Introduction

The Federation of Prycuse is looking to have a more diverse population. President Celveal formed the International City Project.

[SIZE="5"]About

The city is divided into districts. Each nation can have up to four (4) districts. Nations are encouraged to group their districts together. The maximum number of people for a nation to send is 120,000 people (30,000 people per district). The city will be well-guarded and there will be a strong police presence and if it has been approved by the president, nations can maintain a small unit of their own soldiers within their district(s). There is both a seaport and an airport available for transportation. As the city gets filled up, more land can be annexed.

Districts

Districts are the sovereign property of Prycuse, but they are treated as a joint ownership. This means Prycuse owns the land, but the nation which inhabits it administers the land. Prycuse’s national laws are enforced in the city but enforcement on some may be lax.

Powers of Administering Nations

The powers of administering nations include but are not limited to levying taxes on a district, passing laws of their own (they cannot contradict Prycusian law and they made be overridden), coining their own version of the Mundi and/or their own currency, controlling import/export, public transportation and their airspace, and setting up minor trade agreements with nations within the city.

Military bases and factories, defenses (such as mines, missile sites, walls that cut off other districts, etc), airports and objects that may offend other cultures are forbidden. Each nation must have a currency exchange center (exchanging its national currency for the Mundus) in one of its districts.

The Governor

The governor is elected by the representatives of the nations. The governor can serve up to three (3) terms of one (1) year each. The representives can pick from three (3) candidates or abstain. Each nation has one (1) vote. Those whos do not provide a representative cannot vote. More explanation can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=13651553&posted=1#post13651553).

Currency

The currency of the International City is the Mundus (meaning “of the world”). The Mundus is available in coin form only. Within your nation, you may still use your national currency. The currency thread can be found here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=555516).

I've already started an "International city" thread - not many people seemed to be interested. Check my signature.

We will happily canvas 150,000 people to join the city. Citizens dispatched will be given generous start up funds as a lure.

Although we thank you for your acceptance, you have not answered our questions regarding immigration papers and (air)ports. We are also unclear about whether the acceptance extends to our request for a security presence. If so, what weapons are they permitted to carry? Finally, we are concerned about how 20,000 (or 37,000 as you suggest) would fit on a block. How big exactly is the average block?

I apologize for the over look,

Immigration papers at the time are not needed.
There is a port in the red (government) section on the map.
The airport is under consturction a the moment, thought a airport on Appeos island only a few miles north of here.
Your request for a security presence is accepted; will stay for the first weeks as you said.
Sidearms and simi autos are acceptable for the moment.
The block is greatly exaggerated and the map is kinda misleading and im am unsure on how exatly how big a block is. Ill try and fix this a soon a possible.

(OOC: clearly im new)

OOC: I'm working on the new map now, so tell me any changes you want. Also, maybe call them districts instead. Most people things of blocks as really small....because city blocks are. You should aim for a population density of around 1,000 - 2,000 per square kilometer, so right now blocks would be between about 37 and 19 square kilometers, making the city between 1480 and 760 square kilometers. New York City is around 1,200 square kilometers, so this is probably a little big (even at the lower limit). I'd reduce the population limit to around 25,00-30,000 per block (so you'd hit 600 square kilometers with 30,000 people on a block and 2,000 on a square kilometer). This means the population would be between 1 and 1.2 million (a pretty good-sized city). However, if you had a smaller city in mind, just cut the population limits even further. Personally, I would opt for a slightly lower population but maybe you're more ambitious. Defiantly stop calling them blocks, though.

P.S. Sorry about the block of (probably very boring) text.

OOC: thank you that will clear a lot of things up.

OOC:Could you plaese make 4 more districts to make it an even 50.
And could you make a Government area on the outskirts of the city for the airport.
The small island is called Sterling Naval Base.
The large zone is divided into 2 parts. The top half is The Seaport District. the bottom is Sterling Millitary base and admin. Ex town hall, courthouse, jail, offices ect.
The body of water is the pacific Ocean. Ceripel Bay.

The island is owned by Prycuse, but the city is a neutral Zone Administered by Prycuse, so Prycuse doesn't own the city but is charge of defending, building, and maintaining it. (sorry if that doesnt make much since)

I'm sorry, but I didn't put in the extra districts or the airport because that would have involved redoing about half of it. You could just pretend the airport's in the other red zone.

OOC: good job, what program did you use to make the map?

OOC: Thank you. I used Vector Designer to do most of the drawing and then I actually used my word processor to draw the lines at put in labels.

I would like to, with all due respect to yourself and to President D'Arcy, appeal your decision to allow The People's Republic of Golden Rebirth to use a district for agricultural purposes. There is plenty of land for farming but only fifty districts in the International City. Furthermore, farming is a dirty and not necessarily sanity occupation and it has no place in a city. Furthermore, the salt air blowing of the Pacific would likely hinder the crops.

