Francograd. Jewel in Bobs' crown, the city the world revolves around has suffered.
From the grand imperial city it once was, the Armageddon War (also know as the Karma War) reaped its revenge upon the Imperial capital.


Scenes of devastation in the eastern industrial suburbs

Damage was widespread, and although no quarter of the city was spared, the worst damage occurred in the suburban and industrial areas of the city. The beautiful Old City and centre avoided the nuclear fires at least; thanks to a concentration of SDI and other defences from emanating from Fort Francograd.

Recent pictures of an Old City street scene.

Since these dark times the people of the Pacific have slowly got to their feet, they have slowly but surely repaired and rebuilt. The work is far from over but to use an over quoted saying 'You cannot kill an idea' and that idea is that Francograd should be a shining beacon to the whole of bob, a cultural, military and economic powerhouse of unrivalled power and size.

The main southwest-northeast axis, Franco Avenue still requires rebuilding work in places

The destruction has allowed the His Imperial Majesty Emperor Chuckles ™ the opportunity to renew and beautify old neighbourhoods and construct a grand new peripheral motorway; the Francobahn, which links the network fanning out from around the great city out into Franco's Spain, the largest landmass in the Pacifican Archipelago.

I present to you, people of Bob the latest draft of the Map of Francograd, recently finished and published. (I implore you to view it in its full size).


As a wonderful twin of the glorious Lady Pacifica:


A new memorial is built in the north west, on a promontory overlooking the city, the Armageddon War memorial stands as a testament to Pacifican Spirit.


A tourist guide to Francograd can still be found here: http://cybernations.wikia.com/wiki/Francograd

(I don't think i'm going to update the wiki, like most Wiki's it has descended into a rigid hell of forms, where pennants satisfy their love of bureaucracy. I also resent having my spelling Americanised).

- KingEsus, former cartographer and architect of Francograd.

Sweet, a section of Francograd is named after me. It should probably be spelled "Doppelton" though. Common mistake.

Did you misspell Dilber as "Dibler"?

[OOC:] Oh lol, my spelling sucks...

Dopple. Most of the NPO Founders / August Revolutionaries are named. Although I suppose this map is unofficial now, so I don't know whether you should be...

Any sections or locations named for Rebel Virginia, LJ Scott, Sir William, Tamerlane, Doitzel?.....you get the point.

I think "LJ Scott's Francoist Flag Factory" has a nice ring to it.
Or maybe "The Doitzel Center for International Writing"
How about the "Rebel Virginia Naval Institute for Sinking Battleships"

I'm here to help

I noticed a pretty big lack of yours truly.

Expect you to be visited by Political Police soon for a very pleasant lesson for learn how spell my name right.

Also, forward Pacifica!

Maybe because none of those people were founders or even Imperial Officers, not to mention they were mostly traitors. So no, I don't get your point, unless your point is to be exceedingly irritating, in which case I do get that's it's your MO.

Nice work KingEsus

Didn't before people just wear "costumes" of various other world leaders and not actually try to act, and that horrifically bad I didn't see a good act yet, as those leaders?

I think they just wear the costumes, I remember it,....This medium is barely readable as it is, currently, its just unreadable. How long does this thing last anyway?

While this is a great effort architect KingEsus, I do believe its time for somebody else to take up the mantle now.

Yep.

I blame Nintenderek.

You misspelled emperor in the bottom right hand corner. Also, Imperial Emperor Wikia Office is somewhat redundant.

My MO?!?

Fine, since you make it sound like you want more...Build:

"The Anthony Military Institute for Leadership Cooperation"
"The Admiral Sponge Center for Advanced Scientific Iceberg Study"
"King Zog's Hall of Senatorial Debate and Discussion"

I'm all for the Anthony one.

I just hope the section of town named after me is where all the strip clubs and brothels are.

I'd join this for sure

There is a statue of Electron Sponge

Best one so far.

I consulted with Stormsend and we agreed that 1 statue was not enough for a man of so many talents.

Maybe I'm just missing it, but is there no trotskysrevenge/moocows anything in Francograd? Seems a little odd to me considering he was your emperor for 2-3 ish years.

He's named the airport after him.


Also, I assume that "Letum point" is where all the male strip clubs are.

There's the Trotsky Airport.

I don't really understand why you would make this sort of thing when you are the former cartographer (and not even a member of the NPO any more), but it was very nice nonetheless.

Oh sweet, I really enjoyed that; thanks!

Could I make a recommendation though?

How about a monument to the Red Sphere as it was under the Moldavi/Revenge Doctrine? You were the last internationally recognized team controlling alliance and that deserves praise.

The other request I have is for the OoO to be represented; a statue of a red extended hand shaking a blue extended hand would look really nice, perhaps with it chipped and cracked a little bit to show the strain of time.

Just some unsolicited thoughts.. Well done!

What's the speed limit on the Francobahn?

