Here's some pictures of infrastructure in Sharina. I thought it'd give you guys a better understanding what Sharina is like in architecture. :)

-------------------------------

Sharina Residential Houses:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/house.htm

Houses in Sharinas provide the best luxurious living accomdations to date. Each house is provided with a backup Hydrogen generator, ethernet connection, satellite and cable television, a reinforced basement for shelter during warfare or natural disasters, a recreation center with virtual reality capability, a small greenhouse garden, a swimming pool (optional), a one or two car garage, and several other amenities.

-------------------------------

Sharina Apartments:

Apartment buildings in Sharina. They offer amenities such as free ethernet service (transfer rate of 1 gigabyte per second compared to modems of 56 kilobytes per second), reliable heating and cooling systems, several hydrogen fuel cell backup generators (in case main power goes out), free satellite and cable television, swimming pools, and health spas.

-------------------------------

Sharina Barracks:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/barracks.htm

The barracks are where Sharina houses its infantry, the Apocatequil. The barracks has its self enclosed power and water supply, provided by hydrogen fuel cell technology. Sharina's barracks also have Mazer point defense batteries built within the structure, to provide static defense aganist missiles and bombers.

-------------------------------

Sharina Training Centers:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/training.htm

The Training Centers are where the Apocatequil infantry hone their skills. Training include obstacle courses, endurance tests, simulated war games, sparring, and firearm practice. The Training Centers have their own self contained water and power, just like the Barracks. Usually the Traning Centers are located right next to the Barracks, so they share underground facilities and tunnels.

-------------------------------

Sharina Commercial Docks:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/dock_comm.htm

Sharina's Commercial Docks are revolutionary in design. They can be built in the middle of bays or fjords, independent of shorelines. A ring with three rods rotate around the dock itself, to provide a seamless and efficient transfer of goods from the Goliath vessels to cargo processing facilities located inside the dock. The goods are sent down a long elevator, towards underground tunnels, which bring the cargo to shore. The reason the Commercial Docks are built away from shore is due to the fact that the Goliath transports are too large to dock at conventional harbors. Goliath transports measure in excess of 2,400 feet long, and 600 feet wide, dwarfing even the mighty super oil tankers and the Ningbo super cargo ships.

-------------------------------

Sharina Naval Yards:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/dock_navy.htm

Sharina's Naval Yards are elevated a considerable height above the water to aid construction of enormous vessels. The Naval Yards are built in the middle of lakes, rivers, bays, fjords, or ocean shores. They use robotics, scaffolding, assembly levels, and mega elevators to produce the massive Levithians and Goliath vessels. The ships are built right under the Naval Yard, then once completed, they propel themselves out from under the Yard via their own power. This revolutionary Naval Yard is quickly making dry docks and land based Naval Yards obsolete across Sharina.

-------------------------------

Sharina Laser Cutting Factory:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/factory1.htm

Assembly Plants:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/factory2.htm

Sharina built factories employ industrial cutting lasers and masers to cut all metal to specifications. It removes the requirement for multiple metal finishing machines such as mills, bores, drills, saws, etc. This speeds up production of metal goods by several factors, as metal is fed into one side, then come out as seperate parts on the other side. The seperate parts are then brought to assembly plants where humans and robotics assemble the parts into goods such as train locomotives, automobiles, power tools, computer circuit boards, hammers, wires, hinges, a plethora of household and commercial appliances, and many other objects or components.

-------------------------------

Sharina Farm / Granary:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/granary.htm

Sharina farms are capable of storing immense amounts of food, through large granaries and underground storage under the granaries. Sharina farms employ micro-irrigation, which feeds rows of crops via underground pipes and sprinklers, rather than large and wasteful sprinkler systems used in most modern farms. The micro-irrigiation system is fed by both natural water sources as well as water from spent hydrogen fuel cells. This new type of irrigation uses 1 / 20 of the water used in conventional above-ground irrigation and canal irrigiation systems.

-------------------------------

Sharina Hospitals:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/hospital.htm

Sharina hospitals employ the most advanced medical supplies, machinery, technology, and service in the nation. They provide their own power from hydrogen power generators located in deep underground bunkers upwards to 300 meters below the hospitals. They also use the pure oxygen and clean water byproducts from their hydrogen power generators. Hospitals are linked to each other via hyper-ethernet internet connections, which can provide transfer speeds of 1 terabyte per second. This aids hospitals in sharing medical research, communication with doctors throughout the nation, and efficient aid via video-conferencing during operations (if the doctor cannot be present). These Hyper-Ethernet connections also connect Sharina's many universities, providing instanteous access to the latest research and data.

-------------------------------

Sharina Universities:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/university.htm

Sharina Research Labs:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/research2.htm

Sharina Research & Development Labs:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/research1.htm

Sharina has built many universities and research labs between 1940 - 2002 A.W. to greatly enhance its education of its people. They employ super-computer cores in deep bunkers, the Hyper-Ethernet connections, various robotics, several different laser systems, self contained hydrogen power plants, class-rooms in virtual reality, rudimentary 3-D holographics, and many additional features.

The universities provide free computers in each dorm room to aid the students with homework or interfacing.

The Research Labs focus on developing new technologies or refining current technologies.

The Research & Development Labs research methods how to apply the new technologies to practical applications such as industry, economy, military, civilian life, space program, etc.

-------------------------------

Sharina Shopping Mall:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/shopmall.htm

Shopping malls designed by Sharina architects are commonplace in commercial districts in Sharina's major cities, and each small to medium town has at least one mall. The malls employ electro-magnetic elevators, LCD advertisements on walls, comfortable mini-parks with fountains and benches, multiple escalators, public internet access, Information Panels for information regarding your finances and such, and many other amenities.

-------------------------------

Sharina Missile Silo:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/silo.htm

Sharina missile silos are quite different than conventional missile silos. There are four silos rotating around a central pillar, with three robotic arms holding the ring up. The mid-air silo is aimed in the general direction of its target through the usage of its three robotic arms. The arms can detach from the ring, so for instance, the silo is needed to aim northwards, the southern robotic arm detaches while the northeastern and northwestern arm slant the silo to 45 degrees from the ground. Another revolutionary feature is that additional missiles can be supplied through the four holes in the concrete, into the mid-air silo, via electromagnetics. This eliminates the need for cranes and above-ground missile transport, as the missiles are supplied via an underground railway.

In addition, using Sharina's unique brand of COIL - Railgun hybrid technology, the 4 missile tubes can provide missiles with a tremendous boost. The tubes aid in propelling missiles to speeds of Mach 15 or greater, due to two factors. The missile doesn't require to spend fuel in its actual launch, and the COIL - Railgun is capable of hyper-acceleration, accelerating objects to unsurpassed speeds.

-------------------------------

Mysterious Machine:

http://www.rit.edu/~rxd0205/nationstates/vortex.htm

The prototype of this machine is being researched and built deep within the Grebev mountain range, away from prying eyes of civilians and foreign dignitaries. The purpose of this machine is classified, and might be released at a later date once research and development is completed.

OOC: An ICBM weights thirty tonnes conservatively. Accelerating them to Mach 15 would require a lot of power and a long gun.

((Empire Earth, I am correct?))

Very Interesting. Our designers feel that a touch of gold and green here and there might be nice.

Hmm.

I must admit I don't know too much about missile speeds and such.

However, each missile silo has its own hydrogen fuel generator, enabling it to produce its own power to fire missiles at considerable speeds without need for "boosters" and conserves fuel during the initial launch (the time where a lot of fire and smoke goes off).
