Wassup all

I recently joined the SC4D community and I took a look around to get a little feel for the atmosphere. I really like what's going on here. There's people that provide excellent new content for all us to use and play with. I'm probably still playing this game because of things like the NAM, RHW, CAM etc. I know the research and the programming involved in that sorta thing, I am an upcoming engineer myself. I really appreciate what they are doing here.

I go to North Carolina State University; I just finished my first year and I have 3-4 more years until I get my major in Computer & Electrical Engineering. 

Why am I doing an MD? I want to meet new people and get connected with this community, so what better way than to do an MD here. This will be my first MD, hopefully not my last. I've looked at a couple of MDs here and hopefully I can use them as a guide to get mine going.

There will be three main parts of my MD. I'm going to attempt to focus on history, realism, and interactivity. I want to give my region some historic depth and dimension to it and it'll hopefully make this MD more pleasureable. Once my region is established and the history part of my MD fades away, it will become more interactive. So now I want to introduce the region I'm working with: Peroacia.


Here is the entire region of Peroacia

I've already started early development in the region.

NASCAR_Guy: Much appreciate the comment Nascar.



In 1558, King Menoza of the Jariah Empire sent a fleet of four ships to search for the treasure. It was only 3 years ago that a serf, who was only a couple of seconds from death whispered five words into the king's ear. "Novus universitas habitum topaz thesaurus". It was these words that saved Pero Adney from his death. After a brief meeting, King Menoza decided to spare Adney's life temporarily if and only if he went on a successful search for the topaz treasure. King Menoza drafted Adney into the navy and immediately promoted him to Admiral.

Quickly, Admiral Adney prepared and trained a crew. In the course of two years, Adney fell in love with Acia Caprina. She was the fifth in line for the throne after King Menoza. Slowly, Pero Adney attempted to increase his influence in the Royal Court. In a matter of months, Pero Adney found himself in the elite aristocratic circle and made his residence in the Palace; Admiral Adney gained the favor of King Menoza. In the last days before the voyage, King Menoza ordered to set up a permanent post in the new world. With this, Adney became a litueanant govenor of the future new settlement.

On August 1558, the four ships: Joren, Sai, Nauti, and Metro Quietus embarked on a journey to seek the topaz treasure. Through harsh weather and life on the ocean, Admiral Adney made landfall on an island in November 1558. With 300 settlers, the first settlement, Adney, was founded on November 3, 1558.

Litueantant Govenor Adney quickly ordered the settlers to get timber to build a small settlement. Farming was very important to the success of Adney, but because it was November, the days were already short and the ocean wind brought a cold chill over the landscape. Adney sent back the four ships with a message for King Menoza. Adney needed food; it needed the food quickly. For now, a fishing dock was built so the people could harness the bounty of the sea.

Months passed and thoughts of mutiny and suicide clouded the people's judgement. The air of dissent and tension worried and stressed Lt. Govenor Adney and his wife Acia.

On a day of light snow, a young man convinced a number of people to kill Adney. A group of 35 people surrounded Adney's door blaspheming his name and announcing his death. Lt. Governor Adney gave in with no resistance. As Adney's neck lay on the chop block, Acia turned away in fear and disgust. Luckily, she noticed the ships just over the horizon and frantically signaled the people. Thoughts of murder quickly cleared the minds of the people as they celebrated the first shipment of food and supplies. Mr. Adney silently thanked King Menoza and his quick reply to his request. Food had put down the Millbrook Rebellion.

Lt. Gov Adney met with the envoy from Jariah. Adney had three years before King Menoza required the first shipment of topaz. But King Menoza promised to send any resources that Adney needed for the next three years. Lt. Govenor Adney sent back the ships with an order of more food, people, and supplies. In Spring 1559, Adney began building the First Cathedral of Adney. The Cathedral faced the west as a symbol to ask God to watch over current and future expeditions further inland. Farming was set up and an irrigation system project was initated. Adney would make sure that the people would be prepared for the next winter.

