NMUSpidey: Haha. It's ok. I'm happy it intrigued you but it will take more time before things will actually happen.

Richie99: Thanks! I just love writing fanfics and so this CJ is one big fanfic, i also like those characters too.

Neto Dari: Thanks! I will definitely have more of those but with more in game images.

Houston: Well, it really took time but all those hiatus was due to an exam. It's summer break now and I am happy to be able to spend more time with this CJ.

Whats up! I bet you have missed my face badly in this CJ. It's been a while that I finally got some time to update this CJ, I mean me personally updating this. Well, I hope you had fun with Kuroko on that Vanilla journey (never mind him, he's vanilla milkshake addict) and never mind the last update too (I mean don't let it sink too much on your minds). We as Teiko officials aren't actually supposed to talk about it. Well, but seriously I am not really sure of that so called transcript and until now it is still a talk of a town.

Oh well, let's proceed to the updates cause there is so many of them that I need to share. Okay, so where should I start? Hmmm...

First, I was warn everybody that Teiko's currently in a middle of a political havoc, well that actually happens every year but this 2014 is somewhat greater than last year and the last year and the last last year. Why? Because the national elections is coming up this November, well not that I care but most of the Teikonians do (Oh what a bad official am I). Anyhow, speaking of havoc, the Teiko Regional Council (Central-46) had just voted to undergo a vote of no confidence against the head of the council, I bet you must met him during the last update (Kensuke Fukui). I wonder if he will survive.

Read more here.

Well, one of the issues that is being tackled is the transcript and some even questions his house in Kyoritsu but overall, I think the problem was about transparency of his dealings. Anyhow, this is his house in Kyoritsu. So what you think, it's pretty lavish ei?

As of the moment, here is the unofficial total count of the votes that was carried out.

Slide1_zpsa5c2189f.jpg

Meh, I don't like him anway. So who cares? LOL. Well, for everybody's info, it needs 19 votes to vote him out and looks like we are inching closer to it. I'm not happy okay, I'm just excited, no I mean worried, yeah worried. :P

Moving on to other updates, I will be talking about shipping and since I mentioned shipping, I immediately drew this picture out....

Himuro Tatsuya and Kagami Taiga from Kuroko no Basket. You'll meet them here in this CJ very soon. ;)

Okay, just Kidding! Maybe not this type of shipping, LOL. I might have drunk some alcohol again. When I said shipping, I'm talking about this!

Teiko is the heart of the the United SimNation's logistics industry and to prove to you the worth that title, here are some of the developments that has been going on around town. These are just some of the major port of entry in Teiko Metropolitan Area.

Let's do some throwback shall we?

Remember when Port of Kaijo was two separate identity that I wonder why is that so? And those sloppy slopes was such an eye sore? Okay, here are some of the images, I knew you might have a hard time remembering it.

Former Ferry Terminal of Kaijo District

Well, recently, the District Council of Kaijo led by Yoshitaka Moriyama (a cool best friend of mine :yes: ) just did some major renovations and look at Kaijo's port recently. I mean, this is a total makeover! :O I was from Stepford Island last week and when I went home, I was totally shock. Hats off to my friend for making the impossible happen. Let me present to you, the new Port of Kaijo.

Speaking of ports and shipping, all these are currently controlled by the Ministry of Trade and Industry headed by Namikawa Reiji and the Ministry of Transportation, administered by Furihata Kouki. So if you have plans on opening business here in Teiko or exporting your products to our small city state, it is pretty much welcome but word of advise, we don't do smuggling here. :} So drop by by their office located at Teiko Special Economic Zone in Hayama Island, Kirisaki Daichi.

Speaking of opening businesses and opportunities, Kaijo is really improving well into drawing a lot of investors. Believe it or not, that old district is bringing in the first Mama Peyton's Greasy Spoon in Teiko Metropolitan Area. That restaurant is famous for its burger and is one of Peyton-Stepford-Troy landmarks. Drop by here for some awesome food but beware because the line is long!

I know Teikonians are exited about this new restaurant. Everything you do is fine, just please don't eat like these two. :rofl:

Going back to shipping, so one port does not actually make a lot of difference right? So here is another one. This port is located at Takao Industrial Park, this is the largest privately owned industrial park in United SimNations. Two thousand years ago (actually its just a few months ago), this place also look like a total mess... yet it is highly productive. Here is another throwback.

TakaoDistrict-Jul25231395472524_zps3eb5c913.png

See how messy that place on the left is. That is Takao Industrial Park before.

So Takao Industrials, the sole proprietor of the business park also went some major renovations. So looking at the new port facilities and land expansion, it is expected to bring in 10,000 industrial jobs. Also, see that tall building in the middle? Don't worry it is not misplaced, that is Takao Industrials HQ and out of the blue, they just want a highrise building.

Now, Takao Industrial Park boasts a very well organized industrial friendly location.

Last but not the least, I hope you are not tired of all these seaports. Nozomi was a sleepy town of 2,600 people and this piece of land here was barren except for the road connecting Takao District to Kogomo North. Now, the very awesome Yami Bakura (I like his style but I don't like his personality, he's evil!!) had developed this land into something else that even I'm having a hard time assesing.

The current land now has high quality seaport facilities, it even has its own port authority office. Well, being in the middle of Teiko's most populous district and largest private industrial park surely has some of its perks.

These are the new ports and newly renovated ports in Teiko Metropolitan Area. For the record, they are really bringing in a lot of industrial opportunities in Teiko. After all, Teiko is the leading manufacturing and technology center in the United SimNations. As a proof the strong businesses we have here, our own homegrown Industrial Illusion is soon making an appearance in Stepford Island with a construction of a 50 hectare production facility.

Well, I guess that's all of it. Oh, I forgot something. This one is really one of my personal favorites.

Site of Teiko National University in Kirisaki Daichi. Those grid lines are part of the construction protocol.

I'm really happy to see the construction of a new university in Teiko and not just any university, it is a national university - Teiko National University. I'll update you more about it soon. Oh don't worry I'm still loyal to my alma mater, University of Kaijo. It is still the best school in Teiko. :yes:

Well, I hope I have quench your thirst for some awesome update. I will be back soon to bring you more. (If I wouldn't be called in for any event again). Great day or night ahead!

Wait before I forget, (how many times do I have to say this?) all those names in hyperlink will lead you to their profile. Try clicking it and see for yourself. ;) Cheerios!

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE UNDYING SUPPORT, SEE YOU NEXT TIME!

Awesome update my friend!I hope Teiko port gets busier and I anticipate an expansion in the near future because I love busy seaports!
By the way where did you get that ploppable ship that carries PEG Containers?
I mean the light blue one.
Am I right about it being ploppable or it is attached to the docks?

New Kaijo is definitely better with slopes ! Good work ! I would suggest to add flora/trees in those empty green areas.

Which slope mod was used?

Nice improvements. You should connect your seaports with railroad SimPeg made those seaports railroad capable and it works great. i've found the majority of shipping happens by rail in my cities.
