Sylvestersburg, Part 2

On the western coast of Harar, in the Southern Marches district, the Bureau of Feline Affairs operated ferry port serves the undeveloped woodlands with trade and security. Harar is well known for its quality catnip and silver vine, considered by many to be the best in the world. Local council leader Sir Sylvester Puddytat, Marquis of the Southern Marches, has established a plantation house near the port.

Sir Sylvester, Marquis of the Southern Marches

A small community has grown around it. By popular acclaim, the town has been named Sylvestersburg. Well, since Sylvester paid for the town’s construction, it seemed like the logical choice. Let’s hope he doesn’t get a big head from the name.

Luckily, he is sticking to growing catnip and not pursuing singing!

I usually arrive by ferry since there are no roads connecting it to anywhere else

The Bureau of Feline Affairs offers the locals many services at the Feline Services Center. Vet care is the primary service. There's also some government offices. But no tax office, since Harar has no taxes of any kind. Take that, money laundering tax havens of the world!!!

Next to St. Sylvester's Church is the Shrine of the Ceiling Cat. There is no shrine for Basement Cat...

There's a general delivery post office here. It serves a wide region, since there are no mailboxes anywhere outside of town for miles and miles...

Sylvester, himself, has a lovely estate and makes a good income off of silver vine and catnip

Anyone ready to visit this remote slice of paradise??

I'm not sure why, but the last series of images is just coding, I mean the [img] and then the image links.  It looks like it's all entered correctly, but...

Anyways, what is visible is wonderful, as always.  A tax-free haven?  Sounds like the Isle of Man.  But will I be able to cash my social security checks there?

You need to add a [ on the closing tag of the first broken image link between".jpg" and "/img". All the image links should work after that. :)

Looking at your updates Schulmanator, I wonder how big your plugins folder is. It seems like every city/place has its own set of unique structures!

pawprint-small.jpg  NMUSpidey   I think you will be able to hide income here. We have low taxes and high standards of living thanks to good governance and vast supplies of gold!

pawprint-small.jpg  SteveManx   Thanks! Got it. And, welcome to Harar!

pawprint-small.jpg  jmsepe   It's about 2.5 GB. That was the actual original goal - every city unique. But there are not enough BATs to do that with. So, instead, I try to have a signature structure in each city.

pawprint-small.jpg  Titanicbuff   You got that right!

pawprint-small.jpg  Schriefer   Thanks! Glad to have you here and glad you like it.

pawprint-small.jpg  SimRico   Glad to have you back in Harar!

pawprint-small.jpg  Hester   Rooms for rent... cheap!

pawprint-small.jpg  Benedict   Only strategic outposts... wouldn't want to tame the feral feline heartland, would we?

pawprint-small.jpg  slickbg56   Thanks! Glad you liked them.