After a strong foundation was established in the Adney settlement, Lt. Govenor Adney began an expedition toward the Topaz Mountain. In the fall of 1561 a new settlement, Topaz Town, was set up at the foot of the mountain. Thanks to several shipments and migrations from the mother empire, the initial 300 population boomed to about 1,000. Mines were established and regular shipments of stone, marble, and topaz were sent back to Jariah. Lt. Govenor Adney ordered city walls to be built to protect Jariah's investments.

The irrigation project and the First Cathedral of Adney were both completed in 1564. These buildings acted as a morale boost to the people. Lt. Govenor Adney was beginning to be revered as a king in this burgeoning colony. The first son of Adney, David, was born in 1564; there was great celebration. Later that year, Adney experienced the greatest harvest ever seen in its young history. These events further convinced that Pero Adney was a person ordained by God himself to be a king.

A lighthouse was also built as a beacon for incoming and outcoming ships. Naval traffic expnonetially increased. There was at least three ships incoming every couple of months. Several people came to the new world trying to find wealth or satisfy an adventure thrill. By the end of the 1570s, Adney and Topaz Town were self-sustaining settlements.

Pero Adney, king of the new Adnese Empire (not known by King Menoza), fell ill in 1587. David (23) and his little brother Ivan (19) were shocked at the sudden turn of his illness. During his last days, King Adney appointed his wife as the replacement and new monarch of the Adnese Empire and David the position of regent. He did not think David was ready to lead the infant empire. Jealous and filled with rage, on the night of March 17, 1588, David assassinated his mother Acia. David assumed the throne five days later with the death of King Adney. Ivan became suspicious of recent actions and went to the church clergy to tell of this harrowing event. The church and some of the population began to dissent the sudden death of Pero and Acia Adney. Under increasing pressure, David and his supporters attempted to kill Ivan and the dissenters. Luckily, Ivan and some of his followers escaped north. Ivan sent a letter to King Menoza II (who became king in 1585) annoucing his support to the Jariah Empire and his brother's proclamation of the independent Adnese Empire.

King David Adney II began to train his first militias. But, in a couple months, King Menoza II sent a fleet of Frigates and troops to the new settlement of Advin. Ivan and Jariah declared war on Adney and the First Adney War begun in 1589.

Several soldiers reached the shores of the new world in October 1589. As Ivan prepped the attack, a big storm came and sunk nearly all of Jariah's ships.

Ivan used the remaining ships and launched a surprise night attack in January 1590. But thanks to the vigilant Adnese militia, the attack failed. In the spring, David used his small navy to set up a blockade of the Advin settlement. With barely any resources left, an angry Ivan met with King David Adney II and discussed terms for his surrender in 1591. David gained full control over the Adney Strait and limited Ivan's settlement to  his island.

But, Ivan sent an envoy to another empire he knew back in the old world: the Mizo Empire. Ivan's goal was to attract the King to begin colonizing this new region and eventually ally with him to destroy the Adnese Empire. He promised the king new treasure and resources, and a chance of trade and global domination. He warned that there could be potentail enemies and to send a militia to protect his empire's overseas intersts. His idea worked. In the coming years, the young astute general, Arturo Gavino, would establish the first Mizo colony in 1592.

Here is the region so far (Adney 1594)

Hello my friend
Beautiful map région
Continue the bigining look interesting  :thumbsup:

Gavino the Imperialist was revered and respected as the most skilled general of his time. Born in the Mizo Empire in 1572, Arturo Gavino was very interested in strategy and military tactics. His father enrolled him in the Ayes Academy, the most prestigious military academy in the empire. During one of his tests, he outsmarted the senior general and defeated him in a mock battle at the age of 12. He joined the military the next year and quickly promoted through the ranks. During the Mizo-Lei War (1586-1590), he and his batallion increased the size of the Mizo Empire by 30%. At the end of the war, Mizo emerged as a regional superpower.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg236.imageshack.us%2Fimg236%2F8103%2F160editum3.jpg&hash=77cf40faf12d8021f7b1a74b67af0b4484f905b1)

