Established: ~250 BC

Canton: Liaki
City Mayor: Kornelius Ricardus

Overview

Liaki is first reffered to in 250 BC by an Ekke(a Nou tribe) traveler Mius, he shortly described the city as a newly founded, yet extremely well designed city that has potential to grow in the future. According to the Historical University of Liaki it was founded around 250 BC.(most likely in 248 BC.) by the Lia tribe which dominated the territories of modern-day United Cantons together with the Meo tribe. It was know as Liaberg until 1714.
As Liaki was located on the Li River estuary it quickly became an important trade hub. In 238 BC. the Lia tribe gained control of the Meo land through succession(after the Meo leader died without an heir the Meot tribe was inherited by the Lia tribe) and controlled about 80% of modern daySouth New Caledonia. Liaki became the capital of the United Noulands in 210 BC. when all Nou tribes were finally united under one banner, when the empire collapsed in 50 BC. Liaki became the capital of the most important Nou Kingdom,the Lia Kingdom. It was the capital of The Most Serene Republic of South New Caledonia from 438 to 1879 when the communist government moved the capital to Noumea to show the government's lack of respect towards Nou tradition. Finally, Liaki became the capital of the United Cantons of South New Caledonia on the 25th of May 2015 to commemorate the end of radical far-left/far-right rule and the beggining of a new era in Nou history.

Transportation

Liaki International Airport

The transportation system of Liaki significantly differs from the modern highway hub that is Noumea. Trams, Trolleys, Scooters, taxis and Bicycles are the only vehicles that can be seen on the roads of Liaki, making its' streets unique. Cars other than taxis are prohibited from entering Liaki.

Another unusual thing about the transportation system of Liaki is the "King Masselius' Funicular" which connects the Oceanic District with the Sunshine Hills district. The exchange students will arrive at The Liaki International Airport and will be able to use public transport in Liaki Canton free of charge if our city's bid wins. You can travel to the Canton's smaller cities by bus and by monorail to the larger cities. There is a High Speed Rail that goes from Neu Graz through Liaki to Noumea. The airport is conected to the city center by a tram and monorail line.

The city published a popular free smartphone app that lets you plan your journey through Liaki using public transport and can help you get to the important city landmarks.

Most of the time there is no need to wait longer than 2 minutes for your tram, 4 minutes for your trolley and 5 minutes for your monorail train. Students, elders (over 70 years old) and govrnment officials can use Liaki's transportation system free of charge.

Language and Culture

One of the streets in the Oceanic District

Nearly all of Liaki inhabitants speak Lia, Nou and English, other dialects of Nou such as Kisanbe can also be noticed in the city. Lia, the city's dominant language is a heavily slavic-influenced latin language with elements of Korean and German. Not suprisingly, Kasame dialect is spoken in the Little Kasama District(the southmost district of Liaki).

Liaki is the cultural hotspot of the United Cantons with several Lia Vocaloid concerts that attract milions of tourists from South New Caledonia and abroad being held every year. Vocaloid songs, Folk Metal/Rock and SNC Pop are the most popular kinds of music in Liaki.

Liaki is notorious for its' luxurious restaurants which do not serve typical Nou food, the city's rich culinary culture has developed so well because the city was the most important trade hub in South New Caledonia for thousands of years. Liaki's food is a mix between Nou culture and various other cultures. As a result it is the only region where people eat meat instead of fish, although everything is still traditionally served with rice. Just don't try to order pork, it was given to slaves before slavery was illegalized in 563 and is viewed as a tactless, barbarian dish. Lemonade is the Liaki Canton's culinary speciality since 1922 and is served with nearly every dish, or with wine/advocat tea in case you're not keen on lemonade.

The city is highly digitalized and basically any important information can be found on-line, people in Liaki are always in a hurry and simply cannot live without watches. If you like living an active life without boredom Liaki is a city for you.

Geography

The city is located on the Li River estuary, mountains surround it from the east and the south. In the west is the Oceanic district which is located by the bay of Liaki, east of it is the Sunshine hills district and south of it is the City Center. There is an old, post-communist road that goes right through the Oceanic district, it is the Federal Expressway No.4 it was built in 1933 to connect all of the cities that are located on the coastline, it is a beautiful, scenic road. Neu Graz is located north of Liaki and Noumea is located south of it, if you decide to travel to one of these big cities by car you can either use that road or the modern Federal Highway No.1, although traveling by rail is much faster.

