The United Communist States of Zvarinograd has found that the limited landmass of the Zemlya-Ostrova archipelago is beginning to be crowded by the masses and has turned to a project that was previously proposed in the United States of America, artificial island cities.

The artificial island proposed by the organization consists of a self-sustaining structure composed of a specialized sea concrete. The island could indefinitely support a population of about one hundred thousand people who would, for the most part, be engaged in processing the materials produced on the island, as well providing the services necessary to support the infrastructure, educational and administrative needs of the residents. Each artificial island would have an area of about one hundred square kilometers and a mass of about eight million tonnes. The energy requirements would be met by solar power and by seven nuclear reactors powered by the extracted uranium coming from the country's existing seawater uranium extraction technology and the surrounding productive area that would produce the food and material resources necessary for the support of the population. The projected production would be far in excess of that required by the island's population and surplus products would be exported around the world.

The island will also house genetic engineering research, in order for the island to produce a considerable amount of organic products such as seafood and kelp.

Yes, it is mostly copy and paste, with a few exceptions. As my country has seawater uranium extraction technology instead of OTEC.

[Reminds me of my old "Project Lilypad". I'll have to get back to that sometime....]
