  1. Monta�as Region

    The Montañas region makes up the western area of Martazuela and is home to the country's only mountain range, Cordillera Cortéz. These mountains make the region especially popular among hikers,climbers and just regular tourists. Montañas was also the primary scene of the Martazuelan Gold Rush and the region's capital of La Puebla almost appeared overnight because of it. The region is also one of the largest in the country but is the least populated and poorest of the regions. The regional flag Location of Montañas within Martazuela La Puebla Montañas' capital, La Puebla primarily serves as a base camp for tourists wishing to explore the nearby Cortéz Mountains. However, La Puebla is also one of the smallest regional capital's and is essentially no more than a small town. The town boasts numerous hotels and shops catering to tourists but does not have much in terms of entertainment with the exception of the Museo Cortéz which is housed in one of the oldest buildings in the town and displays the history of the Montañas region. Although La Puebla is considerably isolated in the country there are numerous ways to get to the town. These include by air to the small airport, Aeropuerto las Montañas. Various airlines offer flights to most of the major cities in the country and there is a weekly flight to Montevideo in Uruguay.The airport also has a helipad which offers flights into the mountains. By rail, one can take a train to the city of Paraquéz then transfer onto the Paraquéz-La Puebla train. By bus, although the slowest way to travel to the town and fairly dangerous due to the poor mountain roads it is also the cheapest. MartaBus offers routes daily from Paraquéz and Santo Fidel and a weekly route from Valperegas. An example of the typical architecture of La Puebla. The centre of the regional government, Casa de las Montañas. the Hospital de Santa Teresa is the main hospital in the Montañas region. It is one of the few hospitals in the region and frequently has to take in airlifted victims from the mountains. La Puebla's Centro Comercial(shopping centre) The Mercado Central(Central Market) unlike the nearby outdoor shopping mall offers things such as traditional handicrafts,local food,groceries and numerous other merchandise. Due to its central location it is also a popular meeting place for locals. The large building on the right is a hotel. Estación La Puebla is the primary rail gateway to the region.

  2. La Capital Region

    Flag of the La Capital region. Location of the La Capital region within Martazuela. ABOUT Located in the heart of Martazuela, La Capital is the smallest but most populated region. The region is generally flat with the exception of a small patch of hills and mountains in the west. La Capital is possibly the most important region in the country as it is home to the nation`s capital of Valperegas. Valperegas Valperegas is the capital of Martazuela and is also the largest city in the country. Situated on the banks of the Rio Azul and located in the heart of Martazuela it is natural that the city serves as the political,economical,cultural and transportation hub of the nation. The city has a population of 2 133 000 and is located in the La Capital region. Parlamento Nacional(National Parliament Building) Catedral Nuestra Señora de la Paz (Our Lady of Peace Cathedral) El Palacio(The Palace) is the former presidential residence and seat of parliament. Today it is the Museo Nacional (National Museum) The current presidential residence, Casa Presidencial is located on the north side of Plaza Indepencia and overlooks the square. The Puerta de la Libertad (Freedom Gate) is located on the major avenue, Avenida Colona. It historically marked the entrance to the capital however due to urban growth the gate now lies in the centre of the city. The monument in the central of Plaza Indepencia represents the Martazuelan people claiming independence. A section of the boardwalk along the riverfront. Headquarters of the Martazuelan Ministry of Transportation (which owns the country's airports,railways and ports) The Playas Urbanas (Urban Beaches) is a small stretch of sandy beach on the Río Azul. Although they arn't as nice as the beaches on the Atlantic coast and the weather isn't as good they still offer the citizens of the city a nearby refuge from the hustle and bustle of everyday life in Valperegas. Headquarters of Martazuela's main bank, Banco Nacional. Puente Liberacion(Liberation Bridges) .(Front) The iconic Torre Universidad (University Tower) is one of the city's most bizarre structures. Built in the mid 1960's as a way to add space to the increasingly crowded University of Martazuela, Martazuelan architect, Javier Santiago designed this tower to house dormitory rooms,classrooms,offices and even a small shopping centre. The tower was also designed to be symmetrical at the top and the bottom. At first, many have criticized the building for being too tall, unattractive, too bizarre and some have even called it a scar on the face of Valeregas. However, today the tower has become a symbol of the city and one that many are beginning to love. Due to the building's size and large amount of space only half of the tower ended up being used by the university so the top half remained empty for many years. Recently however, a large hotel chain purchased the upper 15 floors and converted it into a five star hotel complete with a pool, restaurant and observation deck.

