the premise is simple. post the names of a few (at the most about three) of your major cities, and a few words about the landmarks, flora, fauna and function and we will attempt to pair your cities up. won't that be nice?

Viaesus + Mediapolis sound kindred...

and would Argyres like it if Illios and our own Limeport were twinned?

the City of Limeport, on the east coast, is a proud naval city built on shipping and transport. it's home to 51 million, and most of Skittletopia's imports and exports pass through here at some point. huge silver zeppelins decorate the sky taking this and that on it's way. not much room for flora and fauna in this throbbing industrial nerve center. unless you count the morroccan black in the employee lounges ^_~ places to see include the archduke's Jade palace, and for a mere ten OS you can soar over the.... buildings and stuff in a zeppelin tour.
