Ooooh, cool!

Excellent job, I think you are 100% ready to AIN. Good luck.

Yep he is ready!

Thanks for your support Wacky and Spy!

I really like your GIF animation, and your big image, and yo... well, actually I like everything nice work! May I ask how you made the satellite view?

Thanks K50! That satellite view is courtesy of emgmod here...he did it by tilting a Region Census picture and I cropped the edges off.

Straight away all greens for Duwamish - now the admins will vote on this application judging your Activeness, CJ Improvement, Quality of CJ Overall.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Activeness

Duwamish is a very active country within sports and the City Notebook area, and you have some unique features such as the stock exchange. I really like the way you show the country off within the AIN and other sites.
Yes.

CJ Improvement

I think you have definitely improved, when you originally applied my PoIs were that you needed to show more of the country, and you certainly have. The population is more realistic for the style of CJ you have, and Duwamish is much more detailed than before.
Yes.

Quality of CJ Overall

I really don't have much to say that I haven't said before - Duwamish is one of my favourite City Notebooks here on the AIN, and you combine quality and quantity very nicely. You're an active member of the union and your country fits in perfectly.
Yes.

Summary: YES from me!

Activeness

Duwamish is active, i agree. Especially in sports, with Duwamish being a venue of the torch relay for the XIII Simlympiad and hosting the AIFF Club Tournament.

CJ Improvement

Much better than when you first applied for junior membership. In fact, it was always good and you kept it consistent

Quality of CJ Overall

Duwamish was great before, now even better! I daresay its tons better than Corraile

Summary: BIG FAT YES!

It took me a while to realise you actually needed to highlight that.

:!:

Here is my opinion, I will be very clear and kind of, very direct and unfortunatly, I will say most of what isn't going on in your nation. But if you read carefully, I hope it'll help you for the future!

What isn't good.
About -->

Your Sideshow: On your before/after pics, you're showing us only one "before" pic, so we can't really judge your improvement on this application for FM. Personnally, it's all the same. Sports venues, then suburbs. So It's like you're showing only 3 pics to me. As I see, you love sports and it's a reason you're very active in SS and AIN, since both communities have sports events, but it's not a reason to show sports venues more than 50% of time. If you showed us some of your newspapers it might have been better.

Your Video: I didn't saw it since when I try to play it, the spoiler close (as it is what spoilers are supposed to do when we click on something in them.

Your Stats and infos: I know it's an objective to have 13 millions of people in your nations, if you want Duwamish to be a city-state, it's your right and it's a good idea since the size of the nation is small. On your region view, to show your objective (if I'm not wrong, it's your objective to have 13 m.), you should have develop more dense residential areas, but I can only see some spots of skyscrapers/downtowns like in Kalama and Dawson. The 13 millions is too much I think. 10 or 9 millions would be the limit higher and even that, it's very big and dense. Look at Singapore since it's the best example of a city-state: http://www.nationsonline.org/maps/singapore_map.jpg - http://www.lamarstone.com.sg/jpg/singapore-map.jpg
It's not all dense... There's some rural areas and forests and spaces... So should be Duwamish I guess: A beautiful city-state of like 6-7 millions inhabitants in a country self-sufficiency (since that's the dream of every nation), green and all.

What is good:
Nothing. Kidding
This part is comming soon, I need to go see the semi-finals of the Rogers Cup, cya!

Singapore only has 4.9 million. For 6-7 million, try Hong Kong, which isn't like Duwamish at all

Thanks for all your comments!

Julien: I guess I could downsize Duwamish to 6.3 million people...I'll have to edit the AIN Fact Book thing and AIN Wiki.

BTW, here's the anthem:

I think 13 million should be the predicted population by 2015/2020 or something and 6.3 million could be the current population.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking about...

Nice work with those GIF and video!

Thanks 976.

Is there any other admin that will vote and/or comment?

Also, Kevin, is that a yes vote?