    Capital City: Valenna Official Languages: Valvanian Population: 2,023,005 Major Cities and Towns: Petrovosk,Johannesgrad,Nizhny Vorostok, Sertovyet,Smyrvosk,Proznya,Jaroslava. Autonomous Regions: Czechvia Highest Point-Mount Jaroslavic Religion: Valvanian Orthodox Independence Day: June 15 1990 Major Exports: Oil,Minerals,Cars,Machinery,Consumer Goods,Foodstuffs. Major Imports: Textiles,Fruit,Transportation,Electronics. National Anthem: Marca Vpradmi Valienska! (March Onward Valvania!) Currency: Valvanian Dinara Flag of Valvania Coat of Arms NOTE: Although Valvania is now a democratic nation the communist-era symbols are still being used. MAP OF VALVANIA History The time which Valvania was founded remains unsure but most historians believe it to have been around 1600. Following its founding Valvania suffered quickly from both Ottoman and Austrian invasions. However, the newly created nation remained independent and managed to keep a hold on its land. In 1723 the infamous King Ferdinand II came into power and drove the country into great wealth by establishing the country as a trading post between the Ottoman Empire and the rest of Europe. Ferdinand II also took on massive projects such as the construction of numerous towns and cities including the capital of Valenna, canal systems, and a road network which at the time was considered to be one of the most advanced. After his death the throne was taken by Ferdinand's eldest son Prince Josef. The newly crowned king is also infamous, for the near collapse of the Principality of Valvania. By 1800 King Josef had sold off a large piece of Valvania (Now Czechvia) to the Ottoman territory in exchange for a large sum of money and the country was now at risk of being entirely captured by the Ottomans. Then in 1812 the expected Ottoman invasion occured and the Valvanians fought fiercely against them while King Josef fled to Constantinople(where he was later captured by Valvanian soldiers and sentenced to execution for treason). After a bloody war the Valvanians surprisingly had won and the entire kingdom was returned to them. The country remained at peace for most of the 1800s and the nation began to rebuild itself and thrive. During this period a railroad was constructed, the capital was moved to Johannesgrad(since Valenna was destroyed during the Ottoman invasion) and for the first time, a woman took the throne,Queen Anastasia. The years of peace and economic stability began to crumble at the beginning of the 1900s when Valvania joined Romania,Greece, Serbia,Montenegro and Turkey against Bulgaria in the Second Balkan War. When the World War 1 broke out Valvania declared neutrality even when its neighbors went to war. While Europe rebuilt itself from the war Valvania continued to prosper. When World War 2 broke out Valvania again declared neutrality and even served as a sanctuary for Jews and other groups fleeing prosecution in Nazi Germany. However, when the Germans learned of this they planned an attack on Valvania. At this time, although being neutral Valvania allied itself with the Soviet Union for protection. This proved to be a wise decision as after two years of fighting the Germans retreated. However, it was at this time that the Soviet Union used its position to influence Valvania into becoming a communist nation and after a large referendum a new communist based government was put into place and Valvania now became the Democratic Republic of Valvania (Republiski Dyemokratsk Valvienska). At this time new state companies were formed, farms were collectictivized and the industry sector was re-organized. The ruling of the Valvanian Communist Party seemed to change Valvania into a new and more powerful nation and with the creation of Yugoslavia and communist Romania the nation was in a secure location. However, on January 16 1963 Frederik Kostorovic took total control of Valvania and became the nation's dictator. During his rule the capital was moved to Valenna and Kosotrovic began his Ten Year Reform. This period was probably the worst for the country and was marked by events such as the Great Famine in 1968, the start of the Valvanian-Czechvian conflict and the increase in tensions with Eastern Bloc allies. Then in 1978 Kosotrovic was overthrown and imprisoned and the new leader,Miri Ferdinov took his place. Ferdinov was soon praised for his re-structuring of the country and the lessening of restrictions imposed upon the Valvanian citizens. Despite his praise a group of Czechvian opposers of Ferdinov(who would later form the Czechvian Rebels terrorist group) launched an attack on Valenna and in the process killed President Ferdinov. It wasn't until 1990 that the country regained proper control thanks to a referendum held by the new acting president, Mikhael Roschev. The referendum was to establish whether Valvania should remain communist or become a democracy. The results were obvious and on June 15 1990 the Republic of Valvania was established. Following this, the newly elected parliament began the long process of repairing the effects of communism on the country and slowly companies and farms were privatized, western companies moved in and new treaty's were signed with western nations. Today, the country is continuing to move forward although it is still a long way from repairing itself completely and the Czechvian-Valvanian War continues to be a problem for the country's growth. Transportation The Valvanian transport system is considered to be one of the best in Eastern Europe. The national transportation agency, Dopravny Autskostav Valvienski (Valvania Transport Authority) serves as the umbrella company for the Predniva Zeleznik Valvienski(Valvanian Railways Company) and the national airline, Valvanian Airlines. AIR The Republic of Valvania has three international airports. Valenna-Pradiema International Airport is by far the largest in both passengers and flights. The airport serves as the main gateway to the country and serves over 82 destinations. The next largest airport is Johannesgrad International Airport which is the country's southern airport and with the exception of a few international flights most of them are domestic. The third airport is Vladimir Kjiric Airport located just outside of Bordska in the Czechvian Region. Due to the war most airlines have ceased their operations to Vladimir Kjiric with the exception of the local airline Air Czechvia. The national airline is Valvanian Airlines and its hub is in Valenna. The airline flies to many major cities in mainly Europe but also runs seasonal routes to New York,Cairo,Tbilisi and Astana.. Valenna-Pradiema International Airport. Valvanian Airlines RAIL The Valvanian rail network is one of the countries most popular forms of transportation. Thanks to the upgraded system one can reach any town or city in the country on one of the system's new trains. There are two main rail hubs in Valvania, the main one is in Valenna and the other is in Johannesgrad. The logo of the Valvanian Railway Company (Predniva Zeleznik Valvienski) ROAD Following the fall of communism a massive highway project was undertaken in order to upgrade the deteriorating and outdated highways throughout the country. Today the highways are organized into three classifications, the A highways(Autyostraska) are the national highways and consist of the A3(North-South),A6(East-West) and the A12(Northwest-Southeast). The next classification are the R highways(Regionalya). These are smaller and slower speed highways and primarily only run for a distance up to 100 kms. They are divided into the R2(Southern region),R4(Eastern region),R6(Western region),R8(Northern region or Czechvia). The last class are the very congested and slow M Highways(Meznyam). These are the local highways that run within the cities. Some of the major local highways include the Mv(Valenna),Mj(Johannesgrad),Mp(Petroprovosk) and Mnc(Novistajia,Czechvian region).
  12. Johannesgrad

