A little east of the Faraquouh Canal lies the busy port of Dukkar. Easily the busiest sector of Okumara, ships travel through the port at all hours of the night, unloading and loading their cargoes for parts unknown. The port provides shipping support for all industries, including coal, cargo, oil, and liquified natural gas. Many of the residents in the area find employment here, as it is the only industry east of the canal. A bridge coming out of the vast desert expanses of the island leads into a small spit of land where the natural gas ships are docked. Here, the liquid fuel is stored until LNG barges come to ship it elsewhere. The gas (although unbeknownst by the government), at the direction of the port foreman, is also used to power part of the port. If only the government were to find out.... The port was constructed by the US navy during the Vietnam war, as a port to load tanks onto amphibious assault ships headed for battle. The port covers most of the eastern shore of the city, and a small expanse of the western shores of a small island near by. The shipping lanes are tight, but no major accident has happened yet. Strict regulations have been in place since the port was constructed, and have been harshly enforced. The port is so far removed from the rest of the island's major centers of population that it essentially operates as a self-governed province. Rail lines stretch from the port into the desert to carry goods to the island's major cities. The desert sands are harsh on the rails however. Many lines have been lost to the desert, as the government often does not have the funds to repair the lines or even to maintain them. Many lines cross dried up lakebeds and rivers, where ships sunken with their cargoes are buried in the sands....

To better understand where were some important places from previous updates, there is map of west Slovakia. Now, let's stop for a while with Slovakia, and look on the Danube River. It is very important for Slovakia, because of transportation, natural fertile land gained, and also recreation, what Danube provides. Because it is Special update, I will not focus on Slovakia. The river Danube begins in Germany, in Schwarzwald as a small stream, and after that small river. It flows as a small river through land of Germany, joining many other rivers, and growing in size. Many important and big cities were built on Danube, including (of course!)Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, or Ulm. After that, it comes through grand Vienna, beautiful historical city just near Bratislava. Just near the Bratislava, there are many lowland swamp forests near the Danube, with many rare animals and plants present. Last picture there will be city of Budapest, the capital of Hungary, known for its massive, beautiful parliament. We will not go further, because, of course, we are going to return back to the Slovakia and continue on the further east. If you enjoyed this update, please comment!

Replies: TowerDude: I originally tried it because you tried it haha. So credit you you. Thanks 9988: Thanks, though this update isn't with the seaside. ROFLyoshi: Glad to see it helped, so I will continue that. Oh and I'm considering that suggestion. Maybe some seasalt? So this time I decided to go with 009 Sound System. It seemed perfect with this update. A view of the city with the Matinendan Flag right in the middle! Thanks to the AIN Pack! The only reason why these roads have not been SAMified is because the tree mods won't work with them. SAM will be used in most of my cities... That's it for now! Next post update is unannounced.
