Yughandy (Pronounced You - Ghandi), the capital of Librethia, is a blend of historical cultures that have imprinted themselves in the layout, politics, economics and the background of every area of the city. Through the colonial interest and intervention of a virgin land, a capital has been born bearing the remarkable and beautiful inheritance of Dutch, English, French & Spanish genes. Resting in a comfortably temperate climate, the city favors a leisurely lifestyle and engaging in sporting activities. The city lays on the Eastchaser River that in the colonial history of the metropolis, was the main artery that flowed into the rich fertile farming lands of the frontier. The hills, which in winter can become snow capped, create a topographical dynamic that nurtures multiple suburbs with extremely panoramic views. Influenced by the arts and the lavished wealth, and the showing off said wealth, can be found in the narrow Row's that curve and snake through the old town of Avensen, Arventargo and Oxgate. See Downtown with its pillars of economic might, and the more modern, contemporary 2nd CBD of Broadbank that also boasts touched up relics of its industrial heritage. Explore outwards from the centre of the booming CBD to the progressive, fashionable neighborhoods of Grovemont, Remheimer, Franklin, Clockworthy & Three Corners. Nestle into family living easily with affordable suburban living in the 'Wood District' of Compa, or the picturesque Eastpeth Valley. I Apologise for the watermark on the video!! Please watch the introduction video to gain more of an insight to the city & whats to come. In reality, the city is nearing 300K, and there are many more areas I need to work on. The north is first and foremost for further development. I would LOVE to hear your feedback, and or suggestions. I will continue to update the journal as I progress, and as time becomes available to shoot new areas that are already established. The Commerce Bridge. The historic bridge connects 'The Finger' and 'Arventargo', over the canal that used to usher in the economic stock and power that came to, and left the budding colony. It was saved in the early part of the 20th century, as the advent of air travel had yet to begin, and talks were happening about the widening of the canal to allow for a international berthing dock to be built to cater for higher class ocean vessels & passengers. It stands proud of its past, and still today as a crucial piece of infrastructure. In the picture, we can also see the Viceroy's Fountain, and behind it, the Opera House, and immediatly behind the bridge is the Yughandy Counting House & Four Season's 'Canal' Hotel. The 2nd CBD of Broadbank can be seen in the background. This canal was the heart of commercial trade only until recently. The Tower of Santa Maria. In the past, especially with the strong Spanish influence, it was said that no one who lived within the colony of Yughandy would be granted entry to heaven unless they lived within the sight of the Tower of Santa Maria. Parliment Bridge. Looking over the connection that links downtown to the heart of the political sanctum. The view is looking over 'The Finger' towards the Wjik and Downtown. The CBD. The winding spagetti junction of the M1 and M2 creates a dramatic scene in contrast to the skyline. The motorways were additional features in the 1960s, and were built over the existing infrastructure to try and retain as much of the original layout of the city grid as possible. Not all of it could be, and so the area under the pylons is a hotbed for homeless activity and congregation. The motorways also separate Downtown from Grovemont, and Grovemont from Remheimer. A fair number of cab drivers who conduct business in these consequential sectors of the CBD will viciously fight for their territory claims. The Port Authority. Located at the tip of the Wjik, and at an important junction on the Eastchaser River, the Port Authority rules over the waters with its busty glory. This was the headquaters of all marine operations from the beginning of the industrial revolution to only recently in the 1960s. In the 19th century, when the Wijk was the furthest extent of Dutch territory, the Port Authority served temporarily as the capital of the Dutch colony. I will use this as an opportunity to explain that historically, Yughandy was split at this very river junction, between the English (who controlled Downtown and Grovemont), the Dutch (who owned the Wjik) and the French/Spanish (who co-ruled the old bank, with the old town districts of Avensen, Arventargo and Oxgate).
