I expect 2008 computers to be more enhanced, so some of my ideas might sound a bit radical. Menu Okay, I'm tired of having to look through god knows how much downloaded lots, to find that originally-in-game CN Tower. Maybe there should be one seperate menu for downloaded lots. Diversity Looks like the educational board's signature colour is red. The schools are red, the high schools are red, the college is red, the university is in some... screwed red. The health society's signature colour can be white, and so on. Maybe have 10-20 different types of each building, and you should be able to pick which colour, few windows or a lot of windows and be able to choose the amount of pavement and the size of the parking lot around the infrastructure. Kinda like the Sims 2, except you're not building a house. Maybe be able to a Chinatown, a Little Italy. The world isn't always "one". I mean... I'm trying to building those Arabian cities with buildings made of sand, mosques and palaces. I'm sure everybody in the whole world doesn't go to one place called "the house of worship" to worship. Maybe there should be city issues relating to it too, like "Religous Christians unimpressed by the lack of churches" and the financial advisor saying " 'Money is the route of all evil' Religous extremists burning money, reduce spending on religion!". I don't think we should make reference to real religions though, probably "Simianity" and "Aerosim". Wouldn't it be cool if cities could have their own demographics?! Maybe we should put sims with different languages as well. Culture There're more sports than just American Football and soccer. There should be basketball halls, major cricket grounds and... ICE RINKS! Also, why not let the city have its own franchise restaurant? That'd be neat. Transportation I'm all up for diagonality, I mean, it kills these days just to make a cul-de-sac. The world isn' cubed! I also hate how the road doesn't compromise with buildings, on a hill, the building is just flat, and the road starts flying all over the place. It would also be neat to decide if trees go on the sidewalk or not, instead of the game doing it's randomization business. I hope they've heard of "roundabouts" (I know I could just download NAM, but that's bigamy). Economy I hope Maxis realizes that most theatres, swimming pools and (some) hotels/motels are actually run by the mayor/government. Also, which city/country/region puts 96% of its reliability on taxes? It'd be neat if the city can have tourism, and VAT (I'm a hypocrite, that's taxes!). Wow... Tourism, that'd be fun! They should come to the ciy because, beauty (parks and stuff), landmarks, countryside and city life. That'd be a big economic powerhouse there. Then you should be able to construct hotels for them, which would then generate revenue. Others The climate and terrain thingy. And be able to build huge parks, maybe even national parks and theme parks. Yatch clubs, more of the same rewards (10 different types of city halls to select from, I mean the three which're there right now, they're atrocious). etc. etc.

Is there an actual Centre of the World?. If so then it must be Kiribati or that place under Lagos, Indonesia, Mount Kenya or the Amazon river, The world is round therefore it has not centre. Edit: Since it's all about neutral countries, why not pick Gothenburg, Sweden? It's preety, it's neutral, it definantly has more Economic power then Geneva or Zurich (Population: 487,200 and 879,000 in the metropolian area).

Well, Simcity isn't working for me right now. But I do remember that it's below 9% for the residentials and commercial (I don't spend much really). However the industraial tax rates are above 10% (40,000 industrial jobs the last time i checked) 8-)

US is a group of states (which is treated as a province) that forms one nation. @mancoolman That's not being neutral, having it in Canada favors Canada. It has to be in a neutral country for it to be stable. @callagrafx yeah, you're right, people in this thread were misled to think that what we are trying to find here... it's actually "W" LOL!quote> How could you say Canada isn't neautral? Sure the country as a whole isn't neutral doesn't mean the every single place isn't neutral, even though in every single thread i'd been against the city I'd pick Vancouver (change my vote for NY please ). Surronded by mountains means it completly neutral, a lot of economic power (1.9 million people) and was also ranked the best city to live in, sure it might be unknown, but when I was young I was stupid enough to think Toronto was the capital. O'Canada! (Calgary isn't a bad idea either).

Me, I use the demand bar as another way of saying "We want taxes". That way you can increase taxes on R$ if there is a 6000 demand and not worry about your city not growing. Anyways, it can be a bummer if you put your taxes above 11%.

If I had to pick for no acctual reason, I'd pick Toronto. But seeming i have to give a reason... I'd pick NYC, it's nick name is capital of the world.. It has the UN headquarters the World Bank, basically the whole world concentrates on NY, it's probably the most notable city in the world! Sorry to burst your bubble London, but you would've been a good capital... for the 19th century...

Originally posted by: MikeO Haljackey, that isn't multiculturalism. Having lots of people from outside the city belonging to one or two cultures isn't multicultural. I explained myself above, and London is the most multicultural, as it has the most cultures. Maybe not the most people belonging to a different culture (or two), but the most cultures, and that's what multiculturalism means. quote> Bah, you're not counting the precentages that makes BIG difference. Toronto barley has 8 million people in the GTA, while London can be extended to about 15 million. I'd say in this war... PERCENTAGES COUNT! Giving Toronto the win . GOO CaNaDa xD. Edit: Just found out... Toronto only has 5 million in the GTA, that was 8 million in the Golden Horseshoe giving us a better win .

Canada:. 1) Population will be a little higher than 60 million.. 2) Urban population would be/more than 90%. 3) BC will have more people then Quebec. 4) Turks & Cacios Islands will now be a territory of Canada but somewhere in 2034-2038 they will become a province with about 200,000 people. 5) Some US States would be given to Canada due to majority population rebelling against US presidency (notice the countries that lost the 2004 election are closer to Canada?). 6) An earthquake will hit Vancouver/ Vancouver Island only killing about 100 people but leaving 8,200 people homeless. 7) Increased amount of tornadoes in Southern Ontario and South-western Quebec. Canada will win Hans Island and more arctic islands along the way. 9) There will be more Tim Hortins in North America than Wal-mart. 10) Wal-mart will be bought out by Zellers. 11) The Canadian Dollar will shift its name to The Canadian Loonie. 12) The Canadian Loonie will be stronger then the US Dollars (Just look at the exchange rates now!). 13) Canada would have to look for a new trading partner because USA has lost all its $$$. 14) The Bloc-Quebecois party would be outlawed because they elected the Prime minister which made a fail attempt to Seperate Quebec. 15) Instead of Quebec demanding Independence, Alberta will take thier mouth and want Independence due to thier Conservative views. 16) USA planned to declare war on Canada but the Commonwealth freaked them out so they backed off. 17) Canada will be one of the few countries still producing oil. 18) Majority of the population of New Brunswick will become French. 19) Manitoba has a 25% french population. 20) Other parts of West Canada and Ontario, French is becoming a minority Language (3% and Ontario 8%). 21) Quebec and New Brunswick demand their own seperate nation called East Canada. 22) Parts of Greenland now belong to Canada. 23) Toronto has 11 million people, Vancouver has 4 million people, Montreal has 3.5 million people, Calgary has 2.7 million people, Edmonton has 2.2 million people, Ottawa has 1.6 million people,Winnipeg has 1.55 million people , Hamilton has 1.4 million people, London has 1.2 million people, Quebec city has 1.18 million population Halifax has 1 million people. 24) More Islands will be discovered on the coast of BC. 25) Province/Territory Populations:. . 1) Ontario: 22 million. 2) BC: 12 million. 3) Quebec: 8 million. 3) Alberta: 6 million. 4) Some US States: 5 million. 5) Halifax: 4 million. 6) Saskatchewan: 1.9 million. 7) Newfoundland and Labrador: 483,000.
