@ggamgus, Forthwall, RepublicMaster, Kruness, jason leo, pasquale199, tim.12.game, dubaidude303: Thanks folks! @Fox: There's a lot more where that came from! @Vlasky: Do you like politics? If so then you'll love this CJ! @ThisIsMyName, wnsghks42: The park, along with the palace can be found in this download on the LEX. So, on our last visit to Vanaheim City Centre before we move on to the suburbs and beyond into Utgard, let's take a look at the financial district, the beating heart of Utgard's economy.

From update 3: @SimRico: Hey, when will I see my newspaper in Peyton Place? @2b2gbi, dubaidude303, ggamgus, jason leo, Fox, RepublicMaster: Thanks guys! From update 2: @2b2gbi: Thanks, the canals are my favorite part of the city. @dzekins, jack3oh3: Thanks, I've now got a population of 130,000 so there's plenty of traffic but I'll have much better provisions in the future. The following pictures were taken at the same time as the last ones though so there will be a lack of busy streets. I've been putting a...

(click to see full size) Welcome to Utgard! In this City Journal I will be showcasing my new region Utgard (see above wiki article for details), a Nordic country in the North Atlantic. The Journal will feature an in depth look at the nation of Utgard along with news articles and a political theme. I want to encourage as much interactivity as possible with you (the reader) so check back often as there will be a lot of polls to decide big issues such as elections and urban planning. Please leave some...

@dubaidude303, Efkin, RepublicMaster, Hazani Pratama: Thanks guys, glad you all like it @Fox, ggamgus: Thanks, as I said in the forum section, the canal around the Parliament is quite symbolic. @InvaderNat: Thanks, but no, it's not the Millenium Stadium (that would be even better!) It's a German Stadium, it's @jason leo: Thanks, I can't seem to find them again, I'll try again later and if I find them I'll put a link in the next update. @riiga: Thanks, it's the feeling I was going for, glad I achieved it!...

@ggamgus: Thanks, I suppose it adds that extra little dimension of realism! @111222333444: Thanks, that was the purpose @Forthwall: Thanks, I've really enjoyed my time so far so you'll be seeing a lot more of me at the USNW! @Jason leo: I'm preparing a proper report with all the graphs and more in it, it's on the back burner for a little while just now though. @Republic Master: That will be no problem, it would be cool to get the stats from the other nations so I can include them in the report. Thanks for...

I have some but they don't fit in with the look of Vanaheim. Thanks though! Welcome back folks!

@dubaidude303, 10000000000000, jason leo, RepublicMaster, 2b2gbi: Thanks for all your awesome comments!!! @ggamgus: Thanks, it's the best bridge I've got! xD @111222333444: Here it is! @kentleprix: I've tried a few but it's only really this one that gives off the Arctic Ocean feel I'm looking for, thanks though!

@ggamgus: Thanks, but yeah, you're right, I don't want to rush it. However, I am only really making updates of material that I had been saving up over the last month so I'll start to slow it down a bit soon. @jason leo: Thanks, it means a lot to me to have debuted at number 1. @ThomasSimpson: Thanks man. We have a minority Government because the moderate party who is in power in a coalition with the greens has not been keeping it's promises to the Greens therefore the Green party has withdrawn it's support...

@ThomasSimpson: Thanks, I was going to add arable (crops) farms but the island was too hilly for that and crops only grown below a certain gradient and I want this to be as realistic as possible. @jason leo: It's a very relaing place! But I'm doing things the opposite way around, When it's Summer in Utgard, it's Winter in real life and vice versa. @PaulSawyer: Thanks, I was going for that feeling of quaint and cute alongside modern and progressive. @ggamgus: Yeah thanks, I've been building up the region...

I hope you like the rest of the canals in the city, I spent ages on them. @titanicbuff: Thanks! @TayMay27: I'll give it a go when it comes out but honestly, I think I'll still prefer SC4, it's ten years old and...

Hey there folks! Just want to say that I'll be putting Utgard on the back burner for a little while as things are getting a bit hectic afk. I will return as soon as I have the time and I'll try and get Ingriaborg (the second city after Vanaheim) finished. Thanks for all your support and comments! Jordan
