I must say... nice teaser... I'm looking forward to more.. Get ready... the first flight out of Pheonoia Int'l will be coming your way...

I have got to say.. I was skeptical of "New Los Angeles" but I'll at least give it a shot.. Its looks good so far, I must tell you.

One word... WhataMESS! -10/-10 Wow... I know people take price in their shop but... c'mon... It would ironic if that resturant was actually suffering from no customers... how torturous it must be for the manager to see so many cars and no customers!

Excellent stuff there! Oh, uhem... The Feather, the national newspaper of Pheonoia, would like to carry the developing story in New Burgundy. -Jarath Kosef Editor-in-Chief of "The Feather"

Hey guys... well I have been aching to try CL2008, however when I tried installing it on my Vista computer, it worked, but when I tried to play the game it would stop responding and close out. So now I have a laptop with XP, and when I try to install the game, I get to the screen that asks where you want to install the game, but the install button is faded out and won't click. Help!

Ok.. yes I did work on the mountains, flattened it quite a bit. Now it is time for the next attempt. I ask you say what I should change, add, get rid of, etc, and I'll see if I can accomadate it. Links and pictures would be helpful... Besides the obvious... the large parking area is short term and long term, while the structures are valet and long term... And it was just suggested I rely only on the ACB VLT Terminals And Jets Series 1, so I got that part taken care of.

Hey guys, I do not have a complete airport.. this will be my first attempt at one, so here is what I have planned out: Ok, not much, but I would like some feedback. The Runways are currently just placeholders.. where I plan to place the real ones... any suggestions?

Hey Vandy, I never heard back from you over my Pm... did you get it?

Excellent work! Kudos! (cant think of anything helpful right now..)

Oh, you mean to tell me that every athlete will make it out of harm just like that? That maybe an athlete "getting ill" just isn't going to happen? Oh well, nice CJ.. will be back.

Nice work, there, I like how you incorperated the buildings.

Hey all, sorry for the wait, with finals and such.. things have been tough..... but here goes: pipishere - Thank you, I couldn't have a Union nation born under Atlantis without a little bit of Atlantian archtexture, now could I? suplado! - Took me all of November to get it right.. it just hadn't looked the way I wanted it until reght before the update. Deathtoall - Thanks, stay tuned for more live pictures, I find you can only tell so much with aerial shots. You need some groundwork photos to really give the sense. Leech10 - Of course, I aim to please. Hope you enjoy the next update. zelgadis - Hello, and welcome to the Grand Republic of Pheonoia! I hope you enjoy your stay. auh2o - I know, huh? I love the mountain areas, but only in the winter, really.. well, onward to the update. Update 2.2: The Rest of Old Town Mt. Fresca Well, its late December, and you know what that means, its Christmas in Mt. Fresca. While Downtown still has the hustle and bustle, I think we should at least stay in Old Town. Besides, Old Town is the only place where its the Christmas Holiday, not the Holiday Season. This tradition goes back to the first people, who really went all out on Christmas. The town at that time was completely Christian and Catholic (Fresciopa was Roman Catholic), and from there, it just stuck. Even the minor Jewish population had taken part int he Christmas celebration, to the point that anyone with a problem just didn't live there. Today, for the most part, the city is very neutral to the holiday season, but Old Town still keeps its tradition. In order to live there, you have to agree for a full holiday display, and be a member of the community. So, lets see some key areas for Holiday enjoyment. Here is the first modern schools in the city, Newhall Elementary and Middle School, and to the left it, Fresca County High School. Why would I dare show schools? Well, every year Old Town has the Historic Mt. Fresca Christmas Parade, which starts on Farralone Rd, and drives right up to City Hall for an end of parade festival. In fact, you are just in time, take a look: Ok, I know, that banner clearly was fixed, but c'mon, the school used to be called Sheppard County... why keep the name of the dictator? Anyways, FCHS is rather happy, probably because they won the first National Marching Band Competition, just bearly beating out Paradise Valley High School with their "Tribute to John Williams" set. Very superb. First act was Harry Potter, followed by Star Wars, and ending with Indiana Jones. Look, its the Make a Wish children on Engine 15 of the Mt. Fresca Fire Department. Make a Wish this year raised 154 million Pheonoian Dollars for displaced children of Pheonoia. Awww, aren't they cute? Its the Little Strings, a group that meets at the Elemtary school, and teaches young kids the wonders of musicianship. Ok, that was fun, now, lets see the rest of teh Old Town....

