Alexandria

Alexandria is a tier 3 city in the South Eastern hemisphere, created and still operated by Admin ~Ender. The City is a founding member of the Southern Union for Development. 

The city differentiates itself from other cities by being far away in the east of the map rather than close to other cities and by having an Hellenistic / Ancient Roman/Greco theme rather than most cities which tend to be modern.

The city also hosts the infamous Alexandria Jackals which won the 2021 HM Olympics in Ironball.

History

The start of a city in a desert far away.

Alexandria was created by Admin ~Ender in September 2020. For a long time the city didn’t sell plots as Endershack tried to work more on the city before selling plots.

Acquisition of Corinth

In June 2021 Alexandria acquired the overseas territory of Corinth with the intention of incorporating the city into the empire once Alexandria reaches tier 6. 

Alexandria opens its borders.

On 12 September 2021 Alexandria finally opened its doors and started selling plots in their market district along with townhouses.

Economy

Despite its financial district not being adjacent to it’s airport, which is usually where cities put their financial district, The city of Alexandria is relatively popular and has attracted investments from foreign companies like retailers Blockazon and Teslo. The city has a taxi connection going straight to the financial district. 

The city doesn’t have large plots nor does it allow for highrise which makes it a city not fit for megastores. Regardless, Alexandrian citizens can get their daily needs and a limited selection of building materials in the city. If you are planning on starting a company in Alexandria consider starting a business that tailors to Alexandria’s needs.

Alexandria does not have newbie apartments or the possibility for them, nor does it have any job facilities. Meaning any economic movement within the city comes purely from real estate and small retail.

Culture

Alexandria has a unique culture of its own by being a themed city rather than a modern city. 

This can be seen in the city’s distinct architecture but also in the city’s social hierarchy.