School

The Riverside Apartment Complex

Exchange students will be attending the Michaelus Qiu Seeus Academy, the second most prestigious high school in South New Caledonia. It was built in 1846 at the orders of Serene Doge Kornelius Machabeus to educate the rich patrician children of the Republic. It accepted both men and women since its' founding and was closed during the Communist government's rule. The academy was reactivated by Akane Takeda, the infamous ultra nationalist that ended the communist rule.

The students have a big variety of additional subjects to chose from(42), including the academy's specialities: Chemistry, Geopolitics, Lia Language. They must pick at least 20 of them + three compulsory subjects: Nou Language and Literature, Engish and math.

The Riverside Apartament Complex, in which the students will be accomodated offers small, yet extremely efficient and practical rooms. It can be accessed by the Trolley line number 42, Bus line number 132 and Water Tram line number 3. The complex has a garage space in case one of the students decides to buy a scooter or a bike, it takes roughly 17 minutes to get to the city center from the apartments the fastes way(water tram) and 4 minutes to get to the Academy(trolley). Modern computers with free of charge internet access(both wi-fi and cable plugged) and free of charge access to the Nou National Television(12 channels) are provided at the courtesy of Liaki Digital Enterprise(LDE).

All of the students will receive a scholarship of 300 ℭ a month(in cash) and will be able to gain more scholarships by winning various national competitions. Students are permitted to bring an unlimited amount of money from their own country, we highly recommend bringing money as food prices in The United Cantons may suprise you.

Free uniforms that all students must wear during lessons will be provided for free, they are extremely stylish and were designed by "Lia's Apparel", a company based in Liaki.

Uniform for Women

Uniform for Men

Students are encouraged to join one of our Academy's teams that represent the Michaelus Qiu Seeus Academy at various national competitions: The Chess Team, the Football team, The Historical Team and the Pigeonball Squad.

Entertainment, Shopping and Nightlife

Lia Vocaloid represents Liaki Canton

Are you a fan of Lia Vocaloids?
Proably not as they're not popular outside the United Cantons, although I bet that if you go to one of the Vocaloid concerts in Liaki you'll fall in love with them. You can see a small concert in the Lia Concert Hall in the Sunshine Hills District every evening and a bigger concert a few times a year- usually to commemorate an important historical event. The mot popular South New Caledonian Vocaloids are: Lia, Meo, Kisa and Negua, they are named after various Cantons of South New Caledonian and each one of them is a patron of one of a Canton. They basically are animated characters that are displayed at a special scene in 3d, their pitch is abnormally high and they sing really fast. Nevertheless, they are extremely popular especially among Nou teenagers.

If you like latest technological gadgets you must visit the Liaki Technological Mall, you can buy South New Caledonian phones, tablets and other gadgets that have not yet been exported to any other country there. Liaki is the center of the world IT production and it has the potential to amaze every technology lover.

If you are not so much keen on technology though, visit the Liaki Fashion Gallery in the Oceanic District. You can look fabulous with the latest Nou fashion pieces and look like a true Nou.

You are also able to visit the Nou Air Force Museum, the Nou Military Museum, the Nou Car Museum or the Great Nou Library if you preffer silence and a bit of history. If you like long walks, take the water tram north to Ammenberg and walk around the Liaki Forest Reserve or go to the old city and take look at traditional Nou architecture while sipping lemonade.

Another place that you most likely would like to visit is the Sasandu District, the fincancial district of Liaki. It was designated to be the only part of South New Caledonia foreign sailors may visit in 547 AD., it was the only center of trade for about 600 years. It was famously nick-named The Red Jewel in the Turquoise Crown by Serene Doge Maccientus von Claudus as it was the only part of South New Caledonia that has totally westernized(and is to this day). Western customs and language ousted the Nou culture almost entirely leaving a small western district in an isolationist and traditionalist country. The western influence spread to Noumea in the beggining of the 21st century, whilst Liaki maintains its' unique multicultural tradition. Remains of the medival port district for foreigners and the Nou fortress are surrounded by modern skyscrapers that contain corporate offices and call centres. It is located at the end of the Liaki Monorail and on the Federal Expressway No.1.

You won't be able to find any night clubs or strip clubs though, the closest ones are located in the economic capital, Noumea. You wouldn't be allowed in them anyway as only adults(over 20 years old) can access them.