Good luck to you sires with your rebuilding. My next visit to Francograd will be to admire the architecture, rather than blow it up like I used to.

or maybe a polar wars memorial of NAAC citizenry killed. it would be of a giant jackboot crushing an innocent penguin. or maybe a giant hand strangling a symolic representation of my alliance

You forgot Seerow, and most importantly Anthony. Also, a minor correction, but I don't really sink battleships. Mine usually get sunk, but when you put it that way I am sinking somebody's battleships. Thank God someone remembers that though. I hardly ever get the credit I deserve.

yes you do. none

Nice Map

AND YAY I can see where I am based at the GATO Embassy for NPO

Yes lots of rebuilding needs to be done and I am sure the capital will look fine once reconstruction is complete.

o/ NPO



And now for some tounge and cheek

Here is the same map but with the GATO Embassy (where I am based) highlighted - hope you don't minde



I wasnt sure whether to post my time as Ambassador to NPO durring the war here so Ill make separate page.

The Life of an Ambassador durring the Karma War - thanks to NPO and Karma can be found HERE

Why am I not represented?

"The Bilrow Strip" has a nice ring. I can glare at and condemn all of the IC sluts.

Didn't there used to be a Theatre named for me? Woe betide whoever bombed that.

no i think francesca set up shop there

Doitzel is an enemy of the Order. Doitzel has always been an enemy of the Order.



Standing statues of Electron Sponge to the contrary.

Didn't Mobius_1 destroy the Lady Pacifica statue?

Also, I think I may have accidentally hit the Doitzel Theater D:

I posted a second time on the first page for Anthony. Seerow I forgot though.

"The Seerow International Financial Affairs and ZI Foundation"

Kinda weaker than the rest but I'm tired.

Oh. My. You're back.



Your black cloaked figures can't touch me in hoopy land!


Well exactly. Nicely put. And thanks


I quite agree, and will gladly mail over the plans and files to a successor.


Yes, as established, my speelin is awful. Imperial Emperor is the username of the NPO officer in charge of the NPO's affairs on the Wiki (or at least was a fortnight ago).


Letum Point is a promontory overlooking the city. You are welcome to engage in 'dogging' if that's your cup of tea.


Because it seemed a shame to let it languish in the bottom of a trunk when it was so close to completion, i updated the previous version whilst a member, i just needed to add the labels and finish some roads.


Thanks! I'm glad you can see your embassy.





Pretty much. Sir Paul's Music Hall was once Doitzels' theatre. After his, erm, transgressions, we removed his presence. The same happened with ES, but he's gone so it seemed petty.

Thanks for the comments. Hope you enjoyed.

[OOC]This is halloween, not a imitation contest. So don't worry about it.[/OOC]

[ooc]I try hard to be an exception to the rule of terrible imitations.[/ooc]

and yet theres no memorial to our suffering. classic NPO tyranny

nice map. I like! Every alliance should do this

Bah. So Nekkie and sponge get to keep their stuff because they bolted? Knew I shoulda quit.

[ooc]At least you got something to begin with. My male strip bars were handed over to Letum before the paint even dried.[/ooc]

youre not very funny

You mean the alliance that freely decided to disband itself and has never reformed?

The immediate alliances that pop into my head that have accomplished that are FAN, Fark and the NPO; not NAAC, whom I remember as being extremely full of themselves but pretty good at war.

Besides, show me one perfect alliance that has never done something wrong in your opinion.

You should give Mussolandia a park or a nature reserve or something. I'm sure he'd hate it, which pretty much would make it all worthwhile.

The New Sith Order.

THE MUSHROOM KINGDOM

Speaking of Francobahn, do Pacificans drive Francos?

have you tried to breath w/o air? it's not very fun!

I'd rather the NAAC did go out like it did, not because I want it gone, but because an alliance like the NAAC wouldn't be the same if it surrendered after GWIII. It'd be like the rest of AEGIS, which turned out to pretty much suck for them for 2 years.

Of course not, that'd be silly. Bahn means 'way' or 'path'. Grade separated may be ubiquitous in todays modern Bob but are a significant achievement in engineering and expense terms. Therefore they are named after Franco. In the same way you could name a nations' railway 'Deutschebahn' if that nation happened to be called Deutsche (a silly name i quite agree) and they would not be riding 'Deutsches'. Silly.

Can't you all just admire the lovely highways interchanges and efficient metro network rather than squabble?

Oh I was just wondering!

we could have plled it off and still been awesome

That's true. The luster of the NAAC would have been stronger now, though imo, if they had continued to fight (I'm no expert) but I think that it had a strong corps of members who would have persevered. That's why I was so disappointed, of course, its easy for me to say since I was League-leaning but let myself be forced officially neutral back than. At the very least, I believe y'all would've eventually been admitted into TI. These are all what-if's though but I understand where the principles of the dissolution were coming from, it was a tough decision.

This would be a lovely addition. An attraction I would visit everytime I come to Francograd :>
