Hypertrophy Archives

Kingdom of Hypertrophy was originally a nation of the future which went on to the 23rd Century. But since I do use present world stuff (like song choices and 20th & 21st Century cultures) I believe it's best to revamp its history with a fictional twist. Because of present ties with Holidia, Deismaran Empire, and Hiigaran Confederacy. So start it back from semi-realistic scratch.

Between the 1300's until the 1800's

The Nashon Tribe settled on the island nation of the Hypertrophy peninsula, where today the City of Hypertrophy stands. They became the original settlers of the kingdom until the Summer of 1790.

July 16, 1790

Russian Merchants sailed into the Hypertrophy Bay where they formed a treaty with the Nashon Tribe to establish trade and commerce. The name was originally dubbed. Гипертрофей meaning the land of complexity and development. The great island nation was later discovered by Japanese Merchants where the settled at the present Avalon District of Hypertrophy. Another treaty pact between Japanese and Russian merchant were made to trade together in Hypertrophy. Although, there homelands were made of rivalry, Hypertrophy developed a truce between the Russian Merchants, the Japanese Merchants and the Nashon Tribe.

Russian Merchants established a fort at the battery of the city and named the city Ft. Hypertrophy.

Japanese established a fort on the shores of the Avalon District and named it Ft. Takuma

Hypertrophy’s population was only 6,000. By 1855, it grew to 100,000. The island nation alone grew to 500,000 after the gold rush.

1861- 1866

While the United States was in a Civil War, there were both Union and Confederate Soldiers who deserted the military to settle in Ft. Hypertrophy. Also a number of free slaves settled in Ft. Hypertrophy, where they were treated more fairly than the United States. Although, Ft. Hypertrophy was part of the United States, the city and island nation wasn’t widely enforced and the deserters of both Union and Confederate forces settled there freely.

City of Hypertrophy is the largest of the Hypertrophy Kingdom, with a population of 5,250,000. It is the 2nd most densely populated cities in North America. New York City ranks number 1 and San Fransisco ranks #3.

With a city of rich culture, capitalism, and the fine arts this is a city of mystic wonder west of the North American west coast.

Because I have left the COFR and I need to reform the site. I will have some updates. Hopefully by the end of the week at most. (PROMISE!)

Considering that you have to "reinvent" most of the history, you did really put in tons of effort, research (personal experiences perhaps?) and creativity into the history.

Great work.

Woah, that's amazing! Makes you want to make a CJ, doesn't it? So imaginative.

Thank you everyone. I have a CJ. It's just some modifications will have to be made in order to keep up with the current world.

It also makes you want to make your own CJ too. It's a really detailed history, how long did it take?

Detailed history? Only 3 days. (Work life) The CJ total of 9 months

Here are the fancy new updates in a clear picture. I was reworking the city, because I wanted to get rid of some of the Maxis bldgs that surrounded the main downtown areas. (I first designed this city in 2007) But I thought I would bring some more details. But I am alsow intending to rework the seaports since I want to make them ore realistic and smaller.

Here are a series of pictures.
