Wartime
Philadelphia was one of the epicenters of the war with the rogue secessionist state of USA. The town of Pennsylvania, now named South_Philly, had been created to claimblock Philadelphia in the weeks leading up to the American Civil War (see image below). A border wall was built just days before the signing of a treaty with USA.
The claimblock town was eventually bought after the signing of the Treaty of Philadelphia with the help of HibachiBeamz, and subsequently demolished, roads rebuilt, and redeveloped. It was also renamed to South_Philly, which still remains.
South Philly
After the purchase of the old Delawarian town, South_Philly underwent significant changes, including the complete redesign of the roads and public transportation system
