After Five Years, Antarctica Towns Booming
Chalk Another Success Up For a Greener ViZion

Vitalita, ViZion —
Nearly a decade ago, ViZion launched an aggressive campaign to setup towns in its Antarctica claim that could not only simply survive, but actually succeed. These small towns, connected by underground railways, consisted of a few buildings, no roads - only walkways - and were protected from the elements by a concrete wall with an acrylic glass roof and windows to allow light into them. Two small cities were also constructed in similar fashion, but on a larger scale.

Using eco-friendly energy sources, such as wind power, solar panels, and using the natural lava flows below ground to power and heat the cities, they offered up no greenhouse gases, and produced its own food via indoors crops and animal farms, among other things.

Five years ago, these towns were officially opened up, and while the majority of the people were ViZionarians, 40,000 citizens - given dual citizenship - from The Far Echo Islands, as well as 200,000 from Alfegos, also called these towns and cities home.

And now, here we are, five years into this experiment. And we have appeared to conquer the unlivable continent known as Antarctica. Completely green. And booming with their own economies. They have also become an important part of the overall ViZionarian economy, shipping products and food in and out of its two ports to other ViZionarian lands.
