Iggy once asked me why my second cities fail on every planet. I don't know why, but now I proved him wrong
-Story: After spending some time with Sanra, I realized something, 4 out of my 6 cities are in dry areas! Well, that and I was turning into easy pickins for griefers
What was my immediate reaction? "Time for a change of scenery!" During then I was doing massive journeys to construct the world map, which at one point I had found what I had thought was another continent, full of mountains at the coast. Thinking it was probably too close to the edge to settle, nonetheless explore, I ignored it.
Turns out later on, I was wrong! Less than 1% of the land even goes past the edge, and better yet, this place is a gigantic island full of equally gigantic mountains! This place is a natural fortress, and one I'm proud to have under my command
-Climate: Mountainous and Cold, lots of snow and some rain. Expect water to freeze without proper covering. Crops can fail miserably if this is ignored.
-Plots: The island is so massive you almost don't need them. But, since so much of the area is steep Phoenix, Rose and I are clearing out areas we think are good for settling, AND follow my strict guidelines (Simply put: If it won't heavily disrupt the natural order of the mountain, I'll be fine with modifying the terrain.)
-Notable Features: Extremely remote, over 1500m from spawn with only one settlement within 1000m; Few access points to city, Lots of land, Temple of Light, Vampire lairs, Excess Food, Beacons!
-Admission: Alert and Aware. Due to a recent string of attacks, there's a nice trial period before you can join. During that, you need to do three things:
1. Be on the server long enough
2. Be awesome the whole time!
3. Also, do some awesome building!
Once you're admitted, I'll give you a week to build your own place there. If it looks like it's got potential (which isn't too difficult when dealing with me), not only does it stay, I might give you some free materials to finish it

Ideology: Daldokh Baldaza (Prospering Through All Ways) A system created by yours truly for his first story. Basically, I provide centralized services like roads, lighting, materials and food whether or not you like it, but won't use the privilege as a reason to stop you or a business from doing the same. It's like instead of mixing, Capitalism and Socialism coexist!
Rules:
1. Someone ticking you off? You can argue, but take the violence out in an arena. Thankfully I have plans for one in town
2. What good is downtown it doesn't look attractive? AKA: Your build better be approved before it goes there
3. I'm the high judge. Want a disputeresolved? Need evidence analyzed? Want a rule reviewed and passed? I'm your man
3b. If it's really necessary, I'll give you a trial by jury. Catch? Noone involved or related to you can be on it

Pictures!
1. The original downtown from late November!
2. Not long before everything went upward.
3. Part of the Great Upward Expansion.
4. Current City. I've since added a 3rd floor to what was once my 1-room house
