Los Angeles: Difference between revisions

All of the cities of California grow while Los Angeles is becoming idle or dying slowly. With almost all members inactive and most of the active members leaving to settle in Phoenix, No_Jewtsu makes an attempt to grow it back up again. Las Vegas becomes the biggest city in California. No_Jewtsu quits temporarily and leaves the town to JPapper, making him the next president of CA.

Talks had been in place between Gawker, who had been Chancellor in the nation of California at the time, and the ruling Triumvirate to move the capital of California to Los Angeles from Lake Tahoe. Among the plethora of reasons that made this move imperative included the collapse of Lompoc, which was fairly centrally-located in terms of population between Northern and Southern California. [[Lake Tahoe]], on the other hand, was so distant from Los Angeles and the rising Southern Californian cities of San Diego and Coronado that it was tremendously difficult to traverse the nation in its entirety. Additionally, provisions were being made in Los Angeles to create a consolidated shopping district, which felt wasted unless people came to visit (it simply was not happening as a result of the first reason). After months of quietly working on Los Angeles' restructuring, longtime California leader SeedyCharacter privately announced his intent on retiring to Gawker. He also unveiled his new project to secede Lake Tahoe and Oakland from California in the form of a new nation, Rough and Ready. Acknowledging the potential uptick in relevance and business that would be brought to Los Angeles if it were to become capital of a "new" California, Gawker agreed to the plan and the two began toiling away for the 1,024 gold necessary to establish the "new" nation (Rough and Ready would be renamed from "old" California). Several weeks later, the plan was put into action and California was resurrected, with Los Angeles being the capital. Although Gawker believed that a change in government would greatly benefit the nation, the Triumvirate tentatively remained in power; still consisting of Lim_brick, Iceslash28, and Gawker. California also joined the American Order around this time. Simultaneous to L.A.'s newfound significance as capital, FoxAsh completed his Downtown Los Angeles project. DTLA was placed on a terraformed plateau, formerly a mountain. This move was seen as controversial from a handful of prominent developers, as terraforming is often looked down upon. However, damage to the mountainside was kept to a minimum, but was unavoidable due to the challenges of transferring Los Angeles' urban sprawl to EarthMC's much smaller scale. Los Angeles City Hall, the US Bank Tower, Aon Center, and a cathedral devoted to Los Angeles pioneer No_Jewtsu's Jewtsuism were mapped out as several key structures.  This phase is still ongoing as Downtown L.A. has yet to be finished.Photos[[File:2020-02-10_22.06.29_(1).png|thumb|650px|Downtown Los Angeles (DTLA), February 2020]]
