Huanzhan City

By ilikehotdogsalot,

UPDATE 18: Huanzhan City (special administrative region) Huanzhan City is the capital of the Huanzhan Special Administrative Region in Seto. The Region is owned and governed by the Chinese government even though it's only a few hours from Hinawa. Like Hong Kong, Huanzhan has very liberal economic policies that allow it to be a major economic hub in Asia. The region was won by the Chinese after a conflict between Japan and China. In the above picture, chinese architecture stands by manicured parks. The main...

UPDATE 17: Kiba Industrial Park (western hinawa) Kiba Industrial Park is located in the outskirts of the capital near the city's central port. It's one of Hinawa's most polluted locations with mile after mile of oil refineries, factories, and depots. The area can be quite omnious at night and is somewhat unventured by most locals. Here we see the main highway passing through the center of the industrial district. The port nearby handles different kinds of ships. Cargo ships are docked and take supplies...

UPDATE 16: Mizamotto Midnight Tour (central hinawa) Mizamotto has always been Hinawa's prime business district, but in the last few months, it has gained more attention due to the Simlympics. The entire business district received modification to deal with new traffic and new office towers have sprung up in the process. In this mosaic, we see the Hinawa Museum, the Imperial Gardens & Canals and numerous office towers near the Central Train Station. Grand embassy buildings line the Imperial Canals in...

Lake Ado

By ilikehotdogsalot,

UPDATE 15: Lake Ado (weekend retreat) As the capital receives more visitors for the July games, some locals are leaving the city to escape the crowds. Lake Ado is one of the destinations they head off to. The lake is framed by large mountains and unspoiled woodlands; it contrasts heavily to the busy atmosphere of central Hinawa. Waterfront homes are found throughout the area. Unlike large development projects common in the city, people buy land to build a house that suits them. The homes vary in size and...

The evening begins at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. A celebratory dinner was held in order of the opening ceremonies; ambassadors, ISC members, and royalty all attended before leaving to the stadium. Diplomatic cars were escorted by the city police to the Hinawa Dome, located a few miles north of the ministry. Large crowds were waiting outside the embassy buildings to greet the visitors. As the motorcade pulled up to the Hinawa Dome, more crowds of people welcomed the visitors, likely waiting for the...

As Hinawa got word that it would host the 2009 July Simlympics, city officials quickly got to work on updating the city to host the new visitors, athletes, and media coming for the events. These upgrades range from new ferry lines, subway expansions, more security & information booths, airport upgrades, and general enhancement of the city; many which you will see here. Hinawa International Airport's old Terminal 1 (above) was quickly falling to the pressures from new passengers and outdated technology. To...

The observatory is located in an isolated part of the Maugana Region overlooking the sea. The complex contains many satellites, observatories, and research centers to collect data & information from space. The central research center is used by scientists to review data collected from the large satellites. The area contains several solar panels...

UPDATE 13: Luijnu District (south hinawa) Luijnu is located in southern Hinawa, a few miles inland from the bay. It's a popular spot for young locals and considered one of the most up-and-coming areas of the city. The district has a number of shopping, music, and entertainment options including the famous 100 Music Center. In the mosaic above, it is highlighted in the top near the Hinawan Globe Plaza. The building with the smokestack used to be one of Seto Electric's power plants, but was turned into a...

UPDATE 12: WORLD ENVIRONMENT DAY 2009 5 June is World Environment Day; established by the UN to create global awareness about the environment. It also marked the completion of the Imperial Gardens Expansion Project. The main goal of the project was to create new attractions which included the addition of a new natural history exhibit to the Hinawa Museum. A huge fireworks display lit up Mizamotto's canal front, celebrating the completion of the project. About 3,500 trees were also planted in celebration of...

Hinawa is the largest city and capital of Seto, an island nation in the Pacific Ocean. The country is a blend of Asian cultures and history that has transformed it from a small outpost to a large nation of millions. Seto has a complex transportation infrastructure and Hinawa is the country's main hub. All the major companies are headquartered here, and many of the country's important landmarks are found within the city limits. Seto hopes to host the July 2009 Simlympic Games to introduce itself to the...

UPDATE 11: University of Hinawa (main campus) The University of Hinawa is one of Seto's most prestigious universities. The central campus is located in the northern section of the city near the Imperial Gardens. The university was founded 175 years ago and remains one of the country's most important educational centers. Along with the gardens, it is one of the lowest profile areas of Hinawa, with building heights barely reaching 10 stories. The central courtyard contains most of the university buildings...

UPDATE 10: Pawa District (quan city center) Quan is a small city of about 1 million residents. It is located in the northern section of the country near the Maugana region and is a central hub for people travelling through the countryside. The Pawa District is lined with canals and mountains that split the city into different sections. In this mosaic, we see a night shot showing off the mountains, the sports arena, and numerous skyscrapers. Many agricultural firms have also set up HQs here due to the...

UPDATE 9: Maugana Region (setonese countryside) Today we'll be exploring the rural Maugana region. The region is home to numerous farm fields, bullet train lines, wind farms, and small towns. The S-18 Expressway is an easy way to travel through the region quickly and efficiently. It takes you from Hinawa to the center of Maugana in about 3 hours. Airstrips dot the region, and are an easy way to reach isolated areas of the country. Wind farms are very common here; they power many small towns and villages....

After, the Grand Duke and diplomats head southwest to the Imperial Gardens near the Hinawa...

UPDATE 7: Genevran State Visit (Part 1/2) (diplomatic mission) It's been a few weeks since the earthquake struck Seto, and things have returned to normal in the country. Before the earthquake, Seto was in the midst of application processes to join the SCJU and many diplomats and ambassadors had planned to visit the country to encourage new ties. Genevra representatives had a planned visit to the country. Even with the news of the earthquake, Genevra stated it still wanted to continue with their diplomatic...

Marina City

By ilikehotdogsalot,

UPDATE 6: Marina City (satellite business district) Marina City is a relatively new development located several miles east of Kubo in Hinawa Harbour. It was sculpted in the late 1990's to create a satellite business center. The main route that passes the district is called the Hinawa Harbourside Expressway, and it cuts through the center of the island, ending at the edge of Marina City with an underwater tunnel. There is another road connection via the Metropolitan Bridge and a speedy monorail line that...

UPDATE 5: Hinawa - Nujigu Bridge; Bay of Hinawa (connection between the two cities) If you're driving into Hinawa from any of Seto's major cities, chances are you'll likely pass over this bridge. Simply referred to as the Hinawa - Nujigu Bridge, it connects Hinawa to the neighboring city of Nujigu. Before the bridge was completed, citizens had to take a 40 minute long ferry across the bay; now that trip is shortened to 5-10 minutes depending on traffic flow. The bridge gets a large amount of traffic...

UPDATE 4: Mizamotto District (canal side financial center) Mizamotto is a district located in the northerneastern section of Hinawa, a couple of miles north of Kubo. It's famous for its canal systems that drain water from the Imperial Gardens back to the Bay of Hinawa. In the past few years, development in the area has skyrocketed, and many historical buildings were demolished to make way for modern skyscrapers. Today, it's an important business district and transit hub because the city's central station...
