QADDRO

State of Qaddro is mostly populated by felines who are one of the leading races in planet Earth. In this universum humans didn't exist and most of animals that our world knows, walks on two feet.

Qaddro is located on Ãrmania Continent, on shores of Pamorian Ocean. This highly developed nation may be small by its landmass, but is a strong superpower in the World and has permanent seat in United Species Security Counsil. State is democratic republic which head of state is called krio who is elected to power for life or until he / she resigns. Krios has much power in politics, but they do not have dictator's rights. Goverment is lead by Premier who usually comes from leading party, but history know occasions where the Premier has from civilian job. Elections are kept in every 4 years and 200 members to Parliament, or Kur-Nau as locals call it.


Flag of Qaddro. The green diamond reflects the wealth which comes from enviroment. Black hands symbolize love and green lines are for Pamorian Ocean, which has granted Qaddro food. White blackground is for peace.

Qaddrian language is the offical language and thanks to Qaddro's influence in world it is spoken in 12 different nations in same continent and 5 of those nations has its as offical language. Qaddrian language resembles Finnish language from our universum and names and titles will be told as Qaddrian, but they are (if possible) translated to World Basic, or English of our universum for MD's readers.

Qaddrians are religious people and 82 % of the people are members of Ikkadian Church, which symbol is cross. Ikkadians believe in afterlife which "greatness" depends on your actions of your life. There is so called Holy Book, but it has only symbolic value and most of the people do not believe its stories about carpenter who walked in the water or healed sick people. Ikkadians have one deity, called Ikkadi which - as Archbishop says - watch people's actions and judges them when they die and are ready to enter the Afterlife. There is no Heaven or Hell like our universum's religions have.

Qaddro is very old nation, founded in year 420 of our time when Qaddrians invaded the penisula called Qaddro from Avroman Empire. Since then nation has been involved in several wars: for defence and gaining land. Last war where Qaddro fought was so called Eastern Islands War, where superpowers of the world overthrew dictator of Araq. E.I.W was fought in 1994 and Qaddrian military occupied the Eastern parts of the country. Some called it as oil war, because Araq has large amounts of oil beneath its surface. Other wars which are considered important for Qaddro were Iponian War of 1430 - 1434 where Qaddro gained land from north. War of Ifrasia, or Impearistic Wars were fought between Qaddro, Alba, Êiranz and Lisgal in primitive Ifrasia. After the war Qaddro emerged victorius and gained several colonies from Ifrasia, but most of them gained independce during 1960's, but Qaddro still has few colonies. Third World War, which was fought in 1939 - 1945 started when Arayan dictator wanted to expand Aryan people's living area. This clever mad dog got Imperial Nappon for its side, which has had facist coup and Nappon invaded Qaddro, but after years of fighting Allied won and Qaddro, as one of the important allied nations, was elected to USSC's member.

Qaddro is densely populated, there is not much countryside left, but jungles are preserved. Urbanism has been strong and cities began to grow when electricy and steam power were invented. Roosa, the capital city is one of the largest cities, but it does not have much skyscrapers as Ronja or Kongars has. All cities of Qaddro are well known by their W2W areas and espically in Roosa those blocks seem not to have any end.


Map of Qaddro will be modified each time when new city is shown.

Qaddro is huge economical power, average GDP / person is 53 000 uedas, or 53 000 euros of our money. Ueda, the currency of Qaddro is used in 32 countries around the world and 128 of world's 500 largest companies are from Qaddro or have their headquartes in. Most of these headquartes are located in Ronja, the economical capital of the world. If we compare Ronja to our world cities, it would be mixture of London and New York City. Ronja Stock Exchange is also world's most followed market, if something goes wrong in there, whole world goes on crisis.
Most important areas of economy are banking, oil production, retail chains, High Tech, luxury products and paper. Because Qaddro is small and urbanized country, most of rare materials are imported and then produced for something better and then sold.

_______________________________________

There! Whole new intro, whole new flag, but same Mumbai map :P I'll make this post more Wikipedia like with pictures when I first get them. Update from Roosa arrives when I wake up and get those pictures ready. After this the huge green line is replaced with better graphical thingy.

Hopefully you like the new start, comments of this are appreciated because New Qaddro is something what I've worked for so long. And of course, the pandas and tigers will come along tomorrow or today.

Good night folks!

QADDRO RESTRATED

As I promised, here comes the first real city update. It is quite small now, because I must go to the school soon.

Update is from capital city Roosa (previously it was Ronja), which could be translated as Rose (the colour, not the plant). Roosa has gained nicknames such as City That Never Ends and City of Roses. Roosa was founded in 390 by Avromanias as Rosadium and city kept it Avromanian name for century until it was Qaddrianized as Roosa. Roosa is made from islands and mainland, original city was founded on islands, which are called Vanhakaupunki (Old City), Kiero, Agini and Valian. Name Valian is no longer in used that much, because island is divided to Harbour and Humphrey Districts. Islands are mostly populated by wealthy felines. In Humphrey is one of the most popular department stores in whole Qaddro and there is also War Memorial Plaza.
Kiero, named after saint who lived in 742, is sometimes called as heart of the city. Kiero's and most of Roosa's skyline is dominated by massive Kieronkirkko, or what remains of it after it was badly burned during WWIII. Kieronkirkko, Saint Kiero's Cathedral is still active church and every Ikkadian holiday there is organized large masses. Though Kieronkirkko is maybe most important church for Qaddrians, it isn't the seat of the Archbishop of Qaddro.
I won't talk about other two islands yet, because I've no pictures of them now.


