Avoiding the pesky advertisement...
















This is a list of records which nations may hold. Unlike ViZion's list, however, this list accepts all records. Yes, I added more tech levels, but it was a little hard for me to get the numbers right... so... don't start yapping at me! Note that records taken in one tech level can be used in another tech level. Counter-claims are welcome, however, I will do extensive research if a counter-claim is made

OOC: No records? Humph. I wonder where they are....

Modern tech

World's Largest Monolithic Dome: Centerfire Mall - Springfield, ASoGM

1,000 meters long, 500 meters deep, 60 meters high

Your claim has been accepted and recognized as the World's Largest Monolithic Dome in MT.

Okay... fifty views and ONLY TWO RECORDS? lol

Worlds largest optical fiber information grid

773,500,000,000,000 Km total length of fibers (to 4 significant figures)

OOC: 20 billion times RL earth's circumference

What tech era is this in?

Modern tech

Okay. Your claim has been accepted and recognized as the World's Largest Optical Fiber Information Grid in MT.

MT-

Tallest Tower: The Spire, Magna Polis, GWO (9,000 feet approx)
Largest Capitol Building: The Spire, Magna Polis, GWO (9,000 feet by 5 miles approx)
Largest artificial island: Magna Polis (Constantly expanding)
Most accidental homicides by sexual encounter: Helga Steinbreicher (173)

PMT-

Tallest Tower: The Spire, Magna Polis, GWO
Largest Capitol Building: The Spire, Magna Polis, GWO
Largest artificial island: Magna Polis

All seven of your claims have been accepted and recognized in their appropriate areas.

Largest Banana Cream Pie: Big Mumma, Kartek Ant-Arctica research facility.

The Most Serene Republic of Avenio would like to claim the following two records in the Modern Tech era:


The World's Largest Opera House: The Orpheum Theatre in Bella Insula, constructed in 1846 and renovated twice, once in 1912 and again in 2006, constructed in the Viennese style, with 3800 seats and 11,000 m² total floor area.

Mewsland, I do have to point out that several MT cities are larger than the current FT recordholder. Sasha of Greal has I think over 150 million, while Magna Polis has 205.7 million citizens, and there's most definitely ones larger than both combined. Some countries are actually only one city.

Indeed.

Arcadia, capital of Steel and Fire, has a population of 786,295,040 citizens (last census), with a metropolitan population estimated at 1.9 billion. That would be in MT, and I'm pretty sure that's not a world record. In FT there are people with cities of 6 billion or more, ZMI for instance.

ooc would guess there all so lot more Coruscant clones too

That can be put into MT as a record, and in FT, Mew Falls is constantly growing as the population grows. Also, lots of people are moving to Mew Falls. And then there's this in my opening statement.

Note that records taken in one tech level can be used in another tech level.

Largest Banana Cream Pie: Big Mumma, Kartek Ant-Arctica research facility.

What tech era?

Sasha of Greal has I think over 150 million,

Actually, it has exactly ten percent of my population (Which is 421.3 million people in the city then), not including the metropolitan area, which combines with two other large cities.

OOC: Can we take this elsewhere please, seeing that it isn't a record as yet?

MT-

Tallest Tower: Trade Center, New Curahee, 101st (10,000 feet approx)
Largest Capitol Building: Northpoint, New Curahee, 101st (10,000 feet by 10 miles approx)

PMT-

Tallest Tower: Trade Center, New Curahee, 101st
Largest Capitol Building: Northpoint, New Curahee, 101st

World's Most Guarded Building

World's Largest Multi-Complex Building

We must regrettably deny your claims in MT and your largest capital building claim altogether, as the claims are highly unfeasible. However, the tallest tower claim in PMT has been accepted and has replaced the Spire as the Tallest Tower.

World's Most Guarded Building

World's Largest Multi-Complex Building

What tech era?

OOC: Hello?

MT: Largest number of tanks in service: The Dictorial Republic of Sumer (14,895,637).

Beats out the next highest I know of by at least a digit.

OOC:It's MT, since that's all I do lol.

Modern:

"World's Largest Tree" : Hawkseye, 1,200 Feet in Height, 288 Feet in Diameter, Ravens-Crag Grove, Sutufinai

"World's Largest Tree-House" : Fort Hawkeye, 10 Stories in Height, estimated diameter of widest Ring-level: 400 Feet.
