though, this is the what the majority of Arlinbury's 4,300 residences live in. Not exactly the nicest looking buildings but they get the job done cheaply so were favoured by the council, reasoning that the large amount of green in the town would balance the not so nice buildings out.
Final image for now is this one of the growing industrial park outside Arlinbury. What with the large emphasis on green spaces here in Arlinbury, it provides a attractive place for hih tech businesses to set up shop and as such, the road into Arlinbury is lined by a number of high tech factories.
That's all for the images, though apparently the proposed rail-line from Arlinbury to Riverbend via Salem is in the final stages of planning and construction is set to start soon, which we'll be all to eager to cover next time.
Till then
Jamie Felding