    Located in southwestern Valvania, Johannesgrad is the country's second largest city. For some time Johannesgrad served as the nation's capital after the Ottoman invasion and due to the fact that no war or conflict has ever reached Johannesgrad the city has numerous examples of centuries old architecture and is reknowned for its canal system. During the communist-era Johannesgrad served as the unofficial secondary capital city of Valvania and although the majority of the government offices were located in Valenna, places such as the People's Palace (the headquarters for the defense and other smaller ministries) and the National Court were located in Johannesgrad. Today, the city is the most popular tourist city in the country and thousands flock annually to see Johannesgrad's beautiful architecture and more laid back lifestyle. People's Palace. The building's huge size can be seen when compared to the Central Station in front of it.Today, the building houses additional government administration offices and is still the headquarters for the Ministry of Defese. However, the left wing of the building has been converted into a museum. This communist era office building once served as the headquarters for the former Vladya Automotive company. However, when the company went bankrupt the building was converted into a hotel. These houses are just an example of the beautiful architecture that can be seen throughout the city. These two buildings known were originally both used for the National Court of Valvania however, when the communist-era ended the majority of the government offices and national organizations were moved to Valenna. Today, the building on the right is the Johannesgrad Art Gallery and the one on the left now serves as a convention centre. Even Johannesgrad wasn't able to escape the pop up of pre-fab apartment blocks during the communist era. One can see the contrast with the centuries old houses and buildings around them.

