Puerto Marabella

Puerto Marabella , also nicknamed Isle of wonders or Old Baronetta is a modern designed world made by tzekoo with the help of Nick A. ( SWISS builder ) and Henry R. ( Luxury Villas builder ). It actually includes a few building but more features are upcomming. The 200 000 inhabitants of this city are called the Marabellians. 

It's a city built Ex Nihilo ( out of nothing ) in order to be one of the most attractive touristic destination and a large business center internationally known with many finance and corporation centers. The construction of the city began early in summer 2013 and the city should host about one million people by 2015, according to Jack Elklants, the actual mayor of the city, elected in 2013. the price of real estate is currently very reasonable (starting at € 2,000 per square meter), but the influx of individuals contributes to an irreversible increase that should bring the prices of the square meter to 3000€ very soon .

An ambitious project for some of the most ambitious builders of Eden, will it be good ? This is what we will see.

Jack Elklants :

" I trust my chief architects, I know what they are capable of and the result should be up to the expectations. "

Many artists are likely to be exposed here, but the building could also host some offices of the U.C.E. or even be the headquarters of the Eden Federation of Modern Architecture (EFMA).

This building is an echo to the great blue tower in Eden Elites' world, judging by the blue pixels everywhere. People can chill and relax on the top flor, shaded by the great ceiling cut so as to filter light, enjoying many events, cocktails or artistic conferences.

The Puerto Marabella Int. Airport

The airport was one of the first things to be built in new Puerto Marabella. It has been partially opened, but is still under construction. It is likely to be the new Hub for Swissfly Int. Airlines, whose Head office had been moved to Puerto Marabella in 2014. Because the airport was needed very soon the committee decided to build a not too big airport that can still be extended to more than the double of its size later,but if thats going to happen somewhen it is still unconfirmed. For the airport itself the newest technics and innovations are being used and no expense is being spared. The airport itself is still under construction and will be opened very soon. The costs involved add up to 1.3 Billion $ until now. Up to this date the airport features one runway, 1 Dock with 3 Gates (Gates 5-7) directly linked to it, 8 Gates (Gates 1-4,8-11) with a Bus connection to the Terminal, 3 cargo/extra Gates (Gates 12-14), a train and bus connection to the city and various shops and lounges. The airlines serving this airport currently are: Swissfly Int. Airlines (Hub), Direct Airlines, Tannenbaum Air (Christmas tree Air), Skyline, Swissfly Business (corporate jets).

Designs

The city is principally a modernist one, with mainly tall and cubic shapes.

The principal architect wanted to build a modern city, with soft shapes, to represent the activism of the new town. But it has also classic style designed buildings, like the Magnus residence ( large beige building ), which was inspired by Roman architecture, without being as rustic.

Although there are also classic designed buildings like the sanders manor, situated on the front of the beach, which is the most ancient part of the modern town.

The Puerto Marabella Football Club

The mayor and the Sports Delegate first thought of creating a new club on January 2013 but the idea didn't came up. A year after, the rich sports betting company BET7 finally injected about 250M € in order to create a new sportsclub for Marabella. With the help of Swissfly and the City Hall the PMFC was created on June 2014. Since February 2015, the club is playing in the Pro League one, its rival club is Direct City FC.

The Puerto Marabellan Defense Forces

Even though Puerto Marabella is a neutral zone it has a own private Army called Puerto Marabellian Defense Force (PMDF), as its main goal is the defense of the territory of Puerto Marabella, but it's also responsible for crisis management in nature disasters and other crisis situations.

Since the army is as young as the newly created state, brand new gear has been ordered by the Swissfly systems.

The PMDF can be splited in 3 different parts:

Puerto Marabellan Ground Forces (PMGF)

The PMGF is outfitted with state of the art systems, like the new Type 3 main battle tanks and the Type 9 Light transport

and support vehicles. Also the inventory of the Ground forces consist of resupply trucks, artillery and anti armor vehicles.

