The Terraces of St. Alexander

TPB: Thank you! The problems with the last CJ were pretty disheartening, but it's been a long time since that happened so I'm raring to go again!
slickbg56: I agree, I spent a long time looking for a map I liked - I do enjoy lots of islands and coastline which makes it much more interesting. Should look good when it's all filled up!
Kim Sunwoo: Thank you, hopefully it turns out good!
89James89: Thanks James!
Mymyjp: Me too, it should be a fun little adventure!
And now it's time for a second entry and some first in-game shots!
St. Alexander
The Democratic Kingdom of Bastutoland
St. Alexander is a small-ish town, located on a peninsula of land in the Three Needles region, for which it forms the administrative capital. It lies to the south of Solcross, one of the two main urban centres in Bastutoland with it's suburbs blending into those of Solcross, creating a sprawl of low density suburban housing. The two remain distinct though, whilst Solcross has it's famous canal network and classical architecture (more of that another time!), St. Alexander is characterised by its many streets of terraced town houses.
There is a strong, close-knit community in this area of St. Alexander, and the Residents of St. Alexander's Terraces (or RoSATs for short) campaign vociferously against any significant changes to the architecture or character of the area, ensuring that these streets have remained largely unchanged for decades. Gentrification is strictly controlled and consequently the homes remain affordable for many of the town's poorer inhabitants.
The area features both a primary and secondary school, as well as the Church of the Blessed Saint. As one of the oldest parts of St. Alexander it sits at the heart of the town, with newer developments surrounding it on all sides. One of these is Stanton Tower, a recent development of luxury apartments and penthouses. As one of the tallest buildings in St. Alexander it offers commanding views of the whole peninsula that the town is located upon, and offers a stark contrast to the two and three-floored terraces around it.
St. Alexander is still very much a work-in-progress in-game so I can't really offer a wider view of the area at present, but hopefully this whets your appetite for the time being!
Keep a look out for more updates next week! Thanks for reading!