OOC: Will there be an IC thread where we send our people and build up our districts?

Cookesland said he'd make one but hasnt yet. I would make one but tied up on this the currency, and the elections. Ill make one later if some doesnt first.

Opened 53, and 56-65. Likley the last expansion for a long while.

No. I could see why you want to move. so add 60,000 with the new Districts?

Thanks a bunch, now I will have an actual district. Could you only add 45,000 people? I want room to expand and build parks and open spaces within the territory.

The Empire has closely watched the progress of International City and we see a good opportunity for the exchange of culture and ideas. International City is a unique model for the world and while it has not been the first, neither too shall it be the last. The Colony of Denmad, a Layartebian special economic zone, exhibits similarities to International City. We feel that this link is a springboard into International City.

The Empire would like to secure blocks 54 through 57. As such, we will provide a starting population of 120,000 civilians, who will be of the best and brightest the Empire can offer. The Empire does regard its districts not necessarily as sovereign territory but as administered territory. As such, the Empire submits these possessions to the law of International City but wishes to have an administrator be directly responsible for the Layartebian Sector. At present, we do not submit a candidate to the governor's elections but, perhaps, in future elections, we shall.

Sincerely,
Minister of Foreign Affairs


Classification Levels

Standard: Standard classification is the normal level of encryption. It is equivalent to the standard levels of encryption seen on most secure e-mail clients.

Confidential: Confidential classification is a higher level of encryption than "Standard" but it is not heavily encrypted. It is used mostly for flash traffic to foreign countries and requires some additional decoding time. It uses 512-bit RSA encryption methods and has several key ciphers that change unpredictably.

Secure: Secure communiques use 1024-bit RSA encryption and several key ciphers within them that change unpredictably to ensure that message traffic is not hacked or decoded. Access to said messages would require heavy cracking software and significant resources but it is not "uncrackable." It can be a viable level through 2010.

Encrypted: Encrypted classification is the second highest level of classification. It is uses 2048-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers within it to ensure that cracking it would take such a significant amount of time to accomplish that, should it be done, the message's usefulness would have already expired. Though anything is crackable, because of the methods employed, this level is often considered "uncrackable" by current capabilities. To ensure revolving protecting, ciphers and encryption algorithms will change unpredictably. This level is sufficient until 2030.

Maximum: Maximum classification is the highest level of classification available. It uses 3072-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers that change unpredictably. It can provide protection past 2030.

Experimental: Currently not a fully recognized level, experimental denotes a category using 15360-bit RSA encryption and multiple key ciphers that change unpredictably. It is not in full operational use as of yet.

The Empire is pleased to see that there is a contingency plan already in effect. However, we wish to discuss what options the individual nations have. To clarify, would the Empire be allowed to conduct its own evacuation? Protocols can be made to seal the Layartebian Sector off from the remainder of International City, which would allow Layartebian citizens ample time to wait for rescue. Should unrest occur or some sort unforeseen event, we would like to handle our own evacuations of high priority personnel. This would most likely take the form of helicopter evacuation to seaborne vessels close to the shore of International City. The regular citizens may be better handled with the already established plan.

The Dominion is regretfully located to far away to reasonably evacuate 150,000 citizens. In the event of war or unrest we will rely on negotiation.

As an added precaution we would like permision to construct 'underground' emergency shelters.

Finally the reduction of zone sizes presents our government with a slight problem. We had arranged with The Republic of Charles Michael Waclaw the release of 150,000 citizens that they have been holding under the condition that they were not strictly repatriated to the Dominion. Would it be possible to aquire an additional region?

The numbering system doesn't make any sense to me either, I just replicate it in my maps. Also, the expansion land is used based on the need for more districts to accommodate more nations, not to allow larger districts of more for a single nation.

Yeah I'm okay with 4 districts but the goal was to group them all together and I had that until a map change. We should keep it at 4 max with the yellow for future players and what not, perhaps. When the map is finalized, perhaps we should "reclaim" if our intended grouped districts get all sorted out of whack?

Well it's only because, really, the map changed from its original incantation. That means a lot of nations that previously had blocks don't anymore.

Nuclear power gets a bad rap. I have nothing against it, really. Supposedly, modern reactors are meltdown-proof. And Chernobyl only happened because damn Ruskies were running it (for the benefit of our commie friend, here).

Just a quick plug (I'll delete it if you want, Prycuse), you should all go establish embassies and consulates in Zinaire. (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=555943)

No, I recommend everyone establish an embassy in Zinaire.

