My first CJ entry! Hope you enjoy it! :)

Jarraban is the newest member of the Alliance of Independent Nations (AIN). Here, I present to you the CBD of the country's largest city - Derby (pop. 1,878,210). Nestled beside a large natural harbour, the CBD features extensive parks and gardens and is a mix of the old and new. World-class eateries, nightlife, sporting/cultural venues, financial institutions and shopping opportunities await visitors, not to mention pristine beaches.

Jarraban's wiki page can be viewed here: http://aoin.eu/wiki/index.php?title=Jarraban

Interesting design for a city, having the downtown area isolated by cultural and recreational buildings. Quite the diverse mix of BAT's/plugins in there, that'll serve you well going forward.

Pretty neat looking multi-tile stitch! You have a nice variety of areas and the city layout overall is pretty intriguing. I do agree with @Scribosilyn about your screenshots... I recommend cranking the automata and shadow quality up to make you city feel more alive.

Agreed! Even if your computer does not play well with the shadows on, play with them off, but I would recommend at least turning them to High when you take your screenshots. It adds much more than you would think to a picture.

Keep it up! I would like to see some more of what you have to offer. ;)