Federal Expressway No.1 (Noumea - Liaki - Neu Kisanben - Neu Graz)

Healthcare, Insurances and Banking
South New Caledonia maintains a network of publicly owned hospitals and subsidizes private clinics which take care of less severe illnesses. In case an exchange student must be hospitalized we highly recommend having a health insurance as treatment costs will have to be covered privately. Insucrances are not expansive in The United Cantons, therefore The Ministry of Tourism & Promotion highly encourages all tourists to insure themselves in South New Caledonia if they forgot to do so in their country. South New Caledonian Insurances can be bought by foreigners in the Sasandu District, the financial part of the city located south-west to Liaki. The Sasandu district is connected to Liaki's monorail network, it can also be accessed using the Federal Expressway No.1.

The three biggest bank in the United Cantons are: Nou Bankus, Liakska Banka and Savebanka. Students are highly encouraged to tranfer their money to a South New Caledonian credit card as foreign credit cards are additionally taxed(4% more). Whilst payment by cash may not be accepted in some stores, all stores are required to accept credit card payment by law.

Essentials for Exchange Students in Liaki and forbidden objects

• An active passport and a "V" category visa that can be obtained in any South New Caledonian embassy
• Money to cover additional living expenses, whilst 600 NSD that the government supplies you every month may seem enough, it is not due to the arid plow in South New Caledonia(all of the food has to be imported from abroad)
• Camera, South New Caledonia is a beautiful country tha you most likely want to have photos of
• Clothes or more money, fashionable clothes that help you blend into the environment can be bought in Liaki at low prices, although you can bring your own clothes
• Please bring a Smartphone, it is essential to using the complicated public transportation system
• Don't bring any narcotics
• You are able to bring a gun, although it is pointless as hunting is illegal and the Volunteer Militia patrols the streets for any criminals(Due to the recent statement published by the IESP, students aren't allowed to bring guns with them. If they decide to do so, their weapons will be confiscated by the airport seurity and given back before the departure flight)

OMG I didnt't read your whole message yet but looking at the pictures it looks totally great !! I am sure Yan would feel great making his exchange there !!
He doesn't want to live in a big urban city as far as Arstravia cities are pretty old and medieval-shaped, so I think your capital city would fit perfectly well !

Edit : but the problem is Yan does not speak English:/
Btw your school uniforms are awesome if you see what I mean

Thank You! ^.^
I'm glad we have so many cities to chose from, to be honest all of them are good

[Quensatango]

All these bids are quite inspiring...

[South New Caledonia]

Edit : but the problem is Yan does not speak English:/
Btw your school uniforms are awesome if you see what I mean

1.Well, in case my city wins we will teach all of the students how to speak Lia. Once you learn the vocabulary it is extremely easy, therefore I don't think that teaching anyone Lia is going to be hard. Most of the teachers also know Polish, Korean and German if that makes a diffrence.
2.Awww... It is the kawaii Nou fashion!

I'm currently reading other host bids and I must admit that I like all of them.

Same thing with Krjístaena, pretty much everyone will have have to take a basic Insaeldic Language class and will most likely be taught in English to make it easy since most everyone seems to atleast have a basic grasp of English. Although if you need special assistance given a language barrier will be more then willing to assist said person.

I must say everyone has far better uniforms then I do but I'm pretty sure mine are the most realistic of the bunch

Aaww I got it now, so only ONE city will be available for ALL the students, is that it ? I thought that everyone could choose where he wanted his students to go among all the cities which were presented, sorry I misunderstood.

So what is the deadline if I want my country to apply ? Because this week is going to be a little busy for me and I was thinking about posting it this week-end :/


edit : about the uniforms, I really like the ones you've got in the animes, they are awesome indeed
but I am thinking about something really badass with capes and jackets for my school uniforms, that may make think about witchers clothes.

