Arcology International Research Programme

[red_jon]

As some of you may know, The Federation of Redfern is experiencing some difficulties in terms of population densities within city limits and have been trying to look into viable solutions.

We would like to propose an international research programme for Arcologies, which we feel would better manage population in particularly crowded areas accross Apolyton, whilst making sure citizens are safe and comfortable.

Please vote yes, to make Apolyton a happier, healthier place.

Really, the research is already established. It's a feasible project. But no one has enough funds to create one. Perhaps with advances in engineering and architecture, they might become possible for the (un)common nation.

hmm sounds good. let me think about it.

These make excellent targets in a war and have huge problems with fire.

I urge you to have second thoughts.

War - Not an issue if they're sufficiently within your territory and protected. Enough anti-aircraft and missile defence, and you're fine.

Fire - The same could be said about skyscrapers. The fire problems can be sorted by the engineering groups involved in the project.

the Nooslandian representative has brought up some important points. In any other time, I'd say that the benefits outweigh the risks, however, in these dangerous worrisome times, I think that equipping my soldiers with new electronic equipment, and building laser AA defences comes first.

I must admit that these are very important projects, in the long term.

Those structures are too big and not very nice to see. They would ruin the look of our ancient\medieval and reinessance cities.

The risks of fire are already apparent in the vast majority of
Redfern's buildings - the largest tower in the Federation, the Red Ruby Tower holds 20,000 office workers and 10,000 residents at its peak.

looks cool, though Tea Kaygia is very large, and does not have problems with where to stick people

[Donegeal]

Ok, still kinda new to NationStates. How does voting for something like this effect the game/ my nation? Or is this just RP?

[GeneralTacticus]

It's all just RP. Everything on this forum is RP.

Imagine throwing a party in that building!
The Empire of Drunken Macaque approves.

[Mr. President]

Hell yeah.