*Borat pops out of nowhere* Itsa nnice! Very Nnice! If you were in my homeland, you would be god now. *Borat pops out*

Welcome to the City of Mt. Fresca, Pheonoia Part 2.1: Historic "Old Town Mt. Fresca" Far from the hustle of the rebuild process, and north of Paradise Valley, Phoenoia, lies one of the best known cities of Pheonoia. This city, of course, is Mt. Fresca. Nestled in the shadow of Mt. Fresca, shown above, the city is the highest city in Paradise Valley. Which is fitting considering that Fresca Peak is the highest point in Phoenoia, as well as the rest of Pacific Island. Fresca Peak is also nearly the highest point in North America, only beaten out by Mt. McKinley by a mere 500 feet. Currently Mt. Fresca (the city) is experiencing some pretty good snowfall, and temperatures range from 13-56 degrees Farenheit (-10.6 - 13.3 degrees Centigrade). Today we are going to the most sacred part of Mt. Fresca. To a district of the city named "Old Town" Mt. Fresca, a snapshot of time (on the outside) where tourists can come and visit the beginings of the town. This first shot is of Town Square and City Hall are located. The center of the park was where the statue of the founder, Jason Fresciopa, had stood, before being blown by a homemade explosive from an RNAI-supporting Mt. Fresca Resident. Plans are already underway to construct another statue of the founder, to fill the hole in the middle of an otherwise beautiful historic park. It should also be noted the uniquness of City Hall. While normal looking, City Hall is still what it says, the City Hall of Mt. Fresca. Even with the city's expansion and the movement of most government offices downtown, City Hall passed a law that City Hall may never move from its location, or to another building. Another point that makes this a historic setting. The current mayor, Joseph Cross, is rather proud of his city, and is not a mayor to stay cooped up inside. You can see him outside, usually at Town Square. Surrounding Town Quare, and growing outwards is the Commerce Center. Begining from just the area around the Square, the Commerce center was the cause of such growth, as it just continued growing out, adding more residence and starting a trend. One notable feature (that many find ugly) is the foundation built under many of these stores, lifted the land level enough to build on. However, a city law for the "Old Town" allows for restoration only, however the building themselves may not be rebuilt for a more appealing look. Its just eyecandy that residents have learned to ignore, and tourists have learned to respect. Of course, the reason for the start of the city is the residents here. Starting from a single dirt road, the Old Town boasts street with the classic mountain cabins. The oldes cabins are the larger ones, home to the richer residents. These cabins are still used as a residential building, as noted by the smoke coming from them. Again, no other buildings or construction work may be used, however, many of the residents here bought the houses long since vacated by the original owners. Lining the original residentials is Service R

