[size=18]History[/size]

[/b]

Lanaya has not a very big story because it is only 300 years since the island was discovered by a dutch explorer named John Van Blakeway, who worked for Holland in 1710. Holland has used the island as a place to transfer cargo between the mainland and New Amsterdam (New York City actual location). Lanaya has developed gradually and until 1734, when they began to exploit the land, making agriculture and livestock in the valleys, and especially wood for shipbuilding. This brought a great wave of European immigration, but primarily of African slaves. Life goes on, the colony prospered, Holland is worried and shrugged taxes dramatically in the middle of 18th century. France bought Lanaya from Holland but, the gap between the rich merchants and French governors and the Lanayan people had become too large and that led to the creation of several anti-slavery for independence rallies. In 1834, the War of Independence broke out between France and Lanaya after filing the declaration of independence by Philippe Solando, who was the general of the independence side army, to the French governor. It was the February 17th. At the beginning of the war, France was winning. But the revolutionaries resisted as best they could until the summer when almost all hope of victory was destroyed. Stroke of luck for Lanaya, Great Britain, sworn enemy of France, joins the side of independence movement, providing the victory to Lanaya. Why Britain helped Lanaya? Simply to have a revenge for the assistance provided by France to the Americans during the American War of Independence. It was time to choose the type of government and the Parliamentary Constitutional Republic was a unanimous choice.
After independence, an economic crisis ravaging the country for two years, but the economy stabilized and experienced a great boom during the industrial revolution. The country has not participated in WW1, but cons, it participated in the second. Since 1945, nationalism has a strong presence in the country after the loss of several soldiers and international involvement in politic and ecologic in the world and on its own territory affected Lanaya positively. Today, the official language is French, not dutch? Yup, because much of those Lanayan were talking alot of languages, making this island well known for traductors. Perhaps, the French get invold alot because it was the World must used language for commerce in the 19th.

hey blakeway,

I followed this bid on simpsorts but I quit my involvement in simsports a few months back for personal reasons so I neglected to post but seeing as you are here now I have no qualms about commenting on your work.

Your city it self is rather well done, I like the downtown area's, they are some of the better in this round of bidding. Where I feel your bid fell short over all was the fact that all the stadiums are in that large area.

Taking a look at the real life bid of Rio2012 we see that the stadiums are spread out into many parts of the city, in Beijing this was true as-well. This is a mistake I made when building my Delkon Forrest bid back in 2008 (not sure of the date it was like the 8 or 9th games if you wish to check the archives) If you plan to bid, again which I encourage you to do look to spread the wealth a bit, and add more of a park flare around your main stadiums with more paths and tree's and things like that working with your main stadiums and then spread the other stadiums around the city into more realistic locations.

Personally I'd also add some more high rise buildings around the simlympic park but that's personal preference alone.

As for your airport, I like it, frankly it is far more realistic than Peter's and I was disappointed in him for giving such a great bid, but spending no time on a decent airport. Just for some minor details, look to add curved exits to your runway's instead of the strieght ones and a little less parking, you have far more parking than would be required for an airport that size.

1 last nit-picky thing in your disney world get rid of the olympic building in the spot above that little lake, especially if you plan to use that building style for the stadiums, it just seems out of place.

Over all a good job and I look forward to seeing more of this country and region.

Thanks, I know the quitting, it was kinda controversial with some members.      

Your city it self is rather well done, I like the downtown area's, they are some of the better in this round of bidding.

Thanks! lol

Where I feel your bid fell short over all was the fact that all the stadiums are in that large area.

Having all those venues close to each other wasn't that good... But it was a simlympic park...   Perhaps, I planned very differently my new bid Well it is for Winter after all lol. Hope you'll like it.

As for your airport, I like it, frankly it is far more realistic than Peter's and I was disappointed in him for giving such a great bid, but spending no time on a decent airport. Just for some minor details, look to add curved exits to your runway's instead of the strieght ones and a little less parking, you have far more parking than would be required for an airport that size.

I totally agree. My new airports are better since I use taxiways. When I did the airport, I was lazy about the taxiways cuz I tough it'll have take me so much time... On my new bid, you'll see my military air base so you'll have a good airport (I hope).

1 last nit-picky thing in your disney world get rid of the olympic building in the spot above that little lake, especially if you plan to use that building style for the stadiums, it just seems out of place.

Yeah, that's  cuz I was supposed to change it. Actually I knew it was going to have critics about it.

Over all a good job and I look forward to seeing more of this country and region.
