untilThe AINvision Song Contest is an annual competition held among many of the active member countries of the Alliance of Independent Nations. Each member country submits a song to be performed on live television and radio and then casts votes for the other countries' songs to determine the most popular song in the competition. The contest has been broadcast every year since the union's formation and is one of the longest-running events in the union. It is also the most popular non-sporting event in the alliance. The AINVision Song Contest 2021 (Baliscano: 2021 Festival de la Canto de Ainvisió) will be the eighteenth semi-annual AINVision Song Contest. It is scheduled to take place in Sofia, Balisca, following the country's victory at the 2020 contest in Palma de Mallorca, Arriola, with the song "Gioventù bruciata" performed by Alessandro Mahmoud -

Welcome to Richmond, population 240,000. It is the fourth-largest city of my fictional country, Jarraban (a member of the Alliance of Independent Nations), and also the biggest inland city. The capital of Diamantina province, it was the centre of the country's gold rush during the mid 19th century and boasts many historic buildings. This, along with the large number of wineries and tourist attractions nearby, give the city a unique charm. More snippets of Jarraban can be found on its wiki page here and throughout the AIN's forums. Been a while since I've done any extensive city-building, so might be a little rusty. Hope you enjoy anyway! City centre (aerial view) Close-up of the city centre, showing Pitt Street Mall Street scene Shores of Lake Lugawa, a large lake immediately north of the CBD Provincial Parliament House University of Diamantina campus buildings. In the bottom left is St. Mary’s Cathedral, the city’s largest church and one of the oldest buildings in Jarraban.

AOHI VILLAGE If clothes spoke _____ Far from the city down south, in the jungles you'll find Aohi village _____ Aohi is said to be the birthplace of the Okataian National dress, the Shinpo featuring the national colours, gold and blue, the dress also features red, the royal colour. Lynda our tourguide has agreed to pose wearing it _____ Aohi village has a rather discreet architecture on the contrary to it's textile heritage _____ Okataian textiles developed under the influence of fabrics from Southeast Asia, China and mainland Japan. The rich variety and technique of Okataian textiles are beyond compare, even surpassing those of Japan and Teiko _____ You can still make yourself a dress here, Aohi was the village where the Imperial family got their cloths for ceremonial dresses _____ Oka is blessed with a variety of subtropical plants that can be used to dye textiles. Turmeric produces yellow pigment, and Japanese bayberry results in brown. And several different kinds of plant pigments are mixed to achieve a wide color range _____ The vilage is an Okataian Heritage site, and is looking to apply to AINESCO _____ It is the epitome of dyed Okataian work, is identified by its beautiful array of radiant colors, including vermilion, purple, indigo, yellow and green. It was used for royal attire and also for clothes worn by court entertainers. It is an important craft representing the Okataian culture. The dress became this symbol especially after Japan annexed Oka in 1926 and banned it, the jungle revolts began against the japanese in 1936. Men and women armed with only a gun wearing these clothes with pride would start a jungle guerilla until the iberation of Oka in 1946..

A great track from a Korean insturmental artist _________________________ HAITO CITY The plight of gentrification _____ Ah, there you are, welcome to "More than Less" a small café in an abandonned animal slaughterhouse. The owners Miko and Kaiba were keen to keep the buildings identity alive and do a very partial renovation _____ Haito is nothing special, it doesn't have a skyline a part from a few towers, most buildings are old and have only been partially renovated _____ But it is somewhat of an unlikely attraction for instagramers, tourists and bloggers alike _____ Many artisans, independant artists or small thrift stores populate the district _____ Far away from the glass towers of the center, Haito might be one the best places to go to feel an unspoken side of Oka's history? _____ But by looking at the people who live here, it seems Haito is prone to a phenomenon we call gentrification _____ The Main avenue is changing _____ Inside the buildings, new workspaces are being designed, "coworking", startups, hubs etc.. all that's associated to gentrification _____ Take this building, the Saiza building became a "working hub" but kept it's old identity by keeping the signs _____ But for how long ? The Haito Peninsula project is now open, and is proof international investments are interested in this part of the city.. I loved walking around in Haito, it's fresh and alternative, but the world catches up on these oasis', such is the truth of the asian capitalist city, where the place you grew up will not exist anymore soon.

