Las Crucitas

As expected the Pathianian military defeated the SimNation military swiftly and they have agreed to all our demands in exchange for our military not squishing them like the cockroaches they are. BUT today we have a spotlight on a little noticed province (most likely due to its miniscule population of 2,o00) of Las Crucitas. This community is only an island which is the only inhabitated part of the province. The island was founded by Spansims in 1492 (ORT) who were exploring to find new fertile lands. As seen in this picture there are two volcanic cones which formed the island thousands of years ago. This is a curse and a blessing because in the larger one has a thermal power plant but the small one has a nuclear missile silo (constructed just before the Pathian/SimNational War) which would detonate if the volcano ever erupted (not likely). The town visible here is called Casa del Gobierno (named when it was the Spansim HQ until 1853 when they were ousted from the area).
In Casa del Gobierno there is a small down town area with shops and such and a few apartment zones plus some small single family homes. The people here are generally poor but there is little crime because they have tight bonds with each other and see no need to fight for wealth. The people here either work in the shops, in the peanut fields (the main crop of the island since ancient times), or in the Globnex factory.
The Globnex factory. The majority of the people on the island work here. The factory makes many different things but all it is random shit that is sold to Amerisims. The factory for all of its olden appearance it is a fairly modern factory.
This is the Casa Paolo and the Colonel's Mansion. Paolo used to be the controlling family of the island with their peanut growing operation. When SimNation took over and capitalized the area the farms were bought out by the Pedrianna family (long stories that need to be told about them) and the workers were placed under a cruel yoke. The Colonel's Mansion used to be home of the provinicial governer in the times of the Spansims but has become a historical monuement

Nice. Love the name of the province. And I was totally not expecting an update. On a random Sunday night.

Thats what happens when you live as I do. One game to the next. Just got tired of having to get back to where I was in my Zelda game (I was tired of the damn amoeba whoopin my ass) so I played SC4.
I have a focus on this Eastern ocean (connected by an unseen canyon here) and my new waterfront in New Corksland (which is technically a separate city called Bethesdasia).
