QADDRO

Thank you again for commenting good friends. Today I shall make another basic update from Roosa, not so much writing. Little basic information about religion, Ikkadianism.

Ikkadianism is the offical religion of Qaddro, but not state religion. In Qaddro state and religion are separated and religion doesn't control everyday life though majority of the people attends to church's events and goes for Sunday's worships. Ikkadianism has a holy book called Murkina and it was The Law until 1521 when st. Melonius simply "got mad" to church's and Archbishops' way to blackmail money from the people using wrath of God as their tool. Melonius wrote a paper which questioned the stories 2000 years old about carpenter who walked on the water using or healed sick people. Melonius told the people that Murkina was written then when people exaggrated those events and said "kitten of Ikkadi" wasn't real person but many of good preachers who told about life which would please Ikkadi, the god. Their actions were not the law then and greedy cruch is using them to get money and power. Melonius said that "if you live a good life and try not to commit sins, but if you commit then and you regret them, you get sunny side in the afterlife (because the is no hell)".
So Archbishop and other head of the Ikkadian Church in the world had to give up for demands of Melonius and Qaddrian people who started to speard the word in the neighbouring countries. The church gave a statement that there is no law anymore to pay gold for fogviness or better life and Melonius is right. Today Ikkadian Church is world's largest religion and has so called "spinoff's" like Roofinism and Cascadi Ikkadiasim which has little support in Qaddro.


REPLIES

bat: Thank you! Nice that someone reads the stories what I write ;D
Krio: I totally agree with you.
mightygoose: GONE relates to the fire, it should be centered but I forgot to do it. Thanks for commenting anyways.
Pat Riot: Nope :P Thanks.
iamgoingtoeatyou: The storm didn't make much damage and was a short one, so don't worry ;D
Simpson: Thanks!

And for that unnamed crook: Tell the reason why you dropped Qaddro's ratings without comment :) :) :)

PICTURES



Roosa Central Railwaystation is located northwest from islands and isn't really in the center of the city. Next to station is small chapel for those who need to pray or get married before trains leaves. The skyscraper is one of the highest buildings in Roosa and belongs to Elevation Bank who recently bought it, but kept the old name Wrigley Building.



Close-up from Humphrey.



And another from northwestern distirct of Germania.



Ministerinaukio or Ministery Plaza in the middle of Roosan Tuomiokirkko / Roosa Cathedral and Ministery Building which houses the interior and immigration ministeries.



Busy night in the harbour. Customs building never sleeps.

I love all of those diagonals... good thing my head is on crooked so I can see them perfectly!  :P

Qaddro is welcome to establish relations with Monkey Island. King C. George III is very pro-feline!

Well they're probably comparing bribes taken for the day  :D

Krio, this is my first visit I think. Particularily liked the first pic with the station, the underpass at the front is an interesting inclusion, even better if there is some parking down there. Have always admired your use of the diagonal.

QADDRO

Hello good people. Today we show you a different teaser what is coming up next from Roosa. If someone guess what is it related to, he / she gets a reward. Hopefully the update is coming up tomorrow or maybe tonight somewhere near midnight of Eastern European Time.

Updates on political front too! Qaddro, the state of felines and other animals has signed diplomatic agreement with Kingdom of Monkey Island and has now opened an embassy where Qaddrians can now apply visa to get to the Monkey Island. Qaddro will be making diplomatic agreements with animal-ruled nations, so humans don't bother :P

And because of the teaser / competition I won't be talking anymore!

REPLIES

bat: Thank you again! I'll show more of the harbour and also the newer harbour front when I get it ready :P
Schulmanator: Relations has been established! And good that you love diagonals, but unfortunately I don't have diagonal building for M.I Embassy
iamgoingtoeatyou: No it doesn't! ;D
Pat Riot: Yes you have and thank you! :P
tooheys: Welcome for Qaddro and thanks for commenting. That station has the underpass, IMO it is Tonks' best work for ages. But Qaddrians doesn't take bribes! :P We bribe others!

That's all folks!

Great painting there of the Monkey Island's Embassy!! And nice table of the Roosa stock exchange! :thumbsup:
Looking forward to the update...

