Well we're taking a break from the media barrage for an update on the town of Paxí on a small island in the far south of Maresa near the Andalusian sea border. I worked really hard on this relatively small town, so I hope you like it.
Although it is in prime location for a tourist mecca, Paxí has managed to retain it's small town charm through extremely restrictive zoning laws that essentially prohibit all new growth, which has kept the town true to the form of the town that have occupied these islands for as long as anyone can remember.
We start with a glimpse of Paxí pristine beaches, rarely traversed by the sandal-clad feet of tourists.

You can only wish you lived here, most of the towns residents wouldn't sell these homes for their lives.

The town center with the mission built in 1298 to convert the citizens of these islands to Christianity. Services are no longer held inside the building, and are instead held outside in the square until the parish can gather enough funds to build a new church.

Another square and the town football pitch, where citizens enjoy their favorite pastime, other than sitting on the beach and watching the sunset of course.

A winery just outside of town, with a villa building that was built in 1566. The land has been in use for wine making for longer than any other parcel of land in Insulo.

Now here's something I've never done before, but I think it turned out quite well. Mosaic!

Update Eight: Introduction to San Sebastian and More
This is a short update but with something else attached at the end. We're visiting a new locale, the city of San Sebastian in Maresa. It is on the bottom left of this map:
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
The Villate Manor was constructed as local merchant Hugo Villate's personal palace in the year 1734, and is now a public park and bed and breakfast. The site is a extremely popular location for weddings, and provides a leafy oasis in the middle of the urban jungle.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
The Playa Calmante completely surrounds the main city of San Sebastian. When the wall surrounding the city were constructed in 1971 to prevent the city from sliding down into the ocean there were many protests against the destruction of the beach. Faced with riots, the local government made an unusually friendly gesture for the time and compromised by building the walls back away from the water, preserving the beach below the walls. The beach is one of the major attractions of the city.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
The old town is another major attraction, filled to the brim with street vendors and quaint boutiques, this area has become extremely trendy lately, even though it was recently on the brink of abandonment during the Federation years because people could not afford to maintain the structures.

And now I have two large mosaics, they are wider than most forums will permit so I have provided links.

Recently Insulo bid to host the XIV Simlympiad, this is part of the reason it's been a while since I posted an update. To see all the bids and for more information on the Simlympics visit [url=http://www.simsports.darkbb.com]SimSports{/url]. The host will be selected later this month and the games will be held in June. I have some really good competition bidding, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
(You may have noticed I directly used some of the images from the bid in my update, sorry to do this but I lost the originals that)
Here is the full bid, it contains a number of pictures of places we haven't visited yet, so it's kind of a teaser.

About Insulo
Sobre Ensuña
Insulo is a country of many faces, from the snow-capped mountains of Bascla to the sun-baked beaches of Maresa. The nation covers nearly all of the Pontusian Peninsula and a number of islands in the Alcadean Sea. Below is a map of the Republic of Insulo showing all fifteen provinces and their capitals. Erikkson, the main host city, has been national capital of Insulo since January 1st, 2011.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
Insulo traces it's history as an organized state back to the year 113 BCE, when the Insola people conquered the various people of the Southern Hogara Peninsula and established the city of Insulo on a site located just outside the modern city of Nueva Valencia. The city's had a short life, shrinking from influence after a fire in 72 BCE, but the country it created went on to combine with the Puertian Federation to create the Insulonian Empire, one of the most powerful nations in the Alcadean. Current-Day Insulo traces it's beginning to the 1985 overthrow of the tyrannical Regime of the Insulonian Nationalist Party, replacing the Federation of Insulo with the Republic of Insulo. Since then the formerly repressed economy has burst into the 21st Century as the nation quickly modernized and the people looked to pave over the generic and reserved culture and architecture of the federation years. The building boom that ensued saw thousands of generic concrete blocks bulldozed to make way for the construction new glimmering ultra-modern cities. In contrast to the ultra-modern new construction, in the long neglected historic cities around the country a massive project to restore the areas to their former glory occurred. Today Insulonians take great pride in their country and it's vibrant culture, and under their beloved blue and white flag they hope to bring this enthusiasm to the world stage, and have started to show interest in hosting a number of international events, including of course this bid for the Simlympics.

Two of the three host cities are served by an International Airport. Erikkson International Airport serves Erikkson and Scio and is the largest and busiest airport in Insulo, with 144 gates.

Within all the cities there are highly modernized light rail networks, both above and below ground. The bid cities are all connected by the Insulonian Transit Helicopter System, and San Sebastian and Erikkson are connected with ferry lines.

