Welcome to Gorgoroth County

     Gorgoroth County is the region of an unnamed state/country/principality/whatever. The big picture doesn't matter here, only the local politics of the (hopefully) happy Sims of the Gorgoroth region. Gorgoroth County is governed within the small town of Nurn. Nurn currently oversees a few farming townships on its outskirts, along with a vast wilderness spread across the multitude of bays fjords and islands around and to the west of Nurn, and the stout but rugged western slope of the Ephel Dúath mountains, to the east of Nurn. Nurn is on the western edge of a large bay,  the bay being on the western edge of an even greater body of water. Let's call it an ocean, and leave it unnamed to further disconnect ourselves from the troubles of the world. This picture is about the local affairs of the many rugged opportunists living on the edge of an uncharted wilderness.

     Let's see how this small town grows, and as a primary influence to the people of Nurn, let me know your thoughts on the happenings of the town and how it should grow. Wherever Gorgoroth is, it is in some sort of democracy. So don't feel afraid if you feel something should change or want something to happen yourself!

Here we begin in central Gorgoroth County. As you can see the land is mostly uncharted far past the small settlements dotting the landscape. However the slowly growing urban landscape will soon delve into the great beyond.

The central city is small now (this picture was taken before the above region view) but has all the necessities. The largest project undertaken was the 4 building schoolhouse located at the highest point on the island, education staying a step ahead to accommodate the rapidly growing township. Most of the land in Nurn is too soggy ordry for farming, two extremes with no in between, so other economic opportunities are being brainstormed.

Some growth is happening in nearby cities as well.

Thats all for the intro. Let me know how I'm doing and what you want to see in future updates! New update coming soon.

Nice!!! Very good way to kickstart your new cj! A few pointers.
Try to avoid getting that corner-menu in (with the name of the city and such)
I'd recommend doing closeups on more of the interesting areas (such as the highschool, that setup looked rad, and also if you don't have it, get manuel-ito's maxis relots, they do wonders aesthetically)

Very nice start to this region. World view looks incredible. Should be interesting to see how you make use of the landscape to develop higher density population centers.

Nice start here! I'm a real sucker for suburban areas and your terrain looks ripe for some incredibly irregular and freeform areas.