The Grand Republic of Pheonoia presents: Part 2: The City of Mt. Fresca This is actually the prelude to Part 2, which will be posted in a few minutes. This will give some history of Mt. Fresca, curtousy of the SCJU Union Wiki. (Or, will be). The History of Mt. Fresca The city of Mt. Fresca was founded in 1985 by mountaineer and explorer Jason Fresciopa, an Italian-born American citizen known for climbing every peak in the 50 states. But there was one mountain he had not climbed. The govenor of the state of Pheonoia agreed to let the first person to scale the highest peak in the state to give the mountain the official name. After a harrowing 2 weeks, with thinner air and freezing temperatures, Fresciopa planted the state flag, with his name sewn onto it, into the top peak on February 7th, 1984. As promised, the Govenor allow Fresciopa to use his name as the name of the mountain, but when the reporters could not accuratly spell it, he changed the name of the mountain to Fresca. In July of 1984, Jason built a cabin at the base of the mountain, having bought the land of the mountain using an inheritance from a relative. He reserved the mountain as a National Park, after much petitioning in Congress, and from there devted his life to the mountain. In September the 24th, 1984, Fresca Peak National Park was made official, and open to naturalists, tourist, recreationalists, and most importantly, mountain climbers. Jason's love was mountain climbing, and his days in the next months were spent hiking the mountain, trying to find every possible route for every level of hiking and mountain climbing. On December 13, 1984, Jason and some of his close friend built the Fresca National Park Vistor Center, where campers and climbers alike could come check in, and get all the information they needed to enjoy a trip to the mountain. The first few months were slow, as it was deep in the winter season. However, as spring came in March and April, the number of guests to the park skyrocketed. Slowly more facilites were built to sustain the influx of tourists, and the Fresca Village was born. Jason was doing near daily tours up parts of the mountain. One blow was Jason declining an offer from a company to buy out the mountain, as it would have resulted in trams and lifts on the mountain, defeating the purpose of the park. By late August, the number of permanent residents had increase far past the tourist "Village" could handle. Jason was forced to give a housing company a contract, and small cabins were built up, the start of a neighborhood. This continued into September and October, and in late November of 1985, the number of residents officially declared the area a town. It was a near unanimous desicion to elect Jason as the Mayorial representative of the town, which adopted the name of the mountain. November 13, 1985 was the official birth of the city of Mt. Fresca. The city quickly grew, as more and more people discovered the lushness of living the small town mountain life. In no time, the town became an ideal location in the state of Pheonoia, surpassing even Aspen, Colorado, as the winter hotspot of the United States. Then, in the 1993, the uprising of the Regime of Non-American Islanders occured, and the emergency election of 1994 occured, seperating Mt. Fresca from the United States. Mayor Fresciopa, who was a proud American, renounced the action of Sheppard, but did nothing more. The city declared itself neutral from the struggle between the RNAI and the Patriots, and beefed up its police force to counter any hostilites in the city. For now, the city seemed to return to its peaceful nature, now a growing city with a busting downtown. Unforu

I personally think this is just a joke.. I mean, c'mon, even designers always make surethey designs builds to be buildable...

Vista won't let you? A modified Invermere map was the first map I downloaded on Vista, and now serves as my capital. Now the mapper I could never get to work, but Terraformer did work. Are you sure you allowed it?

Nice work as always... I could never hope to get something as grand as that.. but then again, if I could, there would be no other room left... Btw, didn't you say you had more embassys to show?

Hey all, sorry for the long wait... but I hope it was well worth it! Here is the last portion of part A: Paradise Valley. auh2o - The Park, like many of my landmarks, are dervied from outside sources. I hope you will enjoy this update. belfastuniguy - This update, and what is in it, is brought to you by the Imperial Kingdom of Atlantis. Without your help, Micheal, I do not hting it would have ever turned out as good as it did (even if its not as fancy as your design..) xiziz - Repeativeness... why would Maxis have so few buildings? Oh well, I'm adding more buildings, this post should show very little, fi any. suplado! - Yeah, a central park.. more like a suburb major park... but yeah. cleaner475 - Methinks my fault is my maxis areas... I will add more and more custom content. Thank you. Mike the Mayor - 'Allo Mike. Thank you, enjoy this next update. bbfan02 - Thank you, not as sprawly as most suburbs, it functions as its own city. Hope you like this next update. Leech10 - Hey Leech, the wait is now over! (For now at least) And now.. on to the update... Update 5: The Presidential Park, and the Captial District December 1, 2007 Atlantis, an ally and major liberator of Pheonoia, flew the entire governing staff from their temporary governmental location of the Atlantian ship, the Caladon, to the banks of Shatanoga Lake, across the way from the Capital District. In a grand unveiling, the President was introduced to his new office, and the nation was able to see it's government headquarters. The headquarter, known once again as the "Presidential Park", was build with typical Atlantian architexture, while giveng added security. Already it is federal law that no other building may come within 100 yards of the Park, which is why the surronding area has park trees. An intricate road network inside the park gives it a grand, and safe, appearance. There are only two road access points within the park, a back exit to the Union Plaza, and the major "Entrance Plaza". The Entrance Plaza consists of the Central Fountain, which is the first part of the gardens, and leads to the Presidential Plaza, with its iconic World as One Color, a design by local artist Sam Ell. (See my Contest Entry for the Day In the City) In addition, the Entrance Park is lined with seasonal trees that change for the beauty of the public. Currently, as a special gift, this is going to the only time the trees will blossom in early Demeber, but it was part of the presentation.Within a few days the trees will lose the blossoms, and return to their natural state. The Gardens extend quite a bit into the Park, which is the biggest reason for its naming being a Park. At this point, however, the Gardens are referred to as the Presidential Gardens. Thought not very flowery, the trees here are also seasonal, and there is always something different that shows year round. As you can see here, there is a ring in the shape of a 'D' of blossom trees, an added touch. To the other side of

