News Report:
As the c0re-1 project (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=138478) is slowly but steadily progressing, it has been announced that the Confederacy of Frozenhells will not require territorial expansion for a period which might very well reach a century. In truth, as tourists might have seen, fossil fuel-powered automotive vehicles are currently banned from all major urban centers, which themselves are undergoing extensive architectural work.
In fact, large-scale residential districts are currently being built while towers are downed on a weekly basis. It is estimated that by the end of the year, the first ten GeoPolis Complexes will be completed and declared operationnal. These wonders of engineering and human ingeniosity represent the most massive integrated underground constructs yet. They can each provide fully equipped fireproof and soundproof living quarters for up to fifteen to fifty million individuals, unused sections being simply sealed-off. Also, these surface-ecology friendly marvels give its inhabitants easy access to complete recreative facilities, BioSphere-grade enclosed parc ecosystems, structure-integrated high-speed transportation infrastructure as well as highly polyvalent and easily adaptable educational, commercial and industrial districts. All current GeoPolis constructs are designed with expansion in mind and as such current construction plans for each GeoPolis include adaptive residential volume for at least twice as much inhabitants as the entire population of the urban regional zone it will replace.
To the joy of the ecologically conscious amongst the population, each GeoPolis complex has a fully independant, clean and perfectly safe geothermal power generation facility and, when complete and inhabited, will permit to make the surface return to the will of Nature, in a proportion of approximately 90%, excluding, of course, the territory of Ground Zero Island.
Evidently, if any nation is interested in building similar urban centers, Frozenhells' various engineering and R&D firms will gladly offer their assistance, withstanding proper monetary retribution of course.
