Term 7 - The North Province: The Foundation of Fanatika

The Flag of The North Province
9 stars represent the 9 (non-capital) cities of The North. Bavaria/Bohemia is represented by the inset Fanatikan flag. The field fades from white (representing the frozen tundra of the High North) to green (representing the bountiful grassland that spurred the growth of The North and much of Fanatika.

Slogan

Our fair province has a rich history. We supplied the frontiersmen and pioneers who settled most of native Fanatika. We are the production center that built much of Fanatika's defense as well as being a cultural mecca. What we don't have is a slogan. You know how NY is the "Empire State" and Florida is the "Mosquito's from Hell State"? We need a motto for North Province. Following are several rejected slogans. Any slogan suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

• ‘Nuff said.
• NP Rules!
• Who’s your daddy?
• If it ain’t North it’s beneath us.
• North Province. Boo yah!

Mayors

All current mayors of North Province cities are encouraged to retain their spots. Please just reply here that you intend to remain an active mayor. Many of our cities lack a mayoral hand and are crying out for local representation. Post in this thread or PM me if you would like to be a mayor for one of the vacant cities. Mayors may also take a vacant city as a second city. They would effectively be the mayor of that city as well but would need to give up the second position if it could be filled with a full time mayor. Mayors who never give feedback or suggestions are also subject to removal.

Mayors should give feedback (and flavor ) for their cities. Suggestions on tile usage, development and growth, build queue and city development are all welcomed and encouraged.

Flag

States and Provinces in RL have flags, why not us? The flag should carry representation of North's great history. Please post suggestions/samples.

Moving the Capital

Valhalla was the first city of the North and I am considering moving the gubernatorial offices there. Comments are welcome.

Naming the terrain

Continuing Cyc's lead, I'll be naming a couple more areas. I'm looking for names for two bodies of water: North of North Province is an icy sea. East of us is the start of a very large ocean. There's also a nice tundra forest, the tundra area itself and the peninsula that Denver resides on. Shoot me some suggestions!

If it ain’t North it’s beneath us.

A great motto...

Well, congrats Shaitan. I can already tell you're gonna have some fun in this office.

I will follow the Honorable Octavian X in congratulating you and welcoming you not to The North Province, of course, but to the provincial Government. You have played a major role in the development of this Province and I'm sure that role will not diminish in the future. I am honored to have you as our Governor.

With that I present the picture below as my sole recommendation for a terrain feature name. I believe this would be a suitable honor and tribute to the late RPG Leader. It also kind of has a ring to it. What do you think?

I welcome the new gov'nor Shaitan.
Congrats!

@Valhalla: good idea.always good to look to our roots.
@Sea of Shaitan: I like it

@Shaitan: Please allow space for build queue in the first post - I guess you just forgot to add it on starting the thread.

@Slogan: Just a wild swing at it: "The North Province - We built Fanatika" (could perhaps be considered provocative though....but I 'll toss it in anyway)

Paalikles
still mayor of Naerva, a cold culture beast

"Sea of Shaitan". Hmmm...rings a certain bell, doesn't it?

I like that slogan too. Something along those lines would be perfect. We really did build much of Fanatika.

We also need a new name for Riga. There's effectively no Russian culture left in our borders and the Northern Youth Society has petitioned to remove the foreign name. Any suggestions?

This will likely be my last post until Sunday. We're moving and I don't expect to have the ol' beastie up and running until then. So...here's some food for thought. City queue listings and provincial development graphic. All items are up for discussion, please comment as you will.

Also: City improvement summary has been added to the first post. When the build queue is set I'll add that to the first post as well (probably Sunday as noted above).

(cough) Coal Plant? (cough) Ok, sure, whatever the Governor feels is best...just checking in and confirming my retention of the Office of Mayor in Kuhkaff. Just as a side note, I would hate to see the Province Capital moved from our glorious city to any other. But if that is what you feel is best, then so be it. Good luck, Gov.

Governor Shaitan,

Congratulations on your governorship! It's good to see that your dedication to this province mirrors that of your predecessor. That said, I hope you won't consider it rude if I pop in from time to time to see how things are going.

I am requesting that you reconsider building the Coal Plant in Kuhkaff:

Keep in mind that by the time we build this, we will already be well on the way to Hoover Dam's completion. This will give you a Hydro Plant to achieve those same results. Plus, the Coal Plant and Hydro Plant are not cumulative --- you need one or the other.

Also, while the Marketplace won't be needed for happiness right now, we could still use the extra gpt it would provide.

Respectfully,

Donovan Zoi
Vice-President

I dunno - I think, for the time being, a coal plant is a good idea. Remember, our golden age ends soon, meaning techs will start coming in at a slower rate. It may be a good deal of time until electronics comes to play.

You may want to talk with Chieftess, Octavian. It has been all but established that once we get ToE(in three turns), we should use our free techs to get Atomic Theory and Electronics --- then use the Palace pre-build in Kyoto to finish Hoover Dam.

It seemed unanimous in discussion, but perhaps it should go to the polls.

I was just looking through some cities, and noticed that Kuhkaff is about to riot. It doesn't have a market, and could use one for the happen (It's complete in one turn, and a tile can be taken off just for that turn).

I'm back. Just got my shiny new 1.5 mbps connection online. Downloaded the last save and I'll try to analyze tonight & post in the morning. I'll check to see how much time between a plant completion and best time to Hoover to evaluate if it's worth it in the gap.

Will also check happiness - thanks for the spotlight, CT.

We'll have a couple days to iron out my proposal before the next chat (on Wednesday).

Governor Shaitan, will you be opening up the Senate Forum today? If not, when can we expect it?

Culture would like to request that the current build for Naerva be changed to a cathedral or for it to be moved higher up in the queue(position 2 or three would be nice). Thanks.

-plexus

I would like to be mayor of Jedina (never got t be mayor of that other city).

@Zarn - Welcome to the wonderful world of mayorhood! Please keep an eye on Jedina population use and tile improvement needs and make any recommendations/comments on building needs and queue managment.