In 1591, an envoy from one of Jariah's colonies was accepted. Interested in expanding Mizo's influence and power, the king once again summoned Arturo Gavino and ordered him to take a fleet of ships and settlers to the new world to establish a colony. The first Mizo settlement was established in 1592.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg75.imageshack.us%2Fimg75%2F7193%2F17ek6.jpg&hash=b69413d267f34573fbe233d783cd843f3fb951c9)

Gavino quickly set up a settlement and sent out some scouts to scan the area. Gavino decreed that all men join the military to ensure protection of Mizo's interests. Using the river as a guide, Gavino and the scouts met the Visig natives. Gavino personally befriended the natives. Gavino invited the Visig leader, Chief Susiga, to his settlement and attempted to explain to him why they came. Eventually, Chief Susiga shared the tribe's secrets with Arturo Gavino. Gavino even allied with the Visigs to take out rival tribes.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg236.imageshack.us%2Fimg236%2F5852%2F170tz6.jpg&hash=d469ea47db0cf99004f289d1241ce3214bac2154)

When the opportunity came up, Arturo attacked and ransacked Visig homelands. In only a matter of days, Gavino defeated and enslaved Visig in 1595. The settlement quickly grew in size between 1600 and 1603 thanks to agricultural secrets learned by the Visig natives. In 1611, King David Adney II met with Arturo the Imperialist for the first time. A peace treaty was signed, but both leaders knew that this peace would be short lived.

None...


Gavino sent a letter to the king of the current situation. He needed resources and people to expand and protect Mizo's interests. A naval fort was built to protect from a possible Adnese naval attack or blockade. Thanks to the extra resources and the assimilation of the Visig Natives, Arturo quickly gained control of more land and established two more settlements. He had constant scouts and sentry units patrolling the borders. He continued to map out the west.

To gain dominance of the seas, Arturo also began to build a navy in 1614. Thanks to Ivan Adney, Arturo was able to get a map of Adney's settlements. The meetings between him and King Adney II became more sparce and with each meeting, King Adney II seemed to be colder and colder toward him. It was now time to prepare the attack.

Arturo had three parts to his future military campaign. First he was going to send a naval blockade of the Mizo Strait to prevent trade between the Adnese capital and their outpust: Jariah.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg394.imageshack.us%2Fimg394%2F7749%2Farturoscampaign1my5.jpg&hash=bc626b58e9b4965a1dfaa1d34be1caee30207deb)

The second part of the attack was to transport batallions to the southern part of the island and set up a temporary outpust.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg520.imageshack.us%2Fimg520%2F8602%2Farturoscampaign2lx5.jpg&hash=c4db7ce099ee7f0261fbdd5f6ccb2091e7a53f08)

The third part of the attack was to lead the attack on Jariah and soon after that order the attack on Topaz to gain the valuable mines. Gavino the Imperialist was again ready to fight and expand the mighty Mizo Empire. He declared war on the Adnese Empire in 1621.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg394.imageshack.us%2Fimg394%2F6688%2Farturoscampaign3lp5.jpg&hash=513e2180cefc291cbadfeaae21ce41df55b16a77)

The Arturo Navy quickly set sail to attack the Adnese capital, but the navy was in for a surprise. The Adnese Navy was already in formation and blockaded their own port. During this long four hour battle, cannon fire dominated the Adney Strait for four hours. Though cunning, the Adnese Navy narrowly pulled out a victory when the Arturo Navy began to retreat with their remaining navy. On this day, Adney lost 7 ships while Arturo lost 23 ships.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg71.imageshack.us%2Fimg71%2F2025%2F19pq2.jpg&hash=c3739c7fc8f6fdf834d35367f294f9b971b78832)

A couple days later, Arturo went out with a small naval formation to the southern isle of the Adnese Empire. Shockingly, there were several land batallions waiting for this attack. The navy engaged in battle with the batallions and they attempted to  unload their units. Arturo made an impulsive decision and also sent 2 ships full of troops to the east coast of the island. Arturo was successful, but his southern attack was stalled and rebuffed.

