(Editor's Note #1: This one is for the lone poll respondent among you who answered our first pre-election poll. I thought about it later and wondered, why take the poll if I'm not going to listen to ya? So this one's for you! Now I'll slow the game down and leave these politicos in power for a while.) (Editor's Note #2: This probably will be our last post until I learn the next "baby step" in how to do this better from a technical standpoint. ) From the Worthington Post... JANNER, INTEGRA WIN SQUEAKER IN...

From the Worthington Post... From the beginning, Bavaria was, well, different. It was something widely known but largely ignored and little discussed in polite conversation. To put it bluntly, the city's founders and subsequent leaders held a certain fondess for things Third Reich, and it became a haven for those of like mind. There were no plans to take over the world, of course. No Auschwitzes or Buchenwalds. But there was a fondess for Nazi-style pomp and pagaentry. Even the city flag, with its...

Morgantown (population 35,000) was chartered in the same year as Enterprise, and that is about all it has in common with its neighbor. From the outset, Morgantown has been an experiment in social welfareism. And it appears the experiment has succeeded beyond anyone's expectations. First-rate healthcare, educational institutions, and amenities abound. The RPT (Rosa Parks Transit) buses people around the city smoothly -- and profitably. Even the long dormant Arlo Guthrie Train Station is coming back to life....

Today, we profile Enterprise, a teeming city of 170,000 in South York. Noplace in the region is more dedicated to free enterprise and miminalist government. The commercial tax rate is 2%. The residential tax is 6%, a third lower than the Simolay average. There are no public schools in Enterprise, and the only reason there is a hospital is because Simolay Protectorate requires public administration of healthcare facilities. There are no parks, plazas, or other government-run public amenities. No other city...

Hi. "Newbie" Simoleman here. Before I get to the first in my "city profile" series, some techie stuff. I've downloaded the transporation NAM, and it's great stuff. I like the roundabouts, even though whenever I'm in one in real life, my blood pressure goes up because I keep thinking someone's gonna slam into me. And I LOVE the left-turn lanes. Not only do they make things look more realistic, they work! My thanks to the geniuses who come up with this stuff and are able to add it to an existing game. Long...

ELECTION DAY IN YORK: HOW WILL YOU VOTE? From The Worthington Post It being the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November, this is Election Day in York Region. (Pictured: The Conagra Firehouse, one of 106 polling places.) Elections are usually relatively placid affairs in York, and what controversial issues there might be are normally localized. The Regional Government traditionally has exercised little control over its independent-minded cities. What political parties there are have been relatively...

Picture Update

By Simoleman,

We apologize for our inexperience in navigating the Simtropolis website. We'll learn eventually. In the meantime... The screen shot/thumbnail pictures you see are of: 1) Sunrise over Landekopf, the first settlement in York. The historic Town Hall and Mayor's Residence are near the center of the picture. 2) The Capitol Building and Governor's Mansion in the heart of York, the regional capital city of Worthington. With more than 500,000 residents, the city is by far the largest in York.

WELCOME TO YORK... Something for everyone. Welcome to York, a thriving and ever-expanding region on the Atlantic coast of Simolay Protectorate. From the cultural attractions and skyscrapers of the regional capital of Worthington to the tree-lined streets and suburban homes of Waynewood to the forested Paradise Lodge Resort and farmhouses of rural Conagra, there is a place to visit or a place to live for everyone in York. Since the founding of Landekopf by immigrants from the U.S., Great Britain, and...
