Peter007 - Thanks! And I have got no idea, seems this needs to be fixed...must of been a mistake. ()what()

Today we take a trip to the city of Punta Del Mar, a highly Hispanic influenced city, which is very close to the national borders of Llithustania and Spain. This great city is heavily developed, but mostly covered in low dense zones.

Here's Part 1

Today's update: North Coastal States' Unmentioned remote towns, towns like Seauxla, located in the Seauxla Highlands which is a particularly mountainious region in Llithustania's north-west regions.

A beautiful paradox, where people are remotely isolated, and where things can get rough, yet everyone finds there way of surviving in a town in the outcasts of the shadows of the high hills...

Velektkommen tien Seauxla Vulaj, en de Seauxla Astevalaand!

Just an idea. The plaza in the last picture is a bit empty. A good idea is to add some smaller plazas, like the Maxis plazas. Flowers, paths, trees, anything that can fill up the plaza. Just an idea of course ;D

Yep, a wind storm. There's no F5 Tornadoes or Life-threatening forces. It's just a strong gust of wind blowing through the states, causing some havoc but no death. A few light winds whirl around, but it won't lift you 400 feet into the air . It's just another plain old boring day that rains hard and you stare out the window, hoping it'll end soon.... But it won't for another 34 hours :P


Vakorkjs City is under a blanket of grey clouds which are reeking some, not a lot, of havoc, on the West Coast of the nation. The rain hits hard and the owner's of boats are bracing themselves, as are homeowners.

The rain lasts the entire day, non-stop...then something interesting happens...

A small, light tornado, which is more like some lightly whirling winds, which started moving some boats, interrupted drivers, caused some crashes, knocked down power-lines and disrupted power in some buildings which it crossed. In the end, no harm was done, except for a few broken windows around the city, some knocked down power-lines and trees and nothing more than scrapes on some boats which reside on the Canal. It was more a spectacle for the residents to marvel at :P.

Thanks for viewing!

Antipolo & Apollo:
Here we are, yet another update but its the first time we actually venture to the state of Mevrco Razz Here we are at a reservation park where a beautiful river and hotel lay smothered on the grassy terrain.

Not so far away is the town of Apollo, but this rest stop is a bit down South of the actual Apollo township. Its so popular that it never runs out of customers and tourists. Unfortunately though, parking ain't on the list of perfections in Llithustania, so feel free to park anywhere! :P

Tip to all of you: When you do decide to come here to a remote area of Mevrco, make sure your car hasn't got any issues and fill your gas tank cause there is no gas stations for miles anywhere...Or you'll end up being stuck on the highway at 7 in the morning. :P (+ You don't get much coverage here :P )

Thanks so much for viewing!

Welcome to the City of Vakorkjs City in the state of Crovakia, Vakorkjs is the nation's the 4th largest city, located in the 2nd largest state. We're here today for the final torch relay building up to New Chandler. It is a very short distance to run, but it's a beautiful trip and will be of an entertaining route. With thousands piling into see, no matter where, people have come to see Llithustania's finest foot racer running the final torch relay before New Chandler.

The Vakorkjian leg begins in the city's most iconic canal zone, the beautiful Nordicad Lento Gardens Canal. He begins to run here in the less focused part of the city.

The cleared road for the runner continues to lead on pacing his way around downtown Vakorkjs, he begins to turn onto Midway Boulevard, entering into a portion of the city financial district.

An outbreak of a horrible disease reeks havoc in a Eastern Europe and crosses to infect the rest of the world. It arrives in Llithustania when French refugees cross the border illegally and infect those they encounter. It escalates and those who fall victim to the disease die then are resurrected as Zombies (The Walking Dead series). As seen, the only survivor is on the horse, riding around Maine, with zombies chasing him down. Currently on an old Checkpoint. Possibly a new CJ. What happens next?

Hi Republic ,  :)

I've been attracted there by the originality and high quality of the pictures you're always presenting to the competition . Very creative mind , to say the least , and amazing skill ! I'm generally not a big fan of photoshoping ( mostly for weather effects ) but the apocalyptic scene is something indeed !  ::)

And that last Deaupax's mosaic , where all BATs and flora details looks like transcended by the contrast you've added , is particularly well done , beautiful and inspiring .

It's that time of year again...

And often, when your in the southern regions of Llithustania,
You don't find as many Christmas lights as you do in the North.
But as well as that, you'll always find people singing carols, walking from
apartment to apartment and holding city festivals.

It's a bit quiet here in Vit
ória (A city situated in the South Crovak state or what is also
the West Iberian Border, a city and a significant amount of land which has been in dispute
as to which state owns the land and the major city of over 1.4 million people.)
with
few people on the streets. But since this isn't downtown, its something to expect when everybody
does their last minute gift-shopping far off near the more commercially dominant body
of the entire city.