Thanks for the endorsement.

I am. But my plot is PERFECT, it even has my favorite number,

Only after the map is finalized and not subject to future changes except additions!

You can keep your districts, but some may want to change.

Well again, a lot of people signed up for blocked districts but the reworks threw them around so it sort of changes things.

So will everything move around? I'm a bit confused, and like my linked districts, but I don't care too much.

EDIT: Is the current map wrong?

Nation Name
The United Republic of Anagonia (Modern Tech)
Districts
We respectfully request Four Districts
Number of People
Forty Thousand (40,000)
Representative
Colonel James Baker (URMC, Retired)
Special Requests
The United Republic of Anagonia respectfully requests that these four sections of land be allowed to have Military Applications for the interests of the United Republic. Such as, but not limited to, that said four districts be located near water and that we be allowed to construct a small airport for our own uses. We would also respectfully request permission for the United Republic Navy (URN) to be allowed to dock at said ports, with permission and boardings from your Coast Guard to ensure we mean no harm.

The United Republic Military will pay extra taxes to you to ensure that there is no contradictions, as we would more than likely construct a barracks and other facilities per our Districts. There will be civilian restaurants and hotels, of course, and places of entertainment, basically making it a Military Town. However, if none of this is acceptable we will withdrawal our request and respectfully find someone else to send our currency to.

Of course, as an added precaution, your armed forces may monitor and patrol the four districts at will, inspecting and ensuring we are not creating anything to do you harm. Therefore, we have assigned Colonel James Baker of the United Republic Marine Corps as the representative, and he shall willingly inform your government and any other interested parties, including civilians, on what is going on.

EDIT

Also we would like permission to construct our districts, as our funding can adequately handle the job. It is up to you, of course, and you would ultimately have the final say. But we are willing to levy the cost of construction from your hands, into ours, making our government pay ultimately for everything within our districts.

We respond with outrage to recent requests made by the nation of Anagonia. This is a city of culture and cultural exchange, not some military outpost. It is clearly stated in the guidelines that these districts should not contain airports or military facilities. Anagonia very well should take their currency elsewhere because if they don't, Zinaire will. Should their terms be accepted, we will withdraw all monetary backing from the project in protest.

Office of Military Affairs

Our friends in Prycuse,

We respectfully thank you for your response, and understand fully why you chose not to accept it. We have been looking for, for a long time now, sovereign nations to host outposts for our ever-reaching Navy. As you may or may not be well aware, the United Republic prides itself in patrolling most International Waters, and with so few outposts present it is a pain on our resources to maintain the peace and stability we provide to those unsung smaller brethren nations that are in dire need of control. Either way, your location was present in a strategically acceptable location, and we are saddened to see the offer turned down.

However, we respect the Sovereign Decisions of every nation, and will not press the matter further. Should your nation itself, and not this international endeavor, seek any funding of any sort, contact us and we will be willing to discuss terms of an outpost with at least the rent amounting to, yearly, $500 Million Universal Standard Dollars. This amount can go up to $2 Billion Universal Standard dollars, but no more. We leave this open to you, and wish your ultimate peacemaking endeavor the best of luck.

Kind regards,
Admiral Standford Hood

Our friends in Prycuse,

I must admit I was expecting to have to search the wide world for another participant, but you seem to have interest in our offer. Indeed, we would gladly accept these terms, under the condition that you respond here to our International Relations (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=543982) and therefore choose which relations you feel shall relate to a safer future for our two nations. We pride ourselves in honoring agreements, of any kind, and shall not endeavor to permit large vessels of any sort within the vicinity of the city, nor permit any of our Destroyers and Frigates and Submarines permission to near the city at any time.

I believe that we can adequately answer the denial to the Battleship and Carrier docking by sending our Resupply and Repair ships to the port, which are about the size of a destroyer in tonnage and have no weapons whatsoever, then transferring the needed supplies therein to the transport thereby repairing or resupplying in International Waters.

Concerning the payment, the United Republic Treasury will now send the first yearly payment of $500 Million Universal Standard Dollars to your treasury upon confirmation, and a permanent banking house shall be established to send and receive currency and confirmations so that our financial relationship will not halt in the near future.

As a further note of trust we will request that your military be present to ensure that our military owns up to its side of the deal. You may inspect our ships, equipment, and personnel at any time you see fit. Our only need for the base is a resupply route and occasional repair station, there will be no aircraft landings or any violation of airspace until you either give permission or see fit to allow the United Republic this strategic possibility. I trust that this military and financial relationship will extend to the near-future, and that our two governments will become very close in the years to come.

Yours truly,

Ports- yes! your districts especially. good spot

Bridges- they are there but not on the map. ill put them on next update of the map.