Insulo traces it's history as an organized state back to the year 113 BCE, when the Insola people conquered the various people of the Southern Hogara Peninsula and established the city of Insulo on a site located just outside the modern city of Nueva Valencia. The city's had a short life, shrinking from influence after a fire in 72 BCE, but the country it created went on to combine with the Puertian Federation to create the Insulonian Empire, one of the most powerful nations in the Alcadean. Current-Day Insulo traces it's beginning to the 1985 overthrow of the tyrannical Regime of the Insulonian Nationalist Party, replacing the Federation of Insulo with the Republic of Insulo. Since then the formerly repressed economy has burst into the 21st Century as the nation quickly modernized and the people looked to pave over the generic and reserved culture and architecture of the federation years. The building boom that ensued saw thousands of generic concrete blocks bulldozed to make way for the construction new glimmering ultra-modern cities. In contrast to the ultra-modern new construction, in the long neglected historic cities around the country a massive project to restore the areas to their former glory occurred. Today Insulonians take great pride in their country and it's vibrant culture, and under their beloved blue and white flag they hope to bring this enthusiasm to the world stage, and have started to show interest in hosting a number of international events, including of course this bid for the Simlympics.

This is just a preview of a place we will be visiting soon, a place very different than what you have seen before. The place is the depressing city of Cxefurbo and it's equally depressing surroundings. The city, the former utopian pipe-dream of the Insulonian Nationalist Party, overthrown in 1985. The city now reeks of a past that people want to forget, which further leads to the dilapidation of the city as people flee the collapsing concrete blocks.

There should be a full update about this place next weekend, if not earlier.

Here's a map for your Reference:

Today we'll start with a mosaic from San Sebastian, just to set up the contrast:
[Only admins are allowed to see this link]
Now we move to a very different place, the former Capital of Insulo, Cxefurbo. Cxefurbo is a planned city, and the original phase build in 1947 after the Viboras Swamps were drained. The city was designed to be inexpensive and simplistic, the realization of the utopian dreams of the Insulonian National Party. In 1971, the outer levee broke, and now the swamps have reclaimed large tracts of the city.
Welcome to the Swamps:

So much concrete (mosaic):

Hope you liked this contrast to other parts of Insulo. I really do enjoy doing things that are different, being one dimensional is just so boring, and I want to like the game. It is after all a game, even if I use it more like a canvas.

Your beaches and urban areas is second-to-none, especially with the use of different heights and building sizes. It's very effective.
How you manage to go from pure resort paradises to grimy, dilapidated ruins is amazing, and I can only aspire to achieve the same level of diversity and flexibility that both yourself and Insulo manage.
One improvement I can suggest is to have individual maps for each area. When you showed the national map to point of San Sebastian, it took me a while to spot it. Maybe you could post a map at the beginning of these kind of updates just showing the cities featured today? So that people aren't confused.

It's been so long since I've done this. Sorry about that by the way, real life has been incredibly busy then we went on a cross-country road trip. I'm back now though, and have been working on a little side project call Jonesboro, an attempt to create a realistic American city, showcasing everything from it's Sunday best to it's dingy nightwear. Then after each picture I'll explain the influence on the picture from various American cities, mostly in the Midwest. I hope you enjoy this break from Insulo, it's been something I've wanted to do for a very long time, and now I have time. So, with no further ado, a little something to wet your whistle.

This particular picture, our unceremonious welcome to Jonesboro, is of the inner-city neighborhood known as Jonesboro. When I made this section of the city I tried to incorporate my experiences with low-class inner-city neighborhoods, and one depressing small town. The wide parkways were inspired by the Parkway system in my hometown, Kansas City. This is a minor parkway, nothing like a major parkway like The Paseo in Kansas City, and thus has fallen into disrepair, though pretty flowers have been proven to do very little to pierce through the crime and poverty anyway. The rest of the general dilapidation is inspired mostly by again the Northeast side of Kansas city, Missouri, and my recent travels through the North Side of St. Louis, Missouri, East St. Louis, Illinois, and Cairo, Illinois.
Well that's all you get for now, sorry! Hope you're looking forward to seeing more though.

It's always nice to see poverty in nations. We don't always have to see wonderful cities that resemble Utopia, just to like City Journals.
And welcome back, too.

Hello again everyone, this is the first real update in my side project, Jonesboro. I've tweaked the formula to have a lot less text, so without further ado:
The first Image is of Liberty Boulevard cutting through the heart of Edenderry. The wide parkway in this picture is based on the Parkways in Kansas City, Missouri. The rest of the scene is influenced primarily by urban areas in the states of Missouri and Illinois.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
Here we see some rowhouses in Edenberry. This area was influenced my many larger American cities with rowhouses, though most of the actual models used are typical of Baltimore.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
This image shows a wealthier are of Edenderry, Millionaire Row along Washing ton Avenue, which is the street seen horizontally. This is based rather specifically off of Millionaire Row in Cairo, Illinois, with some additional influence from areas in Kansas City.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
The next picture depicts another scene with rowhouses, as well as some small commercial, along Liberty Boulevard. This image has the same influences as the other picture of rowhouses
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
The last picture is of Thames Street crossing I-257 with the interchange built to give Edenderry better access to the freeway system. This is influenced by urban freeways in Kansas City and other cities in the Midwest.
[Only admins are allowed to see this image]
I hope you enjoyed this, I put a lot of work into it. Next update may be of Edenderry or another area of Jonesboro, or possibly even a jump back to Insulo. You'll have to wait to know, as I haven't made up my mind yet.

How you manage to make what would be nice-looking images look horrid is beyond me. It really is good though.
