Welcome to Emerald City Islands, Here a quick explanation about the things I’ve done to my city to make it how it is today.

The people of Waterworld where complaining about the name of the city since there was more land than water. After democratic elections about the new name the people came forward whit the new name: Emerald City Islands. The name seems more suitable because nowadays the islands looks like green jewel stones. Emerald City Islands are still growing and changing. The square looking islands are almost removed as you can see on the regional view photo. Also included in this journal are some pictures of the new...

The Beginning

By Arnold001,

Out of the sea there is land rising, land made by man! After the land is made there will be room for people to live. The man made land is beginning to be a region. To navigate through the region people need a map. The new land is starting to be healthy and people like to live there. Pollution from highways/railways are low because they are underground most of the time and only come up when needed.