St.Anaïs Franc St.Anaïs from the air History The Collectivity of St.Anaïs( ah-nah-iss) was first founded by a group of Spanish colonists who discovered the islands in 1763. Following their discovery the islands thrived under Spanish rule. Thousands of settlers came to the islands from Spain to start a new life. The soil was rich and fertile which resulted in the construction of many sucessful plantations. They called the islands, Islas del Paraíso(Islands of Paradise). However, the years of peace and calm came to an end in 1790 when a fleet of French ships came into the harbour of Puerto Alegre(Now Franceville) and invaded the town. After weeks of vicious fighting the French defeated the Spanish and the Spaniards retreated back to Spain or to South America. Following the French takeover, the entire colony was renamed, St.Anaïs and the remaining Spaniards on the islands were taught French and worked on the plantations. The colonization of St.Anaïs was one of the most sucessful. Thanks to the islands location, resources and its beauty thousands of French settlers were attracted to the islands and St.Anaïs prospered. In 1890 a large group of islanders of Spanish descent demanded to be given their own island in which they could rule on their own. This was denied by the French government and in turn the descendents revolted and demanded autonomy of their culture. This revolution lasted until 1903 and during the time hundreds of the revolutionaries were arrested, deported and even executed. Following this the relations between the French and the Spanish became bitter for some time. In 1915 a famine overtook the islands and hundreds died of starvation. In addition to this the St.Anaïsien economy fell as well which made St.Anaïs one of the poorest territories in the Caribbean. In 1919, the French government intervened and began a number of projects which increased jobs and boosted the economy. The years following this were peaceful and St.Anaïs slowly began to rebuild itself. Then in the late 60's the St.Anaïsiens decided to demand independence from France. The French government denied their request and after many attempts a referendum was taken on June 15 1971 and the result was obvious, St.Anaïs voted on indepence. After numerous discussions and conflicts with France the territory was awarded full sovereignty on January 12 1972. Following their independence, St.Anaïs developed its own culture and the new nation became one of the most prosperous nations in the Caribbean. Today, the country attracts thousands of tourists annually thanks to St.Anaïs' beautiful scenery and interesting history. People St.Anaïsiens come from countless backgrounds and speak numerous languages however,the main ethnic groups are; White 55% Black 20% Mulatto 15% Asian 5% Languages The two official languages of St.Anaïs are French and St.Anaïsien Creole (A mix of French, Spanish and African language). French is by far the most spoken language while Creole is not far behind. Other significant languages are Spanish, English and various West African dialects. Japanese, Mandarin and Tagalog are also becoming noticable due the growth in Asian immigrants. Transportation Air- There are two airports in St.Anaïs, Jean LaPierre International Airport in Côte Nord and Pointe-Blanche International Airport in the Pointe- Blanche Départissement. The nation has two airlines, Air Anaïs is the national carrier and has flights to North America, South America, and various Caribbean islands. Air Anaïs also operates a seasonal route from Jean LaPierre International to Paris. The other airline, Caraïbe Airways is a domestic carrier but also offers flights to neighbouring islands. Ocean- Due to its location St.Anaïs is a popular hub for ship traffic. In addition to the countless cruise ships and freighters St.Anaïs operates a ferry company, Lignes Navire du St.Anaïs (St.Anaïs Ship Lines) offers various ferry routes around the islands. Road- There are two main roadways in St.Anaïs, the M1 and the M2. The M1 is a road which runs from Côte Nord to Cap-Pélée on Île François and the M2 runs from Pointe-Blanche to Martineau on Île St.Hélène. In addition to the main roads many smaller ones branch off around of them. St.Anaïs also operates a bus line run by the L'Autobus Anaïs which operates routes on all the islands and in all the départissements. There is also a tram system in Franceville. Rail- Recently constructed in 2009 the rail network runs north to south on Île François. It is the fastest way to travel on the island and there are stations in Franceville,Piqinion,Afriqueville and Sangiers-Sur-Mer. Culture Thanks to the large influx of immigrants the St.Anaïsien culture is very diverse and blends French,Spanish and African influences. All around St.Anaïs Calypso, Flamenco,French and traditional African music can be heard. The country is also famous for it's summer music festival which is hosted in Franceville. The festival highlights the musical diversity of the country. St.Anaïs' cuisine is as equally diverse as well and blends ingredients from various ethnic backgrounds into mouthwatering dishes full of tropical flavor.

