=== '''Land Use''' === | |||
Land in Tabarca is used for a variety of purposes and the town contains a number of public buildings, parks and homes for citizens to use and enjoy.[[File:Tabarca April 2024 labels.png|thumb|Land use in Tabarca|border|left|406x406px]] | |||
==== '''Residential''' ==== | |||
Residential Housing in Tabarca is located in two primary areas. An area of grassy land is set side along the Farms for residential plots which allow residents to build their own homes. Housing along the waterfront area, and further in land behind it provides the bulk of residential housing, with residential housing surrounding the Town Square being reserved for longer standing residents. | |||
==== '''Military''' ==== | |||
There are a handful of military buildings in Tabarca. Most notable among them is Tabarca castle, a castle designed by Consul Erwinnn Doria during their tenure as Doge. Additionally, the old border between Tabarca and Annaba is marked by Annaba Tower, a reconstruction of an old fortification that existed in Annaba prior to its annexation. Finally, Galite island hosts a fortress that juts out into the Mediterranean Sea and is the Northernmost point of the town. | |||
==== Commercial ==== | |||
The Tabarcan waterfront is home to several small stores that sell a small variety of essential items to residents. Additionally, Tabarca hosts the headquarters of a couple of organisations, the Tabarcan Sand Company and Tabarcan Brewing Company, that supply the Genoese national shop with sand products and Haste Potions respectively. | |||
==== Agricultural ==== | |||
Behind the Town Centre are the public farms, which allow residents to farm Wheat, Carrots and Potatoes. Within the centre of the farms is a private farm, held by the Tabarcan government, with a windmill in the centre. Within the windmill produce gathered from the private farms is collected and is often sold for gold or turned into food which is provided to new residents free of charge. | |||
The Tree farm is a privately held tree farm run by the Tabarcan government and provides wood to be given to new residents and to be used in building projects, as Tabarca is predominately built out of Dark Oak and Birch Wood. | |||
==== Government / Transportation ==== | |||
Alongside managing military buildings, the government holds a few other buildings in the town. The Metro station provides transport links to the rest of Genoa via the Genoese iceroads. The small boat dock allows for easy access to the ocean for residents and visitors, but the town does also have a small number of access ladders dotted along the sea wall to allow relatively easy access to the town in the event someone falls off of the edge. | |||

The town square hosts a fountain in the center, and is surrounded by buildings on all sides, with two archways allowing entry and exit. The buildings on the vertical rows host homes, some vacant and some occupied, as well as an enchantment room. All these buildings can be accessed from the town square or from its exterior. There are four larger buildings along the town square, all of which are accessible via doors in the archways. | The town square hosts a fountain in the center, and is surrounded by buildings on all sides, with two archways allowing entry and exit.

'''Metro Station''' | |||
The Metro Station sits in the centre of the developed core of Tabarca. It is connects Genoese North Africa to the rest of the Genoese Iceroad Network, and is the first or last stop in North Africa. Within the station complex is the station itself, which has water elevators to send travellers to and from ground level. It also has two larger houses along the front, that line the road opposite Sion Park and the Waterfront. At the back of the Station sits an empty patch of land that contains the Tabarcan Temple to the Sun God. | |||
