Saving Magnasanti...

"To build that futuristic biodome bubble in the sky, you’re gonna need money, pal. Magnasanti takes this goal to its natural, hellish conclusion. It’s a dense and brutal world, perfectly efficient and optimized, with no considerations for the human lives within it."
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        - Joe Veix, "The Outline"

Once in the SimNation's history, the evil genius, Vincent Ocasla*, has created an "ultimate" SimCity 3000 city with the highest number of population possible, the rock-solid RCI indicator, ample money reserves and mathematical perfection to rule them all. Thus, "Magnasanti" was born.

But make no mistake. Magnasanti is not "Minority Report's" safest city in the world, neither is it a blissful utopia seen in "Tomorrowland".

Magnasanti's "success" is built upon poor health, high crime rate, poor education, suffocating pollution and an equally suffocating cityscape where good living conditions and hope, if there ever was any, have already faded away tens of thousands of years ago. The only things that matter are the population numbers and urban stability, no matter how heavy they weigh on Simtizens' lives.

In this CJ, I will document my attempts at repairing this city, turning it into a safe and friendly habitat for the first time in its long, depressing history.

*Vincent, if you ever read this - don't get me wrong - you are a remarkable standout in the SimCity history and calling you "an evil genius" is nothing more than just a tongue-in-cheek narrative feature and satire. Something that SC3000 is loved for so much. All the best to you!