Franceville was originally founded by Spanish colonists in 1763 and was known as Puerto Alegre. However when a group of French colonists arrived in 1790 they defeated the Spaniards and overtook the islands. The French renamed the capital after their homeland. The St.Anaïsien Parliament Building.

The red line encircles the city and it is easy to reach any destination while the blue line runs to the airport. Although the tram only serves Franceville there are plans to extend the network to serve the entire départissement. The National Library and Archives The Université de St.Anaïs is the country's only university. The George Carteau Concert Hall hosts numerous events from theatre to opera and rock concerts to classical orchestras. The building is famous for its unusual design which many say resemble a lotus. It was designed by the late Anaïsien architect, Charles Marnier. The village of Port Jamaïque. It is located only 5 minutes from Franceville which makes it famous for people wanting to spend the day away from the bustle of the city without going far.
  16. Rail network created on

    Following a long survey the national government approved a plan to construct a railway on Île François. When it was completed on December 19 2009 the railway ran across the entire island. The plan was criticized at first by the public for being too costly and for having the possibility of posing a risk to the wildlife of the island. However, after its completion it became the most popular form of transport on the island mostly because of its speed. For example, one could travel from Franceville to Afriqueville in half an hour instead of two aboard a bus. The rail network(in red) on Île François, If the railway proves to be succesful there have been discussions of expanding the network to Île Ste.Hélène via an underwater tunnel or bridge. Gare Franceville serves as the network's northern terminus. It is also the busiest station of the network. Gare Piqinion is located in the centre of Piqinion,Lucienne. This station was the most controversial since it's construction required the demolition of nearly 13 buildings.
  17. New international airport for C

    Due to the large increase in the S.Anaïsien population and the greater influx of tourists the government decided to replace the small and outdated Jean LaPierre International Airport in the Côte Nord region. After two years of construction on March 6 2010 the new Jean LaPierre Airport opened up with two terminals and two runways which would allow for planes as large as 747s to land at the airport. The old airport following demolition. The new airport two months after being constructed. Terminal A. This terminal is the centre for international flights. Large aircraft such as the 747 and A340 are common visitors and bring thousands of tourists to St.Anaïs. Terminal B. This terminal primarily deals with domestic flights and flights to neighboring Caribbean islands as well as the occasional international flight when Terminal A is too busy. The aircraft here are significantly smaller and consist primarily of turbo props and small jets. The largest aircraft that the terminal can handle is a boeing 737. Since the opening of the new Jean LaPierre International Airport passenger numbers have doubled and a greater number of airlines now serve more destinations than before.
  18. Martineau

    Located on the southern half of Île Ste.Hélène(the second largest island that makes up St.Anaïs) the départissement of Martineau is primarily a region known for its secluded beaches and lush forests. Due to the shape of the area Martineau boasts excellent port facilities which makes it a hub of ocean traffic. The two main settlements in Martineau are Calienne and St.Marcel. Although the départissement does not have as many tourists as on the main island (Île St.François) it is popular for its nightlife in Calienne and the beautiful beaches. The city of Calienne is the second largest in the country after Franceville. It is primarily a centre for trade and commerce thanks to its port facilities. It has a population of 3600 people The town of St.Marcel serves primarily as a commuter town for people who work in Calienne. It is located 6 kms from the city.
  19. Cap-P

