The Peroacia Region

[Schulmanator]

An excellent start! You have a great town and great extras to help bring it to life. 

[rhythmandjays]

jjune4991: ARGH! for war. Don't worry about it. I have people looking at this so it's getting some coverage.  The historical depth of this MD is MUCH deeper than I first expected and people aren't used to it I guess.

klaascornelis: I've never played that game, so I can't have that deja vu moment...But welcome to Peroacia! 

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

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

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.

Now only if there was a way to quickly move these materials.

Three inventors and scientists helped create the concept of the railroad. Mike Jobey invented the steam engine in 1769.



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 do have a surprise for everyone tomorrow...but you have to wait

That was a lovely tour on the steam train my friend.
The Gavino Palace looks wonderul, a quaint setting it is in. I'm glad Peroacia is doing well after the war and hope this MD will continue.

warszawa: I'm glad you enjoyed the tour. Thanks for your encouragement! 

And big congrats on making it to the Best Sellers!

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. Take a look at it and let me have your suggestions 

Make sure you have downloaded the file I have uploaded at the end of this post

For now, this will be a mini-update of a couple of pictures.

Here is one of the first factories constructed in Topaz Town.

Of course, some farms




And a region shot...one with city names, one without

Enjoy and please comment!

Hello my friend your region is superbe and very good updats 
Continue and it's realistic  the last update is better than all 

[jjune4991]

very cool. i like that shot of the train bridge. and i'm sorry, but i cant download the file.

[rhythmandjays]

Simpson: Thank you kindly. I'm learning as I go along.  I appreciate it.

jjune4991: Appreciate it.  I will PM it to you.

Remember to download the file I have uploaded (last update) if you want to participate in the Interactive Game I've planned. Don't forget the suggestions

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.



By the end of President Tullio's term in 1906, the city of Gavino met a huge influx of people. The Rufino Tullio Memorial was built in his honor in 1910.

Ha Ha, you can see the Sims in the bus stop in the last picture lukin frozen like ice
I love the national museum (which looks like a church) shot - a lot of cosyness comes out of it.
Shall look at the link tomorrow and keep up the good work my friend.

[jjune4991]

very cool memorial. that is one stunningly beautiful building.

[Simpson]

Very good and realistic
I really appreciate the new update cotinu my friend

[Pat]

Hey Rhythm you have a great MD going here and wow you have been busy with updating... Lots of great things happening here from the battle to the infulx of residents!!! I cant wait to see what more comes about here for "The Peroacia Region"...  I like the game idea and I just read that threw of all the rules...

[rhythmandjays]

warszawa: They do look rather stiff, don't they.  The national museum is actually a church, but I wanted to go for a different look when choosing the building.  Thanks for the encouragement.

jjune4991: Thanks alot!! 

Simpson: Thank you my friend! 

Pat: Welcome to the Peroacia Region.  Yea, I'm just trying to get some people onboard with this MD and the future game. Once I start focusing on development and the MD game, updates will surely slow down to allow people to make their moves (and a chance for me to update everything). I'm glad you like the rules so far. 

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.



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.

There is about 6 updates left, so the game will probably start next week!

Enjoy and please comment!

[Simpson]

Very good update my friend 

[threestooges]

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.

[rhythmandjays]

Simpson: Thank you very much.

threestooges: First, Welcome to the Peroacia Region! I really appreciate your comment very much.  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. 

Since this update is a combination of two updates (because I didn't post one yesterday), this update will be worth 10 SP. Limited time offer!!!

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.



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".

Enjoy and please comment!

Yeah very good update my friend 
The bridge is superb wow continu 

[superhands]

nice MD youv'e got here. by the way, the 'forth birdge' photo youv'e got, i took a couple snaps while it was being painted while on holiday last year.mind if i post them?
dave

[threestooges]

Interesting twist. If they time it right, the might be able to catch the local "Nationa Government" troops off guard, but I'll wait to see what happens next update. Until then, this one was pretty good. That's a massive bridge, and I'll be interested to see its in-game counterpart if you show it. I've read through the game rules and all, and it seems like an interesting idea. So basically, as I understand it, stats will change during each update. It'll be a bit of a task to keep up with, but Im sure you'll be able to handle it fine. Looking forward to the next developments.

[jjune4991]

very cool. i like the bridge. where is the real one? and uh oh...another great war...crap...

[rhythmandjays]

Simpson: Thank you again friend

bighead99: First off, welcome to the Peroacia Region!  Sure, post all the pictures you want because that would be great. That is a beautiful bridge! 

threestooges: Thanks, a good story always has a twist or two.  You will get to see the in-game counter part, but sadly it won't look exactly the same, I really like this bridge and it's architecture, so I decided to use this picture. You are right about the 'stats per update' idea. Thanks for the encouragement. I should be good. 

jjune4991: Yep yep. that is a great bridge.  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. I hope you enjoy it and the next update will be soon.

Enjoy and please comment!