To EVERYONE---
I have put nations in new districts. (list is on the page 2 before this one) If you do not like your spot speak now! after a day or 2 you will not be able to change. And if you do not like your spot after the next 1-2 days then it is your fault.

Based on your IC response suggesting a larger port, we would like to request one or two Littoral Combat Ships (http://www.naval-technology.com/projects/littoral/) and the associated naval crew to patrol "our" bay. Should the need ever arise, they will gladly serve alongside Prycuse's navy or coast guard.

All good Accepted

bump) accepting new nations

The current concern of a terrorist threat to the city alarms us and has brought to our attention some of the other dangers that may arise. Whilst we approve of Zinaire's deployment into the city to protect the power plant and of course the missile defence around the Trade tower we feel that there is a need to safe guard the reserve. We would like to set up a research institute just outside of district 31 which would coordinate (non-military) patrols through the reserve to help prevent illegal logging and poaching; and also to monitor the effect of the city on the reserve's ecological balance.

We would be willing to build and maintain the facility and could recruit wardens from the city providing a source of employment. We could also offer some satellite time for monitoring the area.

Later on bio research labs and conservation initiatives could be put together to make sure that Prycuse will get the most out of its sustainable ecological resources.

Finally we would like to suggest that we establish an International Police Bureau within the city to help protect it from sub-military threats.

Good Idea(s)

Research- Sounds good, I could set up a proposal if you need support or funding. If not go right ahead.

International Police- Ill propose this.

We will be willing to release funds from our environment budget. We'll put together a proposal for use of any comercialy viable bio-resources (such as medicines). Perhaps when you get a chance you could start a thread indicating what sort of an environment surrounds the city and what sort of conservation you want.

A proposal could be good for anyone else who wants to get involved. Nations contributing to the coast guard will be invaluable to the project.

Zinaire already has two ships that are tasked with patrolling the bay our districts sit on. You would be willing to send more and help coordinate the coast guard as a whole (why do we really need one though?).

Are you asking me?

Well, obviously we would need your approval to form a Coast Guard, but I was asking Sarrowquand why he thought we needed one.

Not that it's a terrible idea to do even for no military needs [stranded boaters, etc]. But yeah. Why?

ooc-

Ah, I thought I rembered something about other nations donating man power and ships to the local naval resources. I guess I wasn't sure how much control had been given to joint and collaborative action.

Oh well, ignore that for now.

Whoa! Where'd my districts go? All have been moved about, and some have been claimed by others.

you missed the big reclaim; I can still move some inactive people's districts for you.

ohhhhhh. I didnt even put you on the list. sorry. where do want your new districts?

I suppose 59, then, and if BiteMe isn't active, 54 as well.

When (if) the coast guard issue does reach the agenda we can couple it with a discussion on what the various stretches of coast are being used for, leisure, tourism, shipping, fishing, luxury housing, etc.

Rate 5 stars!

I love the idea of city-wide Wifi, but in my city (and others, I like to hope) the municipal Wifi sucks really bad. It doesn't even work in the heart of downtown.

If we have the other universal police force, an FBI thing seems like overkill.

Also, I think the interest in the city has kinda plateaued and now we should focus on improvements and RPing rather than expansion.

Once the new Wiki States is up, we should put info about the city up there (also, if you want I can help you do a wiki factbook for your country since your current one is just on the forums).

Regarding currency exchanges, I think that the lobby of the International Market Tower should have a master exchange (with every kind of currency) in it and all districts should be required to accept Mundi's IN ADDITION to their national currency (because having to exchange money every couple blocks would be a real pain).

a Ferry to connect both sides of the City or a Grand bridge.

I brought this up yesterday or whenever. The new map has a black line across the bay, that's a bridge. I think that another one or two would be nice (most cities have quite a few bridges over any water that they straddle) and the ferry isn't a bad idea for a more touristy way to get across.

There is a bridge not Grand (see map)

Thanks for the districts, Prycuse!

No problem

A bridge with two right angles?

That is a bit peculiar. Hadn't thought of it.

not in reality; They are rather sharp but no where close to 90º.

(Its because paint (I use it for roads only) would make it look bad if I did it the way it really is)

(Zinaire did you buy or make those superdreadnoughts?)

Also, what did you think of my city wiki idea?

What about the traffic system? Is there a train system already created? Any turnpikes when passing into other districts?

What about the traffic system? Is there a train system already created?

True. Any kind of public transportation? Buses, subways, streetcars?

Also, where is the entire city's administration based out of?

What about taxis? What kind of buildings are in the city anyway? Where are our people getting jobs from? I should of asked if I could builds some monuments or statues in my districts. Too late now, but maybe I'll import them later from myself.