Well, it's certainly been a while since I've posted here, why not spice things up again? Much has changed since the last time I posted, I have completely moved over to Cities Skylines and remade all my previous cities in cities skylines using the original SC4 maps. Anywhoo, no more chatter, let's get to the pics! Outside Blois Stadium, the main stadium for Blois' bid for the Alliance's Summer Games, showing the flags of New Duveland's provinces and territories in alphabetical order starting (left to right) with the national flag, the territory of Avaiki, Laperouse, New Caledonia, New Herault, New Munster, New Ulster, the New Duveland Capital Territory, Norfolk, Tasman, and finally, the national flag of New Duveland once more. Apartment living in Blois is becoming incredibly more popular, as it offers a luxurious lifestyle close to the heart of the city, while maintaining peace and quiet. Even though Blois is home to just under 400,000 people, the city's metropolitan train network is one of the most efficient in the country. Here we see commuters at Pontlevoy Station heading towards downtown during the morning rush. Another view of Blois Stadium, showing the lush sub-tropical vegetation that is featured in every park around the city. With a seat from here, you would get an impressive view of the city skyline! The city from above, laid out on a warped grid system, driving through Blois can be a breeze. Wide tree-lined boulevards offer an efficient way to get through town, or you could take the Devereaux Freeway, which travels along the edge of the city. The city skyline from Île de Waipapa (Waipapa Island), one of the most popular getaway spots for exclusive holidays, and is also home to a large collection of early French colonial housing, as well as several large open-air events. It's just a shot ferry ride from the heart of the city. Nothing says national or provincial pride like having your flag everywhere! Just in case you forgot that you were in New Hérault, New Duveland.

The capital is San Foca. Federal Republic of Siculia joined the Alliance of Independent Nations on 10 December 2015. Here's the official position of Siculia. Here are the 10 federal States (and its smaller islands) that make up the Federal Republic of Siculia A State that has a mix of the wet tropical and Mediterranean climate, I mean a State that sees little winter. The official language and Italian and English. But now we go into specifics:. How will this City Journal? The financial district of San Foca It will be a city journal where I show you the various cities and natural landscapes of Siculia How will it be structured?

Welcome, welcome! The Atlantic Federation, officially the Union of the Veratlantean States is and has been a member of the Alliance of Independent Nations for almost 5 years now. It is a Union of 7 Republics over the 'subcontinental' Veratlantic Archipelago, in the Atlantic Ocean. There are a lot of complicated details about how exactly it works. I'll leave those to tell you on the go... But you can always check the infoboxes to the sides! How it started, and why now? Since I discovered Simtropolis and the community, I have been devoted to creating my own country for the world to see. I mustered up all ideas and decided to start a big what-if-land in the middle of the Atlantic. But it needed to make sense in the world, I didn't want it to be alone. I thought it was a good idea to join a CJ Union, the AIN. Early May 2010 and I got my Junior Membership and an avalanche of ideas for my Atlantic nation. In these 5 years, I learned from some of the finest CJers and decided to continuously improve my CJ, in all aspects I could. Now the result of all these years is the Union of Veratlantean States, a fancy name for the "Atlantic Federation v6.0", which btw has been my sole endeavor during all these years. No other CJ's, no side projects. What style will this be? The AF is very diverse. It is made of 7 Republics with very singular histories. After all, I think its the diversity of it that made me stick with it. There's Dutch, Americanized, French, British, Latin-Iberian-Mediterranean architecture, along with some communist blocks in the previously red republic of New Oren. There is a touch of Hong-Kong and Tokyo in some of its east coast largest metropolises, since they tend to be very dense. Here's what I mean in this WIP image: Besides that, the AF has a beautiful geography, with extensive climatic variety. I will do my best to portray its beautiful beaches, mountains and countryside. La Nouvelle Aquitaine, is truly beautiful, IMO. Can't wait to drive you through it! Hint hint, they speak French there! Ah the South... The Portuguese/Spanish speaking, ever-summer south... We have Overseas Territories too, like the gelid Greenlandic island of Svärda! Where we maintain not-at-all suspicious activities... How will the Updates be like? Most of the updates will fall in one of the below: 1: The Discover kind of update These will be narrated updates, in which we'll travel the federation using its means of transportation and following the stories of a character or more. 2: The BBC VBN kind of update These updates will be documentary-like, narrated updates, covering the most various topics about the AF. 3: The WIP kind of update These will be Work-In-Progress updates and teasers mostly so I can ask for your help to keep improving the CJ and also try suggestions left in the comments, if there are any. 4: The TV/Media kind of update These will be brought mainly from the Alliance itself and will feature newspaper articles to tell what's happening in the AF and its CJ neighborhood. Accidents, elections, music festivals, sports, international events, these fall here. 5: The Random Kind Whatever else comes to mind! How often? I will try to have them be regular, one a week, but certainly I will keep you informed about what's going on with it. I'm currently on a "gap semester" since my college schedule went out of sync as I will be moving across hemispheres this year. So basically it means lots of free time. Wiki Support Beware that I will do my best to provide extensive Wiki Support to the CJ, thanks to the AIN's amazing wiki engine. So every city, state, and region you visit and most things mentioned about the Federation will have its own Wiki article, to further enhance the depth of the CJ and explain details too lengthy to post here. It is currently being revised, so bear with me if you're interested in that. And finally... I will do my best to keep those of you joining me immersed, with fancy graphics, mood boosting music and attention to detail. Suggestions are most welcome, and I hope to learn a lot by exposing the AF to an even larger community. Welcome, to the Atlantic Federation! Thanks for viewing! and if you're coming with, See you soon!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dCkWDcrq7s Port of Mayumba Tour Hello, hello, Welcome to Nyanga! I hope you enjoy your stay here and make sure to visit all the wonderful sites to experience what Nyanga has to offer! Today we will be looking at the old port of Mayumba. At this location the original European Settlers came and met with the tribesmen of Nyanga, and so began the arduous journey which makes what Mayumba is today. The port is a thriving hub of markets, industry and crime, so lock the car doors and put up the windows... Fruit and vegetables are being unloaded and sorted, to be ready for shipping, some of it ends up on the street markets or in local shops. Trucks also stop here for rest stops or a tire change. Some factories are located here as well, such as D'acton's chemical production facility (the factory lot in the centre) and Patriot Protective's workshop (on the left). Some of buildings here have been around since colonial times, where sugar was processed from the plantations. There are also some warehouse depots throughout the port, where storage facilities and smaller factories are located One of the busiest freight terminals is the bulk freight dock, everything from food, to chemicals and clothes is shipped out from here. The boats though are small and mostly head north to neighbouring Gabon, some go to Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Equatorial Guinea. Here are the grain processing docks. Wheat, maize and hops and brought here by truck for processing and then shipped all over the world. These mills are owned and operated by the government, but have been infamously known for the poor conditions and terrible quality housing provided for the workers. The coal docks take up the majority of large shipping traffic in Mayumba. They also take up the most space in the port, by having a massive coal storage yard. In some effort to provide housing for the workers employed at the port the government built council houses and flats. Sadly they were poorly constructed and not properly mainitained, today they are riddled with crime and are in very bad need of re-development, but many workers have no other choice and have to live here to keep their families alive. Our last visit for the day is to one of the many very busy street markets at the Portside Townships. These usually occur all through the week and many stalls and shops continue selling right through the night. You can get everything you could ever think of at these markets, much of the stuff like food and some clothes are not terribly bad quality, but stay away from any electronics or branded clothing, these are almost always fakes and a waste of money! You also have to watch you pockets, pick pocketing is a frequent occurance in any city around here. We're back at the hotel, I hope you enjoyed your day out! Thanks guys for the comments on my last post! They are much appreciated!!