After Arturo returned to Gavino, he and some batallions went on the attack toward Jariah City, but a long and protracted battle would ensue (started April 1622). Both sides proceeded with tenacity because of the thick brush and trees that lay between the opposing militias. To make things worse, both sides would suffer from an overactive rainy season.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg242.imageshack.us%2Fimg242%2F4874%2F191fg8.jpg&hash=34e95fa1b22e1b95dec251bccaa48e30b4c128fe)

In February 1623, Arturo ordered the attack on Topaz Town, but when the militia got there were no people; there was nobody there. The acting commander sent an envoy back to Arturo, but he was ambushed by the Adnese military. As he died he noticed a large navy moving west. Gavino and Mizo's interests was in trouble. By surprise, the Adnese navy attacked Arturo's main town. Luckily, the heavily fortified naval fortress slowed the advancing Adnese Navy.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg71.imageshack.us%2Fimg71%2F7605%2F110yq6.jpg&hash=259fbc075d6d5a365c6721a5e5c631a6415485ae)

Arturo the Imperialist ran back to rebuff the attack, but he died while traveling back. When crossing a clearing in the forest, three bullets went through his head, chest, and his horse. Luckily, the naval attack was rebuffed. Mizo's colonies were on the verge of losing their only connection to the sea. Internal pressure also threatened stability. Since Arturo's position can only be appointed by the king overseas, a new emergency council was created. They quickly sent the grave news back to the king.

Meanwhile, King David Adney II died on April 1623 from a coup attempt from his younger brother Ivan. Distracted by the war with Arturo, Ivan carried out a stealth campaign to assassinate his older brother. With most of Adney's military and navy gone, Ivan and his supporters ransacked the cathedral where Ivan stabbed King David Adney II.  As David Adney breathed his last breaths, Ivan said these words to him. "Brother, you have divided this family many years ago and I never have forgiven you for that. How could you be so heartless toward your family. I just pray you survive God's judgment."

Ivan Adney brokered peace between the warring empires on June 1623. The church proclaimed Ivan the new king of the Adnese Empire, but Ivan declined. He could not sit on the tarnished throne of the corrupt Adnese Empire. Instead, he put his brother's son Belmont on the throne. Ivan died of natural causes on January 1626.

Growth and prosperity continued to be a part of the new world.

Here is the region in 1624.

Hello my friend,
This is beautiful update here continu

Simpson: Thanks for the comment and encouragement.  ;D I will continue with this!

Schulmanator: I really appreciate it! And welcome to the Peroacia Region.  :thumbsup:


Since the end of the Mizo-Adnae War, the new world colonies have met success and growth. Several new settlements have sprouted over the new region. In 1688, the three empires of Mizo, Adnae, and Advin met together to name the region. Because it was the 100 year anniversary of Pero Adney's death, the region was officially named Peroacia in his and his wife's honor. It was Pero and Acia Adney that brought people to this new region; this name was the fitting choice.

The Gavino palace was built as a memorial to the great Arturo Gavino in 1679. Eventually, this building became the residence for the governor of the future Arturo Republic.

Many minerals and metals were discovered in Mount Topaz and the Visig Mountain Range. With that and the discovery of coal, a Revolution swept Peroacia in the 1750s. Raw materials were being processed into goods. This created jobs for the burgeoning population and people from the old world began coming to Peroacia in droves. Naval trade boomed as the Adnese Empire and the Mizo Colonies exported processed goods and precious metals while importing raw goods from the old world countries.

This invention would catapult the Industrial Revolution and help create ironclads and usher in the Railroad Age. John Micheals helped develop more accurate and stronger muskets and rifles in 1782.

