Pics of City:
Downtown Linktoria City

Lets look at the checklist...

A minimum of ten in-game pictures of your nation
A unique and realistic flag of your nation
A unique and realistic coat of arms for your nation
A map of your nation's location that does not overlap with an existing AIN
nation and is realistic to your CJ style
A type of government that again matches your CJ style
A realistic size and population of your nation
No in-game UI
A reasonable ratio of custom content to maxis provided content (50/50 minimum), as that there is little repetition and a constant style of architecture
A detailed and realistic context (history) for your nation
The Network Addon Mod (NAM) (I can't really tell)

Custom terrain mod
Previous, positive and active contribution to the AIN
Attention to detail
A custom water mod
A decent amount of realism (no airports ending with a mountain or skyscrapers in the middle of a small town) (Skyscraper on a mountain?)
Regular updates and commitment to an external city journal (on either Simtropolis, SC4Devotion, SimPeg or Simsports, links required)
Active participation in a previous union (links required)
Have hosted a community event (must have been on a previous union or a site such as Simtropolis, SC4Devotion or Simsports, links required)
Realistic transport network appropriate to your city style and location (maps or pictures should be provided)
Custom Trees
Decent attempt at custom BATs/lots (pictures required)

Looks like I may need improvment?

I fixed up my coat of arms a little bit.

First, I'd like to welcome you to the AIN Forums. Also, thanks for your interest in joining our union.

Please watch out for the double post. I'll only give you a warning this time

As about your application, my point is that, although you're active on SimSports and you'd probably be here too, you first need to improve your cities a little. Let's say...the last picture. Having a skyscraper in that zone is unrealistic. Same applies to the university and that big football stadium. Then, the custom content. You should download more stuff for ST or SC4D. After that, just take some better pictures (without the in-game UI) and it's fine for me.

Well, Those buildings sit on the border of the mountains, and I'll keep working hard, btw is Linktoria and AIN member yet? I dont think so only you and saathoff know. :scratch:

Linktoria is not an AIN member yet - try reading the stickies here to see the process of an application.

Ok, got it!

Hey Wacky, welcome!

As Matt said you need some improvement... But as I see your pics aren't good quality, you should minimize the gameplay thing, and press "PrintScreen" button to take a good pic, then put in on MSPaint and upload it from imageshack (as u did) or any other same site: PhotoBucket, Flickr, etc.). Well as I see on your CJ at SS, I think you missed some dependencies and that's very important. For your CJ to be realistic with your nation's location and all, I suggest you to always plan your cities from a RL city/pic. As you are near North Carolina, take some inspiration of how to build with the good size of skyscrapers, amount of them + the suburbs and architectural style of the place:


For your coat of arms (cuz your flag is perfect ), I may design one for you, or what would be the best: Ask Joe from SS, he's a master!

Good luck!

You can make one if you want.
Anyway something like what inspired me to build these skyscrapers could be like, Atlanta.

Trashers' City? I'll make you one.

Whaaaaat? Atlanta is a fine city! ::

Here Im gonna add some more pics:








(reserved for more pics)

GDP ($ - Per Capita):
HDI:

Can someone please tell me what these are?

Please don't double post, use the edit button,

GDP = Gross domestic product
HDI = Human development index

Ok thanks.

I think that i can post. If not sorry..... Well if look at Hiigara well the first time well it was weak and well at some time it change to better.

Well for starters just keep around the forum ask questions and etc. Try to be an active part of the community, try to change parts of your nation. I think there are interesting parts of your nation Just they need some work not many, but well some changes on downloading more bats and giving your imaginations a full swing.

So well i think that you need first to try to learn from those who wore in the community of great aoin forums and try to just download and give a full potential of your imagination, ask question no one bites. If you don't get admited that does not mean that its a full NOOOOOO, it just you need to change somethings and give a change to your nation. So just question look trow Simtropolis, Sc4devotions and well all started from somewhere. So ask questions.

Thank you if anything comes up I will ask.

Good or not?

Nice!