REPLIES

Schulmanator: Well thank you :P It will have many things in storage room, lets hope that we don't lost the key.
Pat Riot: Propaganda will return and it won't be made using Paint anymore ;D Thanks, I spend hour to write it I guess.

Usually I do not reply when posting Propaganda, but I guess I now must :P

Earth quake: Well thank you very much.
bat: I knew that you would like these! I'm also very proud of the flag, not a common Tricolour.
warconstruct: Yeah, I like to build on European / Scandinavian style. And thank you, after Propaganda there will be another picture update. Come again soon.
rooker1: And I enjoy reading it! I simply took off saturation and for sea I selected the sea and (not joking) ripple it :P
Pat Riot: Propaganda is here! And its still a tabloid! :P Where did you spot the second pink car? I only see one above Kieronkirkko.

Pat Riot

One above the seawall and one to the top left of the church.

Yay! Propaganda! Grocery shopping checkouts have meaning again  :thumbsup:

QADDRO

Hello good folks. 13 new replies to Qaddro since I made complete relaunch in the page 8! Keep commenting and you lurkers should comment too. And now some information of Qaddro's media:

There is 10 newspapers in Qaddro, though only Tomorrow and Propaganda (the tabloid) is nationwide. Other important papers are The Hindu Times and ReNT, which more economy based than others. Tomorrow isn't the oldest one, but it succeed to win its competitors after recression of 1921 and when other papers went down its demand grew and helped to establish it as Qaddro's leading paper. It claims to be neutral, but it is slighty right-oriented paper. Tomorrow's headquarters are in Ronja. The Hindu Times was the oldest paper, named after district of Roosa. As said, recression hit hard to newspapers and THT was dropped as a second largest paper. Newspaper is known for its liberal views and its current editor has a habit to question Tomorrow's articles. ReNT or better known as rEnt.com is economical paper created by ZOO MEDIA in 1992. ReNT is considered as best economical paper in Qaddro, but its neutrality is discussed after it wrote article about how greatly ZooTV channels are doing before ZooTV networks made huge loss in 2001. Propaganda is also own by ZOO MEDIA. Tabloid's story began in 1955 and it was bought by media giant in 1979. Soon after the deal Propaganda dropped the slogan "Qaddro's Finest Newspaper" and changed it as "You do - we tell". Propaganda's offices are in Roosa outside the ZOO MEDIA Towers which are located in Ronja. Reason for this are politicians in Roosa .

"I have a vision..television..TELEVISION!"
ZOO MEDIA controls the skies with its ZooTV networking. ZooTV is best known by its huge broadcast screens over the world, where it operates. Oldest and one of the largest of these screens can be found from Roosa's Sand Square, where is ZooTV's studios too. Huge broadcasting arrays have created a urban legend that ZOO MEDIA is trying to control people's minds, though military has proved that they are wrong and they actually have larger network in Qaddro. ZooTV has 7 different TV-stations and 2 radio ones. ZooTV One and ZTV2 are normal channels, where news, movies and series are shown. One does not have any commericals and is praised by the population. ZTV News is a news channel, ZTV MOVIES is, duh, a movie channel, Kitten Zoo is for children and ZTV Sport is for sport. Seventh one was created two years ago as a music and young people's tv channel and can be seen in internet too. It was originally called as ZooMusic, but was changed as Lyla in 2008.
Radiostations are called as Zoo Radio, which has no music. Only news and talk shows and more youthful is POP.
Other networks are Qaddro Broadcasting Company, which serves are Qaddrians in the world providing news from Qaddro via their QBC World channel. QBC also operates two channels, which are like ZooTV One and ZTV2 in Qaddro. Kanava- is compeletly movie oriented network and shows different kind of movies in their Romance, Action, Comedy, Horror, Family and Kids channels. Then there is Kanava- K18, but it has moved to internet only after.


An example picture from ZTV News. Thanks to the storms, picture isn't very sharp.


Now! I will add logos of these companies later, now I'll go buy some Pepsi Max and next big update will be shown when page 9 starts.

Forgot to reply!

Pat Riot: The only pink car is the chevy looking one, which has white picture in it ;) Others are wnb-pink cars of Qaddro. And nice that you liked my paper.
iamgoingtoeatyou: I've always been GRATE :o but good that you like my newer work.
Schulmanator: You know that I know that you love those areas :P I love them too, who wouldn't? Maybe Qaddro can establish diplomatic relations with Monkey Island or Schulmania? M.I seems to be more modern than Schulmania. Hmm..
bat: Thanks! Hope you like this one too!