Welcome to Tasbury, population 3,649,987 is the largest city in New Duveland. it is also the largest city and capital of New Munster Province and is arguably the economic, cultural and historic centre of the country. The city began as a penal settlement of the British but soon begin to thrive as an economic point, due to increasing immigration after gold was discovered in the surrounding areas, leading the a rich mix of cultural heritage today, with strong European and Asian settlements in the city, most notable China Town in the CBD. It's location also gives it a unique style, being on the entrance to the New Munster Sea, the largest brackish water in the Southern Hemisphere with cities such as Albury, Parahaka, Port Laoise, Tralee and Kinsale all relying on the small opening for shipping. That's just some history of the city, now for the images! The city is constantly changing, with new skyscrapers popping up all over the CBD and in key activity centres. The current tallest, Royal Tower stands 300m tall, overlooking Central Park and the crystal waters below. The Tasbury Opera House is the most famous landmark of the city, millions of tourists visit the site each year. Well into the night the city is still very much alive, offices still lit up as people work well into the night and residents and tourists getting ready for the night. I hope you've enjoyed Tasbury! Next up, the southern city of Leinster, capital of New Ulster Province. Bonus night view of New Duveland! See if you can match the cities from my wiki! http://aoin.eu/wiki/index.php?title=List_of_Cities_in_New_Duveland_by_Population

As I was too busy studying to release this update on the weekend, I can now seeing as I have had most of today and tomorrow off! Enjoy! (warning, pictures are from pre-updated city, maxis buildings will most likely show) [start/cj] We arrived in Avno, it was such a calming city, small but full of life. As much as I can understand, the city was once the site of a large port, the largest before Crestview's, although now it has transformed into a vibrant city centre. The docks were turned into extensive parks, stretching right across the coastline. This may be one of the only cities in the whole of Mirani without a CBD beachfront? Nevertheless, my friends and I wondered through the waterfront, visiting shops and cafes across the road, and setting down for a short brunch. We continued to walk the waterfront for an hour, reaching the town hall, which was separated into 3 different buildings, above ground at least. Now, we had to check into our hotel, we caught one of the cities bright green taxis and headed back to the centre of town, driving past the cities' suburbs which made me think of suburban Melbourne minus a few tropical roofs here and there otherwise the architecture were quite similar! We got to out hotel, unpacked what we needed and collapsed onto our beds, each having it's own carefully placed chocolate for us to enjoy. We were to stay the night and then head to the next city, Kingstown. BONUS REGION SHOT! Around Crestview's CBD and the inner city Parliament house is by the 2nd Marina heading north, with a quite large park. I still need to update the other parts of the city that haven't been updated yet, as you can see the style of hosing varies greatly in between the newer/updated tiles with the older versions, hopefully will update those parts soon!