Flag of The Liaki Canton

Liaki

Established: ~250 BC
Size: 1 253 500 (January 2015 census)
Canton: Liaki
City Mayor: Kornelius Ricardus

Overview

Liaki is first reffered to in 250 BC by an Ekke traveler Mius, he shortly described the city as a newly founded, yet extremely well designed city that has potential to grow in the future. According to the Historical University of Liaki it was founded around 250 BC.(most likely in 248 BC.) by the Lia tribe which dominated the territories of modern-day United Cantons together with the Meo tribe. It was know as Liaberg until 1714.
As Liaki was located on the Li River estuary it quickly became an important trade hub. In 238 BC. the Lia tribe gained control of the Meo land through succession and controlled 80% of South New Caledonia. Liaki became the capital of the United Noulands in 210 BC. when all Nou tribes were finally united under one banner, when the empire collapsed in 50 BC. Liaki became the capital of the most important Nou Kingdom,the Lia Kingdom. It was the capital of The Most Serene Republic of South New Caledonia from 438 to 1879 when the communist government moved the capital to Noumea to show the government's lack of respect towards Nou tradition. Finally, Liaki became the capital of the United Cantons of South New Caledonia on the 25th of May 2015 to commemorate the end of radical far-left/far-right rule and the beggining of a new era in Nou history.

Transportation

Liaki International Airport

The transportation system of Liaki significantly differs from the modern highway hub that is Noumea. Trams, Trolleys, Scooters, taxis and Bicycles are the only vehicles that can be seen on the roads of Liaki, making its' streets unique. Cars other than taxis are prohibited from entering Liaki.

Another unusual thing about the transportation system of Liaki is the "King Masselius' Funicular" which connects the Oceanic District with the Sunshine Hills district. The exchange students will arrive at The Liaki International Airport and will be able to use public transport in Liaki Canton free of charge if our city's bid wins. You can travel to the Canton's smaller cities by bus and by monorail to the larger cities. There is a High Speed Rail that goes from Neu Graz through Liaki to Noumea. The airport is conected to the city center by a tram and monorail line.

The city published a popular free smartphone app that lets you plan your journey through Liaki using public transport and can help you get to the important city landmarks.

Most of the time there is no need to wait longer than 2 minutes for your tram, 4 minutes for your trolley and 5 minutes for your monorail train. Students, elders (over 70 years old) and govrnment officials can use Liaki's transportation system free of charge.

Language and Culture

(Image)
One of the streets in the Oceanic District

Nearly all of Liaki inhabitants speak Lia, Nou and English, other dialects of Nou such as Kisanbe can also be noticed in the city. Lia, the city's dominant language is a heavily slavic-influenced latin language with elements of Korean and German. Not suprisingly, Kasame dialect is spoken in the Little Kasama District(the southmost district of Liaki).

Liaki is the cultural hotspot of the United Cantons with several Lia Vocaloid concerts that attract milions of tourists from South New Caledonia and abroad being held every year. Vocaloid songs, Folk Metal/Rock and SNC Pop are the most popular kinds of music in Liaki.

Liaki is notorious for its' luxurious restaurants which do not serve typical Nou food, the city's rich culinary culture has developed so well because the city was the most important trade hub in South New Caledonia for thousands of years. Liaki's food is a mix between Nou culture and various other cultures. As a result it is the only region where people eat meat instead of fish, although everything is still traditionally served with rice. Just don't try to order pork, it was given to slaves before slavery was illegalized in 563 and is viewed as a tactless, barbarian dish. Lemonade is the Liaki Canton's culinary speciality since 1922 and is served with nearly every dish, or with wine/advocat tea in case you're not keen on lemonade.

The city is highly digitalized and basically any important information can be found on-line, people in Liaki are always in a hurry and simply cannot live without watches. If you like living an active life without boredom Liaki is a city for you.

Geography

The city is located on the Li River estuary, mountains surround it from the east and the south. In the west is the Oceanic district which is located by the bay of Liaki, east of it is the Sunshine hills district and south of it is the City Center. There is an old, post-communist road that goes right through the Oceanic district, it is the Federal Expressway No.4 it was built in 1933 to connect all of the cities that are located on the coastline, it is a beautiful, scenic road. Neu Graz is located north of Liaki and Noumea is located south of it, if you decide to travel to one of these big cities by car you can either use that road or the modern Federal Highway No.1, although traveling by rail is much faster.

Exchange students will be attending the Michaelus Qiu Seeus Academy, the second most prestigious high school in South New Caledonia. It was built in 1846 at the orders of Serene Doge Kornelius Machabeus to educate the rich patrician children of the Republic. It accepted both men and women since its' founding and was closed during the Communist government's rule. The academy was reactivated by Akane Takeda, the infamous ultra nationalist that ended the communist rule.

The students have a big variety of additional subjects to chose from(42), including the academy's specialities: Chemistry, Geopolitics, Lia Language. They must pick at least 20 of them + three compulsory subjects: Nou Language and Literature, Engish and math.

