Historical Background
Central Utopia as it is commonly referred to (sometimes incorrectly as "Utopia Central") was once simply known as Utopia (this is still the case however for naming the entire region) and is thought to be the birthplace of humanity on the continent. Progressing quickly from using primitive tools to developing the concept of a 'building' which are seen throughout the region today, Central Utopia survived the nightly onslaught of wildlings that caused havoc on the landscape and people. The first full building ever to be created was the Grand Library (built October 2010, recently renovated in 2012) which still stands today, remaining Grand in its style and amount of books that it holds.

Central Utopia has been at the forefront of progression for years, being the first to develop methods of transport such as rail (first used on the Metro system and now the more advanced INTERcity Rail Network), air travel and boats. The first sky scraper (the old World Trade Center buildings), the first and still biggest Stadium complex, shopping mall (although remains unfinished), the first intelligence unit (MI5) and so forth. Because of this history, various elements of its past can still be seen on the mainland, however other items have been shipped to the Rawrtony Museum.

Central Utopia has always had its aims set high in maintaining a Utopian lifestyle and way of government. It is for this reason that because of its ideal location, some land of Central Utopia is leased to other countries in the spirit of co-operation. It is also because of this location and neutrality, that Central Utopia is the location of the Utopian Councils and purpose built diplomatic complex.

Today, due to low taxes set on its people, Central Utopia has lacked investment to ever improve its high quality infrastructure. Because it is surrounded by both capitalist and communist nations, it has become impossible to trade without the use of currency. Central Utopia does however remain a powerful and forward thinking state with an unsurmountable amount of history.

Loved the Wikileaks reference...

On an Offical note it would be silly to guess that the Glorious Democratic Soviet Union of Satsuma and Domain do not recieve the best Embassy in the building, with the best view of Utopia... Am I right? [intimidate face]

Very nice Assange reference. He is still there I believe! Looks like a lovely building, what texture pack d'you recommend for it?

As High King of New Scotland, I would like to apply for a fabulous embassy suite.

Fabulous building there Lynx! Great work As President of Libran, I would like to apply for one of these embassy's - if we don't already have one of course

I recommend the default texture pack.

As for embassy requests, I will most likely be moving more people in today, requests have been prioritised although admittedly, presumptuous requests have been put further down the list.

The government of the Principality of Hesperia would like to humbly submit it' s application for an embassy space as well.

Thaeus · Posted Thu 24 Jan, 2013 12:12 AM

The Sovereign Nation of Prandium, with its status as a part of the Commonwealth, would like to submit its petition for consideration.

Dossier Updated.

The UBC is proud to be the first news organisation to report that Central Utopia research centre, has just discovered a new device, lost since the time of Utopia’s first colonisation from Earth many years ago.

The device is thought, based on scientific studies and experiments, to allow for faster-than-light travel to other star systems. Lead scientist for the project, Ed Stars, claims it might even allow for inter-galactic travel given time.

“There is no question in anyone’s mind at the research centre that today’s discovery is a herald to Utopia’s future and surely sparks a new era for the region.”

The technology, seen here at Rawrtony Manor, is in plentiful abundance on the Utopia continent.

It is understood that the Central Utopian district government, will be distributing the technology once it’s approved, to all member states of the Utopia Council. Scientists stated its properties as being creamishly-yellow, powdered and has a tendency to "get everywhere" one scientist said.

Speaker LynxMukka gave a press conference earlier today, lasting over an hour, in which it appeared the Speaker wished to place emphasis on the sharing of technology for the betterment of civilisation rather than hoarding supplies and technology in an effort to intimidate other independent states and exude exaggerated advancement.

It is unclear whether the Speaker’s Press Conference was aimed at any state in particular but CNN correspondents have stated there have been rumblings on Capitol Hill of increasing discontent with certain nations.

What an amazing accomplishment! I'm sure with time your scientists will be able to fuse two quantities of this substance together and develop the fastest possible speeds in space!

Time to start exploring other galaxies!

McClintock · Posted Fri 29 Aug, 2014 9:03 PM

This is certainly an upgrade from the horse-drawn wagons seen throughout the Sovereign Kingdom of New Scotland! We look forward to walking faster than it takes to light a torch.

Dodgers · Posted Sat 30 Aug, 2014 2:54 PM

Lynx, "Tadpolia" & the "Romulan Star Empire" don't exist anymore, might want to remove them from your member states list. And add Kularis to it, we have been a member state longer than either of 2 former nations have existed for

Apologies, let me know if anyone else needs adding.
