[EEUSG] City of London

I must admit a weakness for microstates. Perhaps it is the appeal of the underdog: a state the size of a city block facing off against a hostile world. Maybe it is the interesting logistics of putting all of the apparatus of state in such a small area. I confess that part of my love affair is that I like the idea that I can explore an entire country in an afternoon. The next destination on my adventure is small, it is far from an underdog. Although known as the Square Mile - an apt name, given its total metropolitan area is 1.12 square miles - its colonial empire is significant, and its financial power unmatched in power. The City of London

Southron Popular Republic

I have been to the French Quarter in many timelines, but I have never seen one so modern. It is a double-edged sword - while the city does well to showcase the Southron Popular Republic’s success, much of the city’s historical Old World charm has been lost.

The highways, some dating back to before the Acquisition, were jam-packed with vehicles. From what I heard on the plane to Manila International Airport, these traffic jams can last the better part of the day. The fortunate motorists were on roads that only charged a toll upon entering; others charged by how much time a vehicle spent on the road, a situation that made only the share

[EEUSG] Second Polish Republic

Greenpoint, the northernmost suburb of Brooklyn, is visible from Manhattan across the water. It is now an upper-class neighborhood, its working class roots barely visible. The gleaming glass offices and community centers visible outside the windows of my rental car replaced the old lumberyards and iron works. Even now, Greenpoint is a neighborhood on the rise; my car passed by at least half a dozen new developments, promising more high-end condos and, in one case, a new mall. On my way to the Polish president’s residence, or “Brooklyn’s White House” as the locals referred to it, I saw just why this part of the city wa
