Today we launch a constriction team event; it is fourth event of such kind where you can build a new city!
This time action will be on all realms – Vera, Olga, Mary and Lien!
Although this is not only different thing from past years, this time a political party has an opportunity to crease the whole new country!
GENERAL RULES
To build a new city a player should pay certain amount of money which depends on the city’s location and its population. BASE COST is a price for a city with population from 50 to 250 thousand people. For bigger cities you should pay an ADDITIONAL COST, for each 50 000 over 250 000. (It does not mean you can build a real city with hither population then in real life, it means that big cities cost more. As a reference of city’s population we accept links from Wikipedia).
As an exception you can build smaller city if it has cultural, sport or another kind of fame in real life.
Countries are separated in 3 different price categories which depend on size of retail, development of service and country’s current population.

Characteristics of the new city will be determined by administration. Founder can propose to add there a resource. It is possible to add a resource which exists in this city (and its reasonable surroundings) in real life. For 3rd category countries it is possible to add 1 new resource. For 2nd category its 2 and for 1st category you can add up to 4 different resources.

Example
To build a new city in Greece with population of 320 K people we need:
2000 billion – Basic cost for 250 k people for counties of 2nd category
400 – Additional cost for 100 k people (rounded to the highest number)
Total of 2400 billion
The founder will get an award with cost of arms of the created city and if he/she would like to, mayor’s chair.
For a country of 2nd category it is possible to add two new resources – for instance olives and fish. Founder can build unlimited number of point property with these resources with 50% discount until September 30th.
“BUILDING” NEW COUNTRIES
This year we decided to add a new feature of much bigger scale which is building/creating new countries.
We have to mention that we don’t expecting from someone to build India or China. This opportunity targeted on small countries and states to create more presidential positions and to add more interesting places to do business in.
GENERAL RULES
The major and the only one payment for a new country should be done by spending points. The cost depend on population of a new country:
- up to 100 000 people – 300 points
- from 100 000 to 500 000 people – 500 points
- from 500 000 to 1 000 000 people – 1000 points
- more then 1 000 000 people 1000 points +250 points for each millions of people (small adjustments are possible)
Building can be done by a group of people in the same political party. In that case money could be taken from each (or certain) members.
Half of points invested in country could be spend on buying new point property in this country.
Mayor/Governor/Presidential seats will be distributed between party members according to the application of the party’s leader.
Basic cost including 5% bonus to the quality of goods produced in the new country (Make it realistic, for example milk only in small Alps countries, etc). This bonus can get only countries with population of 500 000 people and more.
Resourses. The majority of small countries can’t brag about rich resources but many of them have some life, bananas are growing and fish playing around. Therefore in countries which have population from 100 000 one resource can be found, in countries with more then 500 000 people – two resources and in countries with more than 1 million people – 3 different resources. Resourses can get only countries with population of 100 000 people and more.
Awards. Party’s leader (or another person if party’s leader agrees) will get an award of a country discoverer and awards for each city in the country without bonuses.
New country will have a minimum one city (the official capital) and all cities with population more then 50 000 people. Additional payments for those cities ARE NOT NEEDED.
EXAMPLE OF A NEW COUNTRY
To build a new country – Cyprus with population of 858 000 people you going to need 1000 points.
- It includes building of four cities: Limassol (101,000)
Ctrovolos (67,900)
Nicosia (55,000)
Larnaka (51,000)
- Party’s leader can determine where to invest half of points spent on country (on what property). For example you can take 250 points villa in the capital.
- This country might get a permanent quality bonus to goods produced there, for example +5% quality for famous Cypriot wine
- Two recourses can be added, let’s say it would be Fruits and Fish
- All party members will have a 50% discount on all fruit farms and fish bases in the country until September 30th (Thru the application from party’s leader)
All additional conditions can be discussed in private manner. If you have a question, write a private message to diska.

I'm trying to figure out the best options for building cities; Basically I want 1 farm and 2 plantations, with the following resources (taking in consideration I want to rotate crops every virto year):
Corn
Tobacco
Flowers
Olives
Coffee
Oranges/cacao/grapes (can't really make up my mind)
Budget 6T; Anyone can make some recommendations for the cities I could build?
The downside of cities in Nigeria is that you only get 1 resource for a city, so I can't switch to another specialization every virto year. I might still consider a city there though, but a city in an expensive region has my preference due to the higher amount of resources.
Maybe there is some city where flowers, olives, oranges and grapes are possible, which is ideal for crops rotation. Probably something like that would be possible in Spain or something.
I'll do some further research, hopefully I can find what I'm looking for
(For whoever is interested in supporting the adventure of city building, I have some bonds for sale at the moment)
Springfield, the capitol city of Idaho. About 211k population. Should cost you 4Tn. Might allow you to grow corn, Tobacco and who knows some special coffee and cacao?
Not too sure Mayor Quimby would be enthusiastic about quitting his job with all those fringe benefits though...
Or, if you'd like to please a certain rogue cat, build Granada for your olives. I'm sure the region also offers oranges and corn; Tobacco, and/or flowers shouldn't be a problem...
Besides that, you'll surely find a nice southafrican city with a dutch sounding name to promote are language globally :-)

Exciting! Mary's players so far make a rather lame impression when it comes to city building!
I think 8 resources = 8T, i''ll buy more of your bonds and wish you joy with the decision making and process
