The Wi-Fi Here Sucks

During my [temporary] rule of Mount Robson I have photographed my accomplishments.
This is a thriving industrial port in a town called Khantanga (Ka-tan-ga). The terrain is terribly hilly and rough so I am forced to use creative road layots to keep the terriain smooth. This area is slightly modified as shown by the concrete walls lining the basin. You can see docks which are very important to the area as there is no viable way to get supplies through the mountains. Well there is but lets just say you would need 100 gallons of gas, an armed convoy (mountain people aren't too friendly to the valley people here), and supplies for about 3 weeks. Of course there is a road but it goes up, down, around, under, through, and some how above (they had some extra money to spend when they built this place) but who wants to go on a roller coaster like that (especially with RPG armed guerillas around you)?
This is one of my favorite shots, very pretty and detailed. This is the Joseph McManhon Bridge spanning what was the Gorcegoma (Gore-suh-go-ma) river. In 1889 ORT (they are on a different time scale to them it would be 24 MRRT [Mount Robson Relative Time] as their region was founded in 1865 ORT but chosen for 0 in their time) a huge mudslide wiped out the river that carved out the valley (it once strected from the springs to here). The bridge was redone in 1950 ORT to its current steel state. In 1973 ORT a town was setup (Khatanga) and a road built over the filled in river and the bridge stands today only as an alternate route to easy congestion.

If you are wondering about the names the sims here come from easter Rusha (Rush-a) and they do have a strange system but hey I dont name the damn things. The towns here are only recently developing because of recent discovery of highly fertile soil for farming and Siminium in the mountains. The process is extremely efficent and few sims are needed so there is no population boom.
As for progress with the regional government they also feel the Pathian farmer's pain of being on the outskirts of SimNation and agreed to join us if we offer military assistance. The terrain being rough will require special training of our troops but they will still be better armed and trained than SimNational soldiers.

Pardon Me

I, the Grand Overseer of Path, will be taking a slight vacation to a region called Mount Robson to do some building there and possibly seek out an ally for Path. I was turned on to this map at sc4devotion.com and they challenged me to get a ton of people into the region.

I will bring back pictures from my vacation. And if anyone steps out of line my personal thu...I mean police force will apprehend you and put you to work on Pleotheora Island (there are a ton of nasty ass bugs and you in the breakroom only cheap off brand soda is sold)

The Reports are Flooding In

We are finally able to bring you pictures of the new Path capital Enderson. They are heavily censored as they were taken from a government photographer.

This photo is from atop Capital Hill. The strange building is the House of the Parliamentary Congress of the Republic of Path. Also visible is the Hue Library of the Revolution (Hue is the current presidente) and the National Museum for the Creative Arts. Both were designed with professional help from willing volunteers. The avenue that goes down the hill (at the top of the photo) is the Gran Boulevarde

This is a photo of Government Plaza at the bottom Capital Hill. The single building in the middle is The House of The Military Congress of Path. This congress controls the immense Pathinian military but has little say in the government affairs. The two towers are the The Two Towers of Strength and Wisdom. The two domed building are the House of External Affairs with Friendly Nations and the House of External Affairs with Unfriendly Nations. There is little difference between the two but since the generally unfriendly nations are well..less than friends with the people of Path they must be sequestered away.

This is the Pleotheora Island Army and Naval Base. As visible there is a base of 10,000 strong (not counting sailors), 6 nuclear submarines, 5 destroyers, 1 battleship, and one top secret ship (not visble in the picture). Also there is a nuclear power plant providing power and fuel for the subs (not even I know where all of the power goes...).

This is the Glouchestire Island Air Force Base. There is a fighter squadron, a bomber squadron, 1000 men, and *clunk* nothing else of interest. Return to your home citizen.

Uh...I think something's happening...

From Jack Loew...

I as an embedded reporter in the SimNation capital is reporting a important occurance. I do apologize for the simpleness and belatedness of this newsflash but most of our communincation as the farmers from the western province of Path have incited a fairly large rebellion declaring their province an independant province. We have received no word on the SimNation's position but considering the recent military expansion in the West they do not have the striking power to get their rebellious territories back.

From Bob Newtown...

In the new city of Enderson the people of Path have for the first time let outsiders see the capital. To put it frankly it outdoes every eastern SimNation capital. They have now offically claimed themselves the People's Socialist Republic of Path. Under this new system the provinical governor Stephen Hooke will become acting Prime Minister and a new election will put representatives in the new parliament. Pictures soon to come as large bandwith cables are currently under construction and will be complete soon.
