Minceland Minceland is a small nation on the tip of South America, Its Capital ( And only Real notable City ) is Barley ( see Previous Update ). Barley's Main features are the Statue of Free Trade ( Which looks uncannily like the statue of liberty ) , The Barley Radio Tower , Whose commanding views of the metropolis bring in thousands of tourists, and the Charles Barley Hotel Tower, Which at 336m is the tallest building in South America. Charles Barley Hotel The Hotel is in the center of the shot, It is viewed from above Minceland Palace, which was built in 1946 when Minceland Gained its independence. The Barley Radio Tower is visible in the far right, it is just 2m shorter than the Hotel. The Arcology To fill the thousands of new jobs being created in barley, a new source of workers has been needed. The government has decided to build an Arcology, a massive self contained city within a giant building, the Minceland arcology is currently under construction and is scheduled to be finished by the year 2017. North Barley North Barley Was a Suburb/Small city to the North of Barley, separated by a band of parkland un-authorized for urban growth that limited the size of Barley proper. North Barley WAS a suburb... Greatly Shaken By a Massive but incredibly localized Earthquake that measured 9.2 on the Richter scale, one of the largest ever recorded, but not covered much due to its extreme localization and the fact that Minceland is almost totally ignored by the rest of the world( more on that in a later update ). North Barley Before the Dreaded Quake. NB's Famous Zheccher Bridge, totally destroyed in the Earth Quake The only photo managed to be taken in the quake, it was recovered from a digital camera in the wreckage, its owner never found, no-one knows who took this image Surprisingly, some buildings withstood the Earthquke, and 36 aftershocks ( or 38, depending on what sources you check, their aren't many survivors to tell. Tourism The old ports and industries from Barley's youth have since moved elsewhere, and in the 1930's its focus quickly changed to suits and blue collar workers, prompting an Explosion in building heights. The 1930's Explosion Tourism also became an economic focus, and an Expo center was built in the Eastern City in 1962 next to the water works, this center has often done large performances and sports events in the past, though recently it has run into disuse. ( Photo of it is at the title ) End of update for now, I Have Run out of Time, I will Edit some More stuff in Tomorrow. Minceland Exports Plastic from a Recycling Plant in Barley, It has no other major exports except from the odd freight truck, but as almost all the industry was in North Barley, this is almost gone, North Barley's Quake was 6 months ago on 4th of November 2012, But Much has Been Done to Rebuild it and Six Months has yielded a new small town New North Barley New North Barley was kick-started just 2 months after the old NB was completely destroyed by the 800 survivors ( Barley's Population previously was just over 3000. ) Quickly new people were buying homes in this town, once again a retreat from the bustling city. Most of the previous town had been destroyed and Barley had funded operations to dispose of the Rubble and Debris. NNB grew within 3 months to the large population of 3924 after just 4 months of constuction ( Mincish Builders are very quick, they even found time to build a grand city hall with a much needed department of education to boot ). This is still very small however compared with the 4 square kilometers of Barley's Metropolitan area's 146,648(December 2012 census) So Here are some pictures of New North Barley Thats all for now, And remember, Visit Beautiful Minceland