Sorry for the long delay.. been getting help about my next update. But here is something to hold you all over.. a sneak peak.. if you will... Will update asap!!

Nice, I will send you a PM in a minute, do what you can, when you can.

Definatly somthing for any buisnessman to aspire to.

Excellent work.. such grand cities.. I feel.. rather insignificant...

Excellent work, my friend. I better keep an eye on this CJ.

Leech10 - Great to see you here! Hope you enjoy some more. bbfan02 - Personally, that was the most realistic water I liked, but thanks. auh2o - I'm waiting for yours as well. The Ranger station was actually a last minute idea when the whole bridge idea failed... SC4 would not allow it. Mike the Mayor - Yeah... somehow I'm guessing there is a reason why the police don't mind that... oh well. I actually took time for the suburb areas. suplado! - Thanks, the coasta areas are the things I get most frustrated with.. especially the road corners. Update 4: Heross Hills The capital city of Paradise Valley is split in the middle by the Silver River. Or least, it used to be. In a valient attempt to block more RNAI ships from coming down the river from the north, President Gabreles had authroized the sabotage of the bridges crossing the river. While sucessful, the result was a blockage that formed, and the Silver River slipt out its banks into the city. After much discussion, it was decided that the lake would remain, as a rememberance of what the city had to do, and in doing so, the Shatanoga Lake was formed. But even with the lake, the city is still split down the middle, mostly with the city center on one side, and the residential on the other. The residential side, known as the West Bank also extends out into the suburb of Paradise Valley. This 'burb, is majorly known as Heross Hills. (Argh! Forgive the Maxis Repeats!!) Heross Hills is not your typical suburb in the traditional sense. The city of Heross Hills is self sustaining, and can be its own city. It even has its own downtown district. However, the people who reside in Heross Hills are quite content with be citizens of Paradise Valley. One of the major defining features that describe Heross Hills as a suburb is the Heross Hills Mall, smack dab in the middle of the city. This mall pales in comparison to another mall being rebuilt, the Paradise Valley Galleria. Still, from its reopen, it was clear that rebuildng the mall was a great choice, as immediatly residence begam to come in and shop, a sign of life returning to normal. The city of Heross Hills gets it name from its founder, James Heross, who built his own distant from the banks of the river to find solace in the beauty of the area. His home quickly grew to a development of a small neighborhood, and from there stopped. One of the oldest city ordinance states that Heross Hill, and its gated community up top, may not developed any more than how it is, and so, with the exception of Union Avenue to the right of the hill, there is no further deveolpment of the gated community, it's church, or its park. This is one of the oldest standing residences of the city. The Heross Hills National Cemetary is the second largest cemetary in Paradise Valley, the large being the Pheonoia National Cemetary in the Capital District. This marks the final resting places of clost to 3 thousand men, woman, and children, who lives were cut short by the RNAI during the war. This is a very solumn place, which stands where the Tristar Apartment complex stood. This was the very spot where RNAI soldiers rounded all those they could find t