The Riverside Apartament Complex, in which the students will be accomodated offers small, yet extremely efficient and practical rooms. It can be accessed by the Trolley line number 42, Bus line number 132 and Water Tram line number 3. The complex has a garage space in case one of the students decides to buy a scooter or a bike, it takes roughly 17 minutes to get to the city center from the apartments the fastes way(water tram) and 4 minutes to get to the Academy(trolley).

Entertainment, Shopping and Nightlife

Lia Vocaloid represents Liaki Canton

Are you a fan of Lia Vocaloids?
Proably not as they're not popular outside the United Cantons, although I bet that if you go to one of the Vocaloid concerts in Liaki you'll fall in love with them. You can see a small concert in the Lia Concert Hall in the Sunshine Hills District every evening and a bigger concert a few times a year- usually to commemorate an important historical event. The mot popular South New Caledonian Vocaloids are: Lia, Meo, Kisa and Negua, they are named after various Cantons of South New Caledonian and each one of them is a patron of one of a Canton. They basically are animated characters that are displayed at a special scene in 3d, their pitch is abnormally high and they sing really fast. Nevertheless, they are extremely popular especially among Nou teenagers.

If you like latest technological gadgets you must visit the Liaki Technological Mall, you can buy South New Caledonian phones, tablets and other gadgets that have not yet been exported to any other country there. Liaki is the center of the world IT production and it has the potential to amaze every technology lover.

If you are not so much keen on technology though, visit the Liaki Fashion Gallery in the Oceanic District. You can look fabulous with the latest Nou fashion pieces and look like a true Nou.

You are also able to visit the Nou Air Force Museum, the Nou Military Museum, the Nou Car Museum or the Great Nou Library if you preffer silence and a bit of history. If you like long walks, take the water tram north to Ammenberg and walk around the Liaki Forest Reserve or go to the old city and take look at traditional Nou architecture while sipping lemonade.

You won't be able to find any night clubs or strip clubs though, the closest ones are located in the economic capital, Noumea. You wouldn't be allowed in them anyway as only adults(over 20 years old) can access them.

Essentials for Exchange Students in Liaki and forbidden objects

• An active passport and visa
• Money to cover additional living expenses, whilst 600 NSD that the government supplies you every month may seem enough, it is not due to the arid plow in South New Caledonia(all of the food has to be imported from abroad)
• Camera, South New Caledonia is a beautiful country tha you most likely want to have photos of
• Clothes or more money, fashionable clothes that help you blend into the environment can be bought in Liaki at low prices, although you can bring your own clothes
• Please bring a Smartphone, it is essential to using the complicated public transportation system
• Don't bring any narcotics
• You are able to bring a gun, although it is pointless as hunting is illegal and the Volunteer Militia patrols the streets for any criminals

Overview

The city of Kairaku can be traced back to Flardania's feudal period. It was originally a fortress set up by future Emperor, Hisahito Ransugawa, the bastard son of Emperor Suzaku. He escaped being killed by the emperor when guided up north by the Goddess Ilias. He named the fortress as Kairaku originally for the ironic statement seeing that his life was currently anything but pleasurable.

Years later after being an actual city under now Emperor Hisahito was well positioned. The city, having the Pacific to the west, Mt. Ilber/holy forest to the north and situated on the Kohaku river meant great opportunity for trade and defense from neighboring city-states. It had enough successful trade where Kairaku was able to trade with Japan, Korea, and China. Arts, foods, science, weapons, and even natives of Korea and Japan begun to settle down in Kairaku and eventually other parts of Zipangu.

Kairaku used to be the third largest city after the capital Megalo Mesembria and La Rousse but post treaty of San Fransisco has had a special appeal and feel to it although some envious neighbors would claim that it was because it was never bombed in the second great war.

A minority of citizens can speak languages such as Korean, Mandarin and Vietnamese. Certain districts, such as Doitsu-mura (German Village), speak Deutsch. Other ethnic districts follow the same.

Flardanians value respect, equality, and diversity like the nations motto. Flardanians also have a unique view own morals due to the state religion being the Lake Shore Order (LSO). Because of the state religion people can be annoyed at you for racism, homophobia, disrespect for the poor and elderly. If a Flardanian ever curses out a foreign it's properly because you messed up.

If denied the couple can receive a civil union and still receive benefits just not the tittle married. Citizens tend to be very centrist on all social issue often times taking the centrist views of the church (LSO).
