	Akiria Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

Akiria
Please return often, will be updated after each turnchat, and more pictures will follow shortly, if I can get some space.



Aims and Objectives for Akiria, for Term V:

1) Build Tree Farms and other facilities built in all cities. Each base should have a Tree Farm, Children’s Crèche, Recycling Tanks, and others as appropriate. All bases are currently undergoing a massive restructuring of build orders to this end.

2) Get a Freshwater Sea Base up and running quickly, and getting much energy for the faction, with trawlers if the need is felt. Also get population boom, since population can rise by much in sea bases.

3) Get Twin Peaks, and the new base: formed, crawling, and getting population rises. Make them into successful bases.

4) Make New Tassagrad and Aurora into world renowned bases for beauty, style, happiness and productivity.

Aurora

Aurora is the Capital of Akiria, and home to the small-but-influential Save The Environment Party. It is a vibrant base, with many sandy beaches, and an exiting nightlife. Aurora is the base of culture, with many fine theatres, art galleries, restaurants, and is home to the Peacekeepers first Morganlink 3D vision interactive cinema, a new invention whereby you can become a character in the film itself.

Aurora is also the base for exploration of ‘the fungal sea’, and includes the foremost ecological scientists, who are researching the eminent psychic abilities of native life, and the connection with the fungus. We expect them to public their findings, entitled Centauri Empathy, in the very near future.

Aurora appeals to many people: scientists and explorers for ‘the fungal sea’; culture lovers and party-goers for the nightlife; and farmers and agriculture specialists for the abundance of natural nutrients, and it’s rich soil, irrigated by the freshwater sea. It is the ‘Crown Jewels’ of Akiria: Beautiful, productive, and vibrant.

New Tassagrad

New Tassagrad is a progressive base beside the sea. The Major or New Tassagrad has been working hard on his ‘base rejuvenation plan’, which includes the building of many new facilities. It is becoming an increasingly popular destination as a weekend get-away for New Apolyton and UN Pizza Delivery executives, and has many fine hotels and secluded beaches. The River Eight runs along the outskirts of the base, and the mountains around the river are becoming popular with hikers, wanting to get away from the hustle and bustle of the base.

Building: Tree Farm.

Twin Peaks

Twin Peaks is a quiet seaside base, for those that wish to get away for some quality alone-time. To the South it has the most beautiful natural scenery, in our great nation, unspoilt by neither man nor fungus. The coastline, though rocky in places, hides many undiscovered sandy beaches. Being a frontier base, much of the accommodation is in basic log cabins, although this adds to the atmosphere of the place.

Twin Peaks is popular with writers and artists, who wish to get away from the culture of Aurora and have peace and quiet to explore their imagination. One of Akiria’s favourite poets, William Lettersvalue, is finishing his new anthology here, entitled ‘The Light and Shade of Chiron’; and Ansel Eves has been commissioned to do a series of photographs about Aurora and Twin Peaks, entitled ‘Between Cinema and a Hard Place’.

Population: 2, of which ½ are talents, no drones.
Facilities: None, but many being built.

4 Minerals (0 from crawlers) +4
2 Energy (0 from crawlers) +2

Ecological Damage: 0.
Growth in: 2 Years.
Building: Children’s Crèche.

Cyclops

Cyclops is a mountainous frontier base. It will be founded near and ancient monolith, and many of the U.N. Peacekeepers best archaeologists are en-route to Cyclops to excavate and study this ancient society. Although Cyclops is not a very fertile settlement, plans for a condenser have been drawn up, and this will make it much more inhabitable. There are also an abundance of sea nutrients nearby, although fungus will have to be removed first, so utilising the extra resources is still in the preliminary planning stage.

Information to follow.

Bases Soon to be Built

Freshwater Sea Base: [name] is a party island, as STEP’s influence to have fun has rubbed of on many of the local inhabitants. It has a vibrant and loud nightlife, and creates much tourism to the region, as the idea of a large party in the middle of the sea appeals to many, especially the already infamous 18-30 clubs that intend to migrate to here. [name] is expected to be one of the fastest growing bases, due to its abundance of sea nutrients, and its unique appeal. Although laws apply in the sea, the use of Xenoroses and Synthahol are generally accepted, and this helps to create the liberal, happy, uninhibited atmosphere of [name].

If you wish to live in Akiria, please state which base you would like to move too, and I will add you to that base.


Current Inhabitants:

Aurora:
Drogue: Governor of Akiria and DEI.
Hercules: Major of Aurora and DPO.

New Tassagrad:


Twin Peaks:


U.N. Marine Institute:
TKG: DIA and our Holy Emperor

Really Nice, Drogue!
So you are finally creating a free-drugs-base, aren´t you?

Good job so far!

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I believe you asked for suggestions for Akiria somewhere...

Forest... everywhere.
Tree Farms... everywhere.
Hybrid Forests... everywhere.

That should do it

...

I would suggest some boreholes outside of base radii (particularly in small gaps between bases), but I know you'd never go for it.

This certainly confirms my intention to move to the region and to work closer to STEP institutions. Might even be able to 'cycle to work. And as directer of Peace Operations the 'fresh water sea ' base sounds great for a spot or R & R.

Great post

Thanks to all for the support and ideas.

Cedayon:

You are right, I will not be using Boreholes. it would wreck our tourism, and be an eyesore, aswell as creating eco-damage, before we get hybrid farms. I already have many forests in place, and orders to build tree farms in all bases in the build queues. I am also undergoing a program of farm/condersers, to provide much needed nutrients for crawling.

Is UN Marine Institute the name for the new freshwater sea base? Does that mean you'll be moving into Akiria? It will be an honour to have you

GT:

That what do you call the supervisers, and board people, who are responsible for each nationalised company? Even nationalised industry have executives, else who would be responsible, and in control of them? Besides, I mean executives loosely here, by its broader meaning of any high up, white collar, business type person (ie. a suit). You must know the typoe of person I mean.

Cycle from the Freshwater Sea Base? Is that the base you wish to move to? Or to Aurora, the capital? Did you get my message? Would you like to be Major of Aurora?

BTW, by "party island", I see the Freshwater Sea Base to be a little like Ibiza from old earth

And at least how I see it, because in our faction all the large public sectors are nationalized, that doesn't mean we stamp out each little private entreprise. For example, surely it is allowed in our faction for a UN Marine Institute citizen to hire his own waterbikes to tourists, or to run a bar overviewing the white beaches of Aurora.

I like the Role Play. I agree too. I do not see laws against entrepreneurship, necessarily, but that all but the "normal profit" goes to the government. Unless we have a society without money. That could be good... Please argue, and disagree with me, but PM me, I do not want to clutter my thread, it took much time to research and create.

Yes, I see what you mean here.

And as for the rest, yes, you are probably right here too.
