Your Capital City

This is Abu Kamarran, a Middle Eastern metropolis of 11 million inhabitants and it is growing at an astonishing rate. The city was founded 900 years ago by Arab traders and since then the city has grown. It is very cosmopolitan, with Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, Persians and some European Expatriates (Brits, Germans, French, Dutch, Greeks, Serbs).

But in the past few years, traffic has been becoming more of a major problem that the city government should address, rush hour traffic shown here -

But, as a result from the economy booms experianced in the past few years, the city has seen some many new areas being constructed.

This is the capital city of the Imperial Nycarian Grand Navy of SeaQuest. It was built an unkown number of millions-of-years-ago by a race now known only as the Ancients. The SeaQuestian Empire found the city on the bottom of an ocean on Altera, the capital planet. The technologies they found inside and the tech and ship designs that were in the databanks allowed custom designs to be built and allowed the entrance to the arena of interstellar, even intergalactic, space beyond the limited area of what was already known.

Name: Atlantis

Class: Atlantis class capital city ship

Mukasus City is an ancient city with a great deal of history, with its roots thought to date back to a number of united ancient villages thousands of years ago. Though most of its architecture now dates from the early 18th/19th centuries, some areas are distinctly modern, most notably the main business districts which were recently rebuilt from the ground up. With a total population of nearly 40 million women and men it is an enormous city, spread out over hundreds of thousands of square kilometres and containing many different districts and even whole towns.

It is an inland city, with only a small river passing through its Eastern-most region, and the best way to arrive there is by plane. Getting about in the city is surprisingly painless; a good, well-maintained road network with decent congestion control measures maintains a good flow of traffic, with direct routes to most important areas. The city centre is subjected to congestion charges for vehicles with less than three people aboard, however, to encourage car pooling and the use of other means of transportation. Mass transit systems are functional, clean and highly subsidised, with both overhead rail networks and underground subway systems providing fast and reliable transportation between many districts, with the remaining areas supplemented by a bus service. All of these are based on alternative energy sources, making them clean and quiet.



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/Reloria/market_street.jpg

Not only is it considered the political and business capital of the country, but also the shopping capital, with major high street chains setting up their flagship stores on Market Street. Leading designers sell their premium brands here, and for added benefit all stores located on this street are charged only half of the standard VAT rate by the government, making it a good place to find bargains. Historically the hub of trade in the city for centuries, it has been renovated to include all the modern amenities to be expected whist still retaining its historical charm. Millions of people from all over the country visit Market Street regularly, and it is certainly a must-visit location in the city.



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/Reloria/city-centre.jpg

Merely a few miles away is the super-modern business district of Mukasus, where leading corporations, both domestic and foreign, establish their Relorian headquarters. As with all areas of the city, aesthetics are no small consideration. Whilst exploring the surprisingly peaceful area, with its numerous parks and free-flowing streams, visitors may not believe that billions of jehanos change hands here all the time.



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/Reloria/castle.jpg

Overlooking a particularly wealthy residential area of the city, and within eye-shot of the main business district of Mukasus, is the seat of political power for the entire nation. The Relorian Grand Palace, formerly the Imperial Governor's Palace (controlled by the Empire), and before that the Palace of Monarchs, is the home of the Relorian Council and the Common Assembly, as well as the home of the Matriarch. All of the decisions made by the national government occur here, with raging debates taking place within its luxurious chambers. Perched on top of a small hill and surrounded by flora the ancient Palace belies its surprising size. Presently closed to visitors, though this is expected to change in the near future.



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/Reloria/shrine.jpg

Also close to the heart of the city, clearly visible as a dominating building beside the main highway that forms the spine of Mukasus, is the Grand Shrine of the Nameless Goddess. The Shrine to outshine them all, this incredible, beautiful building dedicated to the Goddess is the seat of power of the Nalist Priesthood. The Elder Priests spend their lives within the Grand Shrine, dedicated to the worship of the Goddess and the study of Nalist scriptures, only rarely emerging to ordain new High Priests, or to make announcements to followers of the faith. Although the Priesthood no longer commands any political power, they do command formidable respect and power with the people, which they rarely use.

The Grand Shrine is open to all who are open to the Goddess, though as with all shrines throughout the country, their beliefs and traditions must be respected by all who wish to visit.



http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e41/Reloria/south_mukasus.jpg

Many miles south of the city centre, on the outskirts of the city, is one of the most unique areas of the country, with traditional Relorian architecture still alive and well. Primarily a residential area with many historical sites and park lands mixed in amongst the homes, South Mukasus is a must-see for any interested in history or culture. Though primarily a residential area, most visitors will find residents to be warm and helpful, eager to share stories of the history of the area with any who wish to hear them.

Holy Paradise
10-03-2006, 03:25
Holy Paradise City is an amazingly large and beautiful city, called "home" by over 50 million people. Crime is almost non-existant, the majority of people who live in Holy Paradise City are rich or in the middle class. The poor are still considered to be very well-off compared to many other countries.

The main problem in congestion and room, but this will soon change, as a large area is planned for development in the near future.

Come by and visit us sometime!

Signed,
President John Holtz, President of Holy Paradise and Mayor of Holy Paradise City