This enabled quick expansion of the Adnese Empire and the Arturo Republic and a quicker submission of the natives they would meet. Finally, the concept of rail was created by Larry Gabriele in 1819.The Peroacia Powers began to invest heavily into railroads. By the 1850s, the rail extended well inland into the west.


Arturo Engineers did have a couple of obstacles to overcome when constructing the railroad. In 1828, the first rail bridge in Peroacia was constructed over the Luciano River. But, at one point of the project Arturo Engineers had to re-route the bridge construction.

The first tunnel was constructed by Adnese Engineers outside Belmont on the edge of Mount Topaz in 1833. This was in reply of the Luciano Bridge built five years before. Both the Adnese Empire and the Mizo Colonies flexed their economic muscle to outwit each other.

I have a surprise for all of you. In the first post, I said that as the history winds down to a close, I want this MD to become interactive so we all can have fun. Well, I have completed the guide for the 'Interactive MD Game'. I have uploaded a .doc file for all of you. If you do not support that file extension, I will try to upload a .pdf or something.

The very progressive leader, Rufino Tullio, of the Mizo Colonies began to spread the idea of independence. He spent his term meeting the masses and  explaining that the Republic was much stronger than their mother empire. He made his claim that the old world empires sent their raw goods here to be processed; he decreed that this was the age of the new world, that the collapse and ruin of the Mizo, Jariah, and old empires was upon them. His provocative comments fueled Arturo (and eventually Advin) nationalism  and its masses. In 1860, Rufino Tullio invited the Mizo Emperor for negotiations. The young 13 year old, King Travino, agreed to all of Tullio's requests and only asked for Arturo's friendship and peace amongst the nations. In March 4, 1861, Rufino Tullio became the first official president for life of the Arturo Republic. This was quickly followed by the independence of Advin in 1864.

Rufino Tullio wanted to prove to the whole world that the Arturo Republic was the cultural, economic, and military capital of the world. He initiated sweeping reforms. He established an education and health system. He and and his followers of the Executive Court forced the children to attend the schools.

He revolutionized city planning by passing several requirements regarding road, rail, and plumbing layout. Roads were paved using an asphalt mix, underground plumbing  replaced ditches, and the port went under massive reconstruction.

I'm glad you like the rules so far.  :thumbsup:


By 1910 urbanization was in full effect in the Triple Powers (Peroacia) Region. The modern "downtown" concept was beginning to get a foothold in city planning.

Farm and agricultural communities began to spring up further inland while at the same time places like Jariah City, Arturo, Adney, and Advin became centralized urban areas.

In 1896, Arturo teamed up with the high governor of Jariah City to establish a Free Railway System that will be immune to tariffs and other trade barriers to provide crops and metals to the region. This was met by stark resistance from King Adney VI. The negotiations was killed, but Arturo still continued its progressive reforms.

In 1911, an unexpected visitor met with the Arturo president for life, Avisa Dino. It was an ambassador from the "National Government". The ambassador, Laney Ashcroft, established an embassy in Gavino.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg511.imageshack.us%2Fimg511%2F6853%2F162bf8.jpg&hash=2cdba7839499c511553d006d8c80caf771ea732a)

But, to President Dino, there seemed to be an air of secrecy with the "National Government". Laney Ashcroft did not reveal the location of their nation, or disclosed the name of their capital or of their head-of-state. Speaking to her advisers, it was unanimous that they would guard their interests and secure their borders. Avisa Dino did believe that they came from the west through either the northern or southern valleys. No road did not extend that far, because of the logistics of the rough terrain. It was at this moment that President Dino would focus on domestic affairs and not worry about the mysterious presence "National Government". However, she did inform King Adney VI and Premier Adams of Advin of the situation. The Triple Powers agreed to keep a vigilant watch to the west. Two more "National Government" embassies were set up in Adney and Advin in 1913 and 1916 respectively.

