Entry 20: Baby and Education!

Hey all and welcome back to your favourite Principality!

We have some exciting news for you all today from the Principality and that is that apparently, the rumours about the Princess's pregnancy were true (I know I'm as shocked as you are!). As such we've now welcomed our newest member of the royal family into the world, Prince Henry!

In light of this wonderful news we decided to celebrate and do something extravagant with the tax payers money. As such we'd like to present the Prince Henry University of Gabtoria

As you can see its pretty small but at least now we can finally educate people to work in the Nuclear Power Plant (apparently not being educated and being in charge of the Nuclear Power Plant is a bit dangerous and Norway seemed to be pretty worried about it. I'm sure it's still perfectly safe though). Anyway as you can see we it is on the small side so although we now have the university there's still a pretty small chance you'll actually get into it. On the plus side though it is free education!

Anyway here's a look at the main building on the campus where you can take classes in city planning (some of which are taken by me!), medicine and several others that will benefit the Principality in the long run.

You can also see the building where a Norwegian lecturer will teach you about Nuclear Physics (and how to safely run a NPP) on the left and the campus football pitch on the right.

Anyway below we can see how the university students live (if they can't be bothered to travel the 10 miles or so by train to actually get here from anywhere in the Principality) with a total of four of these dorm hubs in the university grounds.

Other than that there are a couple more buildings where you can learn about other stuff (I have no idea what I just signed the paper and they looked nice on the plans), a football (not soccer, football) pitch and some smaller learning buildings (OOC: If you can't tell, I didn't go to university so I have no idea what on earth they call the buildings where you go for lectures).

Anyway other than that we've just seen a influx of citizens into the city so I'll leave you with some of the images of the growing city.

Starting off this is what the centre of our nation with the palace (aka my home) and the St James Cathedral with the university just about visible to the right slowly being surrounded by residential growth with the train station and industrial estate in the distance.

(OOC: As some of you may also have noticed I've downloaded the tree change mod thingy and changed all the trees to pine ones to make the whole city look a lot more cohesive. Not sure why I didn't do this a while ago to be honest.)

Next up we have a closer look at the Train station and the growth that's occurring around that at the moment. As you can see the people brought in by the trains have made this area fairly desirable to commercial enterprises and so a number of them have sprung up around it.

Fianlly I'll leave this 20th entry for our illustrious nation with a look at what we would call our skyline, looking from the shores of Gabtoria Point across the river to the centre of Gabtoria where you can find the palace, cathedral and the brand new university (in fact if you look closely you can just about see the spires of the cathedral in the distance).

Anyway, that's all we have for this entry, sorry it was a bit short but I hope it was also sweet!

Till next time where I think we'll have to try and get a flag designed seeing as we now have a university that I'm sure has a art department in some part of it.

Till then

Crown Prince James

(OOC: Well guys as you've probably noticed my entries have become a bit more spread out and I'd like to apologise for that. I think may laptop has come to its limits with what it can run concerning this game as the lag at the moment in Gabtoria is pretty bad. Don't worry though I'm planning on getting a new laptop this week so will be able to continue with the Journal.

We've also finished our move so now all I've got to do is wait for my job to settle down and I'm good to go!

Till then though I think I'll concentrate on looking at the lovely journals that you guys have created and work on my maps some more.

Cheers

James)

Rather than educating people working at the nuclear plant you could have solve the problem also by decreasing the investment in education for the rest of the citizens. If they don't know a damn thing about nuclear waste, risk, etc, they won't complain. An Ignorant population is a happy population :P

Town's growing well. Might need to expand that rail station soon enough though. :P