The main base of the ground forces is Fort Lemoine.

Due to Puerto Marabella being an Island all ground forces can be deployed by so called "landing boats" that can transport gear and soldiers over water and land them on a designated coast.

Puerto Marabellan Air Force (PMAF)

The goal of the Air Force in Puerto Marabella is to secure the sky over The territory of Puerto Marabella, but also to support the ground- and navy Forces in battle situations. Because of that also an aircraft carrier has been ordered to operate as a forward operating base in war situations. The fighter used by the PMAF is the F/A 18 supported by the newer and smaller Gripen NG. An A330MRTT for transport and an A340AWACS for surveilancee are also used. The Planes operate from the Puerto Marabellan Int. Airport and will from the future aircraft carrier.

Puerto Marabellan Navy (PMN)

Since Puerto Marabella is suroundedd by water the Navy is the main wing of the PMDF. The navy's inventory consists of 2 guided Missile Destroyers, one aircraft carrier that is still in development, some small coast guard interception boats and the WLC landing boats to land ground troops on coasts. The base harbor of the Navy is called Port Rhodes.

History

Early in 2013, The big cities Olympic Metropolis and Direct City are nearly full of inhabitants and the community needs to build another city, in a small village close to the edge of the two megalopolis, Marbella.

The flag of Puerto Marabella

It's a town with a rich history, and previously known for being a gathering town of high society. fact that the Sanders manor, in which lived Sir Sheffield Sanders, the greatest lord of the region, proofs well. In the early 1900's, the emperor of the time built his personnal library, now known as the Marabella National Library. The town knew a second rising in the 1960's, known as one of the biggest den of inquity in the country, because of its many illegal activities, and infrastructure such as casino or brothel. So much so that the town is nicknamed "Isle of wonders". That qualification contributed in a spectacular increase of tourist activity, and made it the 9th most visited city of the world.

In 1965, a masked man armed with a jigsaw sows trouble during a political meeting, killing 17 people including the mayor of the time. The police immediately organized research but the case was quickly abandoned due to the fact that several officers from the local police were corrupted by drug traffickers and criminals. The following year, the "jigsaw killer", on the same day that the previous year, backslides at a manifestation, and kills more than 30 people. He flees away and the police start chasing him through the city during more than a hour, before its trace is lost mysteriously in the middle of a forest. This episode led to a mass exodus, people trying to escape a third mischief. Right after the events, the buildings are dropped by the inhabitants and the city is left as a ghost town. During more than 40 years, nobody wants to settle in the town, fearing the jigsaw killer. A legend tells that he still hides in the forrest where he disappeared, waiting for inhabitants to come.

The project of rehabilitation of Puerto Marbella is presented to the mayors of the two cities in April 2013 and the construction begins in June 2013. The cost of the palmtrees avenue is estimated to 20 M $ and many companies has ordered several buildings in the center, and then, about 10k of labor has been mobilized for various projects. The goal to reach is to make another big city, attractant for tourists but also for active people who needs a good job and a stable situation. In July 2013 , Jack Elklants is elected as the first mayor of the city and shows his ambitiousness by announcing a project to build a immense airport and a railway station, which will be a center of communication between all the country. Since the achievement of the first building, many people left their house to find an accommodation in the center of this new city, there's about 200 000 inhabitants so far and still no trace of the jigsaw killer.

The Beach

Puerto Marbella is situated near the sea, and has a great access to the sea. The three beaches in Marabella are known to be some of the most beautiful with the Olympic Metropolis reef. It's a considerable asset in the development of tourism within the city. There are actually three beaches in Marabella : The Palmenstrand, best known for its easy access, just in front of the city. The Gafardela beach, at the southwest of the city, a little bit eccentric relative to the city. And the last one, the biggest : The Mandrovia beach. This beach runs along the south side of the airport and ends at the right of the Airstrip.