Very good update my friend  :thumbsup:

I just stumbled across this MD, but I have to say that it's looking pretty good. You've done a good job using the custom material and your infrastructure layout looks pretty good too. I would recommend that you try out a slope mod if you don't already have one installed. They're especially great for railroads (if not occasionally annoying, but realistic, to work with) as trains can have issues with severe slopes. You've done a good job too of developing the history of your region. It sounds like there will be some interesting developments in the coming updates. I'm curious to find out what all this game entails and I will read through the instructions you posted. Though it would be difficult to comment on all updates to this point, I did wan to note the 4th pic in your update on June 9th. That canal is really well done and the use of the heavy rail supports to create the bridge was really well done. I'll look forward to the coming updates and I'll be interested to see what all happens with this game.

Simpson: Thank you very much. :thumbsup:

threestooges: First, Welcome to the Peroacia Region! I really appreciate your comment very much.  ;D I do have a slope mod, but recently I finally organized my plugins folder and some things I have deleted, so I'll make sure I still have one installed. To tell you the truth, I thought the idea of a historical/interactive MD would not work, but it is doing pretty well. I hope that the Interactive part will work pretty well; i have a pretty good consistent audience that post here and so the work load to keep up with everyone's 'stats' won't be so bad at first, but I do want more people to stop by and interact. I hope I keep you interested in the updates to come.  ;D



In 1922, an explosion was heard from off the coast of Adney. It was a matter of days when Laney Ashcroft went to King Adney VI to explain what happened. Mr. Ashcroft explained that during a routine training exercise, a foreign ship was spotted off the coast of the Adnese Empire and they shot it down. Because of this event, the "National Government" Navy continued to patrol the Mizo and Adney Straits.

(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg168.imageshack.us%2Fimg168%2F6559%2F171nm6.jpg&hash=9c2d0130d72e6a705ec7c529e9e2c7ba535189f6)

Avisa Dino did not approve of the sudden intrusion of a foreign navy on her waters. She sent an ambassador to try to meet and figure out the location of the "National Government". Going west, the Arturo Ambassador eventually reached a border and it was protected by "National Government" troops.

They did not and would not allow any foreign subjects further west. In 1924, Avisa Dino secured the southern valley and enforced the Conscription Act. Once a male reached the age of 18, they had to register with the Arturo Guard and they were subject to a possible draft. Avisa Dino also approved the construction of a new Air Force and a more modernized navy. She also earmarked 46 million Simoleans for the construction of a military base and naval base.

President Dino also went to Premier Adams of Advin and King Adney VI of Adney to improve relations. She stressed the importance of unity and alliances and showed her concern of this "National Government". To prevent the "National Government" navy from patrolling much of the seas, a rail bridge project was initiated from Jariah City to Topaz Town over the Mizo Strait. It was finished in 1929.

The explosions became more frequent and Mr. Ashcroft visited the embassies more and more often explaining that the old world empires was threatening war with them. The Triple Powers attempted to contact the old world powers, but the "National Government" did not allow any passage of their navy for the sake of security. In 1931, war was declared between the "National Government" and the old world empires. Swiftly, "National Government" troops came to occupy the Arturo Republic, the Adnese Empire, and Advin. Mr. Ashcroft explained to the leaders that the old world empires declared war on them and that the "National Government" wanted to send a protectionary force to defend from a large attack. Slowly, the Triple Powers was dragged into war and sending troops to the old world starting in 1932.

The Great War quickly turned bloody and it was very hard for troops to gain a foothold on the old world landmass. For three years, the war was practically a draw. Avisa Diso, always a skeptic of the war, could not understand how so many occupation troops from the "National Government" still maintained a strong presence after years of intense fighting. To president Dino, it seemed that the Arturo Republic was instead under 'martial law' and not being protected from a possible attack. The "National Government" "protectionary" force stifled trade, checked all incoming and outgoing cargoes, and kept a constant watch on domestic activity. President Avisa Dino and her top advisers planned a campaign to oust the troops. She knew that they wouldn't go quietly and that she needed the assistance of her neighbors. Thanks to years of improving relations with her neighbors, the Triple Power Alliance was signed in 1934. Avisa Dino activated the draft secretly. Under very risky conditions, she went on a neutral merchant ship and met with the Mizo Emperor on neutral territory.

