New Ulm
New Ulm is a city located in Eastern Panama, bordering New Graz and the Darien Gap. The city was founded on October 31st, 2018. The city was founded during the early days of Panama in a time of uncertainty with the new release of TN, however despite this was able to flourish. It was also the second town to be made in the region of Panama, and the first town on the Panama mainland.
History
Terra Nova
Pre-founding
The idea of New Ulm dated back to classic as a Resurrection of Ulm using modern architecture and in a more open space, while holding onto the legacy of Ulm. The idea was initially abandoned for Nunavut, and when TN was announced the idea of PWW. However, the idea to create a Panama Republic was fostered by Oretin and Paper and the two went on to establish a discord for Panama and the cities therein. There the first five cities were planned, Tortuga (later moved to Maracaibo), Lawyer Island, Panama City, New Graz, and New Ulm. On the release of Terra Nova, New Ulm was quickly made using Havanan gold.
First Week
The first week of TN was a vibrant one for the new town, with Panamans coming and going to setup their own cities. New Ulm as such became a trade hub very quickly, though no buildings were made at first. For the first few days extensive mining took place. Citizens of New Ulm also became famous for their political cartoons that heavily supported the PBC political party of Panama and the presidency of New Graz resident Oretin. After deliberation the Panama Canal was put under construction, with meteoric work completing the entire top half in a single day, of a 10x2 chunk canal. Internal deepening continued for far longer however to make the canal more pristine.
Continued Work
As November continued New Ulm saw further development, with the deepened canal taking a long time but making steady progress. The first skyscraper, New Ulm Tower, also began construction relatively quickly using sand imported from Tortuga.
Gucci Reign
Panama Established
When Panama was founded ig after enough gold was gathered, mayor paper had to leave the city in order to found Panama City and the nation itself. The city as such came under the rule of GucciGangsta. Gucci helped establish the turtle trade in Panama as it was under his reign that the first ever turtle reached Panama. He also pledged to return the town to paper once the Presidency was passed along in the next election.
Buildings
New Ulm has worked since it's infamous start of being a rather empty town, to now hosting a significant works project and construction of tall skyscrapers, with plans to create a truly modern city.
Panama Canal
The Panama Canal is under construction and is planned to be a world wonder featuring large ships, gates with bridges, and a statue of voiceoverpete. It is a national work project and the claims are shared between New Graz and New Ulm.
New Ulm Tower
New Ulm Tower is the first skyscraper under construction, and serves as a town hall for the nation. Despite being a skyscraper, the tower does not actually have floors that go upward, but rather has a complex system of underground floors that keep the wealth of the town through storage complexes, mob farms (as of now only sheep and parrots are kept in the tower), and other utilities. The tower also serves as a town spawn, with plans to put an information board to help new residents go around. The flawed design is the reason for a lack of upper floors, creating a sort of upside down tower.
Sans Tower
Sans tower is a planned skyscraper that will be located alongside the canal. Construction will likely begin when New Ulm Tower is finished.
Political Affiliation
PBC
The city of New Ulm is the political center of the PBC party of Panama. Because Panama is a Republic, it is relatively decentralized, with a multitude of parties located in different regions vying for different interests. The PBC party, also known as the Panama Blue Conservatives, is a constitutional conservative party that pledges to prevent excessive territorial expansion, make Panama extremely wealthy off of trade, and maintain a neutral status of the world. The party is the opposite of the NPP, and currently rules Panama under the presidency of Paper. New Ulm has been a significant center of this party, with the other city being New Graz.
