Tsalbarivo
Tsalbarivo is one of Madagascar's oldest and largest cities, located on the western coast. It is the result of the merging of Masoarivo and Barbtopia by Barbasmas and Westono. Since then, the town has seen huge growth in the form of new residents and buildings. Tsalograd, a new district, was also integrated into the town.
History
Early History
Westono landed on Madagascar and was warmly welcomed by its people. They helped him settle after he found a suitable spot on the western coast of the island, where he built a small wooden house that stands to this day. He had created the town Masoarivo.
Masoarivo's port was used during the Coffee Bay conflict, where Madagascar's men boated out to fight.
Early 2019, Masoarivo had seen steady growth and the development of new buildings. Among these are the Bisk Tower, a Tunnel to Mozambique, two bridges over a fertile valley. The sandstone bridge was created by Barbasmas before he settled in that valley.
Creation of Barbtopia
In March of 2019, Barbasmas set up Barbtopia, a suburb located next to Masoarivo in the river valley to the east. It was connected to Masoarivo by a number of roads. Both mayors were working together to build prosperous urban and suburban areas in the hopes of bringing life to the western side of Madagascar.
In a rapid pace, many new buildings popped up; the Jazz Bar Sonrietta, the Storage, The Sewers, The Khospital... One building that was cancelled however was the Casino "Grand" that was planned to be Barbtopia's main source of income. The mayor Barbasmas said this regarding the cancelling:
"Well I was sooper stoked on making it but building it was slow and I saw the Casino that opened in Tibet and thought 'crepes' in awe of something I'd never be able to surpass."
In April, both towns were merged to create one large town under the name of Barbsoarivo.
Creation of Tsalograd
Tsalograd was founded by IEatDookie in late April of 2019. It is situated just north of Barbtopia in the same valley. The district is the centre of Madagascar's Communist party, which can be seen by the architecture found here. The creation of this district led to another change in town name. Barbsoarivo was now known as Tsalbarivo.
Landmarks
- Bisk Tower IV: Bisk Tower IV is most likely the tallest skyscraper in Africa, and is located in the heart of Masoarivo. It started construction in late January 2018 and was completed soon after. It dominates Masoarivo's skyline.
- Fort Masoarivo: This fort is the second thing to be built in Masoarivo following the town house. It features a small watch tower and a small enclosed dock. This was the place Madagascar's warriors sailed out from on their way to Coffee Bay during the conflict.
- The Train Station: The second tallest building in Masoarivo is the train station which is found inside a skyscraper. The rail line from Astronautica and Sainte Marie connect to it, along with the rail from Marromeu. This station features Masoarivo's first bathroom! It will soon have a rooftop nightclub.
- Sonrietta Jazz Bar: located in central Barbtopia, it is under a corner brick building. It is equipped with restrooms, dressing counters, bar and a stage for stand-up comedy and jazz concerts.
- The Khospital: Madagascar's only hospital, ran by trustworthy doctor بربسمس, or "Dr. Barbasmas". بربسمس has cured both hiccups and AIDS, and is working for free. Notable for curing in a blast.
- Barbtopia Underground: is comprised of a system of tunnels constructed during the first half of the 20th century. Formerly used as a prison for drug addicts of the fertile valley, a great escape was made when the wall of Cell C breached and the prison was flooded with water from an underground river. There is also a sewage system that is largely unexplored, and the entrance to it is long forgotten, although recent reports suggest it's somewhere around Sonrietta..
- S1 - an old water well, partially collapsed in April 23 1947 under uncertain circumstances.