In intense negotiations, President Avisa Dino learned the truth. The old world powers were actually trying to warn the Triple Powers that the "National Government" was very aggressive in their foreign policy. All attempted outgoing envoys was sunk by the "National Government" navy. She learned that the leader of the "National Government", Destro, wanted to have a global empire. The Mizo Emperor also explained that Destro announced that the Peroacia region was under martial law and they forced the Triple Powers to fight the old powers. With this new information, she returned to the Peroacia Region, informed the other powers, and they all finalized the attack plans against the "National Government". In 1935, the Triple Powers declared war on the "National Government".

jjune4991: Yep yep. that is a great bridge.  :thumbsup: The real one will be shown soon, so don't worry. Yea, let's see how the "National Government" handles a two-front war.


Thanks to President Avisa Dino's leadership, the "National Government" quickly buckled under the pressure of two wars. The Adnese Navy defeated the foreign navy, the Arturo Guard repelled foreign troops and controlled Jariah City, and Advin kept the skies clear.  Essentially, the "National Government" was using the Triple Powers army to defeat the old powers. One by one, news of many provinces began to throw their support in the liberation cause and began to defect from "National Government" rule. Relations among Advin, the Adnese Empire, and the Arturo Republic greatly increased. Mr. Ashcroft came to President Avisa Dino to surrender. In September 13, 1936, Destro, King Adney VI, President Avisa Dino, and Premier Adams met to explain terms of peace. A simple peace treaty was written out and peace was officially declared two days later.

President Dino was not finished. She supported the idea of the Triple Powers combining to form a confederation that promoted free trade, and strengthened the alliance. In 1939, the Peroacia Confederation was created. The member nations retained most of their powers and sovereignty, but a head-of-state was elected for a life term to act as an ambassador and representative of Advin, the Adnese Empire, and the Arturo Republic. Avisa Dino was selected as first-term Chairwoman of the confederation. The Peroacia flag and national emblem was also created and Jariah City was declared the national capital of the Peroacia Confederation.

Thanks to the pioneer spirit of Pero Adney and his 300 settlers, the Peroacia Region would soon breed scientists, engineers, and people that would call this region home. I hope you have enjoyed the history of the Peroacia Region. I personally enjoyed writing this history and I appreciate all of your comments. This was longer than I first planned, but I guess that means I'm dedicated to this. Now we can begin "officially" developing this region and implementing the interactive game.

Well the war sounds like it finished up nicely. The life-term ambassador positions seem like an interesting way to maintain relations. I curious to know about the significance (symbolism and all) of the flag design, and I'll be waiting to see how development progresses.

well, it looks like history has turned for the better, and now we have this grand nation. but from my other comment, that pic of the bridge, where is it in real life?

threestooges: Very good comment and question.  ;D :thumbsup: At first, I didn't want to include that information, but here it is.  "$Deal"$

The Peroacia Flag contains three elements: the center logo, the light green, and the light blue.

The logo in the center of the flag represents the reason Peroacia was inhabited in the first place: Topaz. The topaz that was mined in Mount Topaz was a light blue type color shown below. The light green represents the plentiful land of the Peroacia Region, while the light blue represents the interesting water features in the region.

The national emblem has much deeper symbolism.

The clockwise circular design on the emblem is a reflection of time. This design is a tribute to Peroacia's rich and diverse history.

The flame image is very important. The three "curved" bases represents the three nations apart of the Peroacia Confederation: Advin, Adnae, and the Arturo Republic. The four flames represent the four things that "kindled" the cultural spirit and the economic development of the region.