    Although St.Anaïs seems to be a picture perfect paradise, in reality it isn't. This can be seen in the départissement of Cap-Pélée. Located at the southern end of Île François, Cap-Pélée is by far the poorest area of the country. This is mainly due to the population being mostly immigrants and the area being mountainous and difficult to farm. The main settlement in Cap-Pélée is Afriqueville. The town was founded in 1803 as a place to house African slaves who worked on plantations. Today, the town has grown and is home to immigrants and workers from all over the world. Afriqueville The abandoned Fort de la Montagne , which housed the slaves when they first arrived looks more like a prison then a housing complex. The factory beside it produces bauxite and adds horrid pollutants to the air over Cap-Pélée. Afriqueville's Little Asia(Petite Asie) is home to a large group of Asian immigrants. On June 14 2006, Mont Henri erupted and destroyed hundreds of homes and businesses in nearby Afriqueville. Piles of rubble dot a neighbourhood of the town after the volcano's eruption. AFRIQUEVILLE RECOVERING FROM THE ERUPTION Following the eruption most of the houses were destroyed. As a result, the majority of the population was homeless and the only solution to get everyone shelter quickly was to erect these plain and ugly prefab apartment blocks and cramped housing compounds. Although they are unattractive and a huge difference from the other St.Anaïsien architecture these prefabricated apartment blocks look like they belong in Eastern Europe. However, these apartments house thousands and actually provide much better living conditions than what the residents of Cap-Pélée had before. In addition to the large apartment blocks these housing compounds provide additonal housing. A branch of the International Aid Organization for Developing Nations(IAODN). Although St.Anaïs isn't officially considered a developing country the region of Cap-Pélée has all the traits of one. After the Mont Henri eruption the organization offered to set up a branch in the region to help with rebuilding,provide medical services and distribute food and water to the poverty stricken population. Afriqueville a year after the eruption.
  20. Haute-Roche

    Haute-Roche is considered to be the most mountainous départissment. After being unhabited for many years the French eventually began building a town along the steep cliffs in 1810. The town became known as Sangiers-Sur-Mer. The town's main purpose was originally to help defend the islands from possible invaders however,the town soon became a centre for the wealthy thanks to its incredible views and relatively isolated location. This made Sangiers-Sur-Mer popular for those wanting to escape the noise and business of St.Anaïs' larger towns and cities. By 1900 the town's population exploded and new buildings were being built constantly. Today,the town continues to be one of the top tourist destinations due to the town's beautiful seaside location, the peaceful atmosphere, the colorful buildings and the stunning views. Around Sangiers-Sur-Mer lush farms and forests cover the mountainous landscape. In addition to the town as being a tourist destination in itself located about 10 kms east of Sangiers-Sur-Mer is the Antoine Jérome Space Centre. The centre is home to a state of the art research facility, a launch pad which docks the space shuttle, Anaïs 1. The spaceport is jointly run and funded by the French and St.Anaïsien governments.

    thank you :)
  22. �le St.Jacques

    Located about 20 kms from Île François, Île St.Jacques seems remote and out of the way however,the island contains some of the best examples of colonial architecture and has become synonymous with the Independent Spanish-Anaïsiens Movement which is an ongoing conflict that revolves around the goal of Spanish descendants taking over Île St.Jacques and turning it into an independent Spanish enclave in a predominantly French region. The island is also known for its lush forests, sandy beaches and its peacefulness. The town of Jamelle is the island's only settlement. It is considered to be the centre of Spanish culture in St.Anaïs. This can be seen in its architecture, traditions and atmosphere. Jamelle is also famous for its colorful buildings. The San Pedro Cathedral is the only Spanish style church in the country. The Musée de la Culture Espagnol(Museum of Spanish Culture). The building was originally the headquarters of the Compañía Española de</span> <span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">Comercio</span> <span class="hps" title="Click for alternate translations">del Caribe</span></span>(Spanish Caribbean Trade Company) and when the French took over it became a mansion for the French founder of St.Anaïs,Jacques Mercier. After he passed away the building was left empty until a group of Spanish descendents in 1921 made it into a museum to highlight the Spanish heritage of St.Anaïs.