Pat Riot

gee, that chart looks awfully familiar to the real economy  :D

but TG is doing well  ;)

Krio

QADDRO

Well, Pat Riots got it somewhat right. Indeed, economy and stock exchange will be featured in the update. I'll write more text to it about the system in general, but there are three different stock exchanges or as locals call them "pörssi". Roosa Stock Exchange is focused more for energy and fuel companies and state owned enterprises are part of it RoSE 20-index. Ronja Stock Exchange is more bigger and its Erkko- and Y200-indexs are those which are most important ones for world's economy. In last teaser update you saw the current situation in Roosa Stock Exchange, not going very well thanks to finacial crisis of Pamoreccian Confedrations which was caused by unneeded wars. So far banks of Qaddro hasn't been affected hard, but there are talks that HSBC (Habla-Sangez Banking Corporation, today only HSBC Corp.), Qaddro's 3 largest bank has got trouble in Southern markets where housing prices have gone up.
Tonight I just show couple pics, one teaser from RSE and overview of costal islands.

REPLIES

bat: Thank you! Update is soon here..
Pat Riot: It does :P Got inspirated because of real economy. But TG, building corporation, isn't going well at the moment, because people aren't building new houses / flats thanks to finacial crisis in South and Pamoreccia.

QADDRO

Thanks for your interest again faithful readers. As promised, I'll write more about Qaddro's economy.

Qaddro is one of the world's most industrialized nations and is leading country in rocketry, medicine and most of world's finacial geniouses has born or have taught in Qaddro and its universities.

During ancient times Qaddro was known by its wines, catnip and fine gold. Mining industry became prominent after dark ages when steam power was invented and massproduction allover the world started. Because Qaddro is quite flat, it didn't have enough iron or other important ores than gold. Gold is found from riverbanks and still mined by Red Hill Mining Corporation which base of operations started the industrial city of Red Hill Mining Town. In need of rare materials Qaddro started colonize other lands. Colonies were struggling when Qaddro flourished and got stronger and after 1960's Qaddrians started to shame their treatmeant of natives. Because this is not history lesson, we continue on economy: Qaddro produces the crude ores to metals, jewelry and other products for industry and consumers. Vertigo INC., nations largest company also started from mining but now operates in every field of industries.
Oil and natural gas are Qaddro's main rare materials which can be found from the shores of Qaddro. Qaddrian oil companies like ExOil, Neste and Gasum, which is state-owned basicly own the Northern world's oil production and have recently made huge profits after oil prices went up, but foreign companies like Texas operate in Qaddrian oil fields and markets.
High tech industry has developed more and more in Qaddro after nation decided to cut emission in 1970's. Before tax cuts for HT companies Qaddro's only high tech company was QAJ or QSO, the space agency. Today Qaddrian watches, mobile phones, computers, microchips and spaceships are well known in the world. QAJ is only aviation company in Qaddro, no one else produces airplanes so Qaddro must bought them from outside world.
Food industry is medicore, nothing major. Only food source in Qaddro is fishing after there is not enough land for rice or wheat so  nation give up for agriculture in 1859. Qaddro buys its rare material for food industry from it eastern neighbour Govlak. Politically Govlak is a puppet state for Qaddro, the poor nation is larger by its size but their leaders get telegrams from Roosa every week.
Finacing has been Qaddro's speciality since dark ages, bankers from Qaddro have much influence in other nations and Qaddrian banks are world's largest ones. Elevation Banking Group or Elevation in short is world's largest bank and world's 5 largest company. Finacial corporations are located in Ronja's Hewson district. 57 per cent of all world's finacial flow goes through Qaddro and you can imagine how many conspiracies are created thanks to this fact.

Though world's first stock exchange was estabished in Alba, Qaddro has many of them. Roosa Stock Exchange, oldest of Qaddrian exchanges was founded in 1753 and Ronja Stock Exchange in 1792. There is third exchange too in Maguire, founded in 1893. RSE is largest and most important of these and it holds over 600 companies all over the world. RoSE has 200, mostly Qaddrian ones and MSE has almost 200. RoSE is more closed exchange than others and getting listed there isn't easy. Today, we go to see Roosa CBD around the stock exchange, but replies first.

Overview. Some of the areas haven't developed, interesting thing is that after zoning the zones disappear from visible eye.


Stock Exchange Building, a landmark and cathedral of commerence behind MEGATECH Tower. Roosa Chambers of Commerence also are tenants in the building.


Maguire Plaza next to Stock Exchange. Central Police Station and Roosa Opera House face towards the plaza, named after krio Maguire who died defending his country against invanders in colonial wars.


Krit Avenue and Krit park. The black goof is from nihowankaras building. Someone help.


And finally, the pink car in the traffic jam.