I. The Founders - This flame is the tallest and ends in the center because it was Pero Adney and Arturo Gavino that helped establish the region.

II. Fortitude - It was the fortitude of the first settlers, scientists, and engineers that made realized the full potential of agriculture and helped bring in the Industrial Revolution to the region. Everyday, the people deal with obstacles and adversity and continue to overcome it. That helped spur spiritual and economic growth.

III. Progress - It was the innovative thinking and applying 'out-of-the-box' ideas that made Peroacia a region unique to the world. Peroacia was the birth of the Industrial Revolution, the railroad, and modern city planning.


IV. Synergy - This flame is the shortest because it represents the young Confederation. But its teamwork and synergy will sure enable the Peroacia Confederation new peace and strength for the years to come.

The three "curved" base and the four flames are connected because those four things that helped create Peroacia are going to be the same things that project Peroacia and its three member nations into a healthy future.

First, we are going to introduce Falcon and Gavino. Since there aren't any airports in Peroacia, the military will have to fly us into the town of Falcon. So, welcome to Falcon.

I will be showing you some jobs and some properties for sale. We would love to have new neighbors in the friendly town of Falcon. The population here is 6,439. We are also home to the Peroacia Power Grid and the Military Academy. We have a thriving farm community where about 20% produce of Peroacia comes from this area. I hope you choose to join us.

Welcome to Gavino!! I am proud to tell you that Gavino is a rich place of cultural history. Gavino is the home place of Arturo Gavino, Rufino Tullio, and our current Chairwoman Avisa Dino. There  is much construction and development going on here, so there are many open properties and job opportunities.

edit: whoops! i thought it said high school too! ok, the elementary school is fine!

@jjune4991: Yes, you have the G1 lot in Gavino, but remember you can only attend the education building whose radius covers your house. So far, there is only a elementary school and university that covers your house. The university is in Jariah City and the elementary school is shown in the picture. Choose wisely... :thumbsup:

I'm glad you're excited  &hlp &hlp

Welcome to the Vacheron Building. This is the place where all of the top executives and politicians make their home.
Government sometimes takes place here. One room in this building is as big as half a mansion!

This is the famous Diag. The initial planners of this city detested the monotonous grid style and decided to reveal their wild streak by incorporating Diag Street.

This is our first high-rise, Cola Headquarters. Not only delicious, refreshing Coke is sold here, executives have reserved the top floors to allow tourists to overlook the city. Of course, you have to pay a small fee. The traffic circle you see here is the only one in Jariah City and is quickly developing into an important hub in the commercial district.

This is a fluke by our construction workers. This mid-rise you see here was supposed to built at the corner, but the
residents chained themselves to the brick walk-up. After 9 days of protest, the construction workers shrugged them off and began building next to it.

If you have simoleans and lots of it, buy yourself a home at Genovela Place. Each mansion comes with three butlers, two maids, and your own guard llama. We are in the process of destroying, er, I mean phasing out the single homes.

Interesting updates and options. To start with, I think I will stake my claim for F6 (the farm) and choose to live on site. Organic crops seem to be big business these days, so I will take the opportunity to plant those, at least for this update. Also, as my first order of business being in town, I would like to file a request with the mayor's office to propose the construction of a health clinic (whose radius preferrably covers my property of course). Such a project would no doubt serve to increase resident satisfaction and promote development.

Jariah city is shaping up nicely. The Vacheron building is well done and the area looks good in general. My only comment is in regard to the last pic where the rail crosses over the road. Generally it would tend to be the other way around. Friction being the way it is, it is easier for a car to cross slopes than a train. I would suggest that the city engineers revisit that option.

Best of luck with the game, and I'll be back next update to see how the crops are coming along.

nice capital. i like the diag street. and also, i agree with threestooges about the rail line. just a thought. now, for me. i dont know how to calculate my education as it rises. could you message me and help me out? thanks!
