58 - Archon
Archon is a little Zone located at the Northwest corner of Ionica's densest area, Avalon. It is an ideal location for people who commute to the CBD for work but want to live in a place that is slighty more relaxed and easy going.
Archon is also the home of two of Ionica's biggest news media organizations: the Herald Sun (a national print journal), and the CBC (Cosmic Broadcast Community, an intergalactic news agency).
Tall and luxurious condo buildings line the waterfront and offer spectacular views for those lucky enough to live there.
The Yacht Club is open to all, but those with memberships get discounts and VIP service. The marinas are all public but the majority of boats docked there are privately owned.
Like all the Zones of Ionica, Archon is filled with parks where people can escape the oppressive concrete jungle as well as bring those boisterous kids or pets out to drain some of that energy.

When the sun goes down Archon is famous for its Yacht parties. It is also famous for its Yacht party fines and lawsuits.
Ionica has fairly relaxed laws when it comes to partying and drinking in public. However, the environmental laws concerning pollution, especially of water are very strict. Quite a few Yacht owners who have held large parties on the water have payed out heft sums to the city for throwing trash into the water. That money goes to keeping the water as clean as possible.
Nights in Archon aren't just for partying, there is also a lot of business that goes down. Many of the biggest CEOs in working in Avalon bring clients, partners, and guests to discuss and negotiate deals here.
Some of the most significant mergers and aqusitions made in Ionica are rumored to have been brokered in penthouse suites on the top floors of high-rises in Archon.
Comments, suggestions, and questions are always appreciated. Thanks for visiting.

Thanks for your comments and support. Stay tuned.
Richie99: Nice pictures and the city must have taken lots of effort to achieve. What seawalls do you use?
Thanks. Those are JENX Paris Quais de Seine seawalls.
jmsepe: I suddenly ran out of words again. I could feel how tedious to make these updates are and they are definitely worth it.
Tedious makes it sound like it's no fun. I would call it meticulous. Thanks.
Roman_Samudra: Why a LNG Tanker ships manage to squeeze into city canal? In another words.... fabulous....
Technically it isn't a canal, it is more like a river that goes out to the sea. Thanks.
tankmank: Looking great, and nice contrast between the skyscrapers and the ecological community.
I was a bit worried it would clash. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
RepublicMaster: I love the night shots, the water effects are spectacular! 
Yeah I'm having a bit too much fun with that effect right now. Thanks
KonstantinII: I like how you have actual pictures of your city for the header and replies. I think you should make a different picture of city for the header every time from now on. By co-incident or not, I had a dream that I was driving on the highway through Ionica. Maybe I actually teleported myself?
I would love to make a banner for each entry but that is a lot of work cause it is actually kind of hard to find pictures that are just right. I'll be changing it a bit more often, but not every entry. Thanks.
zlotka: Lookja very well. Good job 
What is the tower with blue lights on top?
I believe you're asking about the Equity Tower.
