Your nations normal houses.

Postby Imperialist Reich » Fri Jul 31, 2009 1:52 pm

Does your country have a usual repeat of what the houses can be that dot your nation. What do they look like, are they fragile, etc.
A example for the UK is the terrace houses.

Also, could you please supply an image of your nations usual houses.
Here is mine.

The Imperialist Reich usually have square red brick houses that can sometimes be close together or sometimes split apart by small gardens. The stories of the houses are usually: ground, first and then second floors.
Here as a usual example.
Image

This house was pictured on the edge of the cities capitol. This is the usual common house that dots the country.

What is yours?
I hope I made my offer quite clear.

Most people live in the cities, therefore it's very, very crowded. Most people live in more modern versions of the below building:

There are houses, and suites, and what not. But not everyone can afford to live on one so most people settle for a tenement. They aren't horrible places to live (they have running water, heating and air conditioning, and a steady flow of electricity, etc.), they are just usually as crowded as the city below.

Due to large unbuilt pieces of land, the Farmers in Grittonia mostly live in Colonial-looking farms.
But the normal Grittonians live in skyscrapers or underground holes.

Since the Kingdom is a city-state with a population density of roughly 180,000/square mile, everyone lives in towering skyscrapers such as this residential building in the capital Taviarch:

Image

Or if you're a little more well off you probably live in a brownstone like this:

Image

If you're truly wealthy you'll live in a detached housing unit like this with a small garden patch and grassy area:

note: the skyscrapers in the picture are 7920 feet tall.

These huts, though primitive seeming are quite modern in their ways and possess all the amenities of the modern home. This style of home is most common in Olin and other northern islands. The typical home is one floor, plus a basement, and made up of 2-6 inter-connected huts.

Image
Note the beginnings of the Dogin Mountain Range in the background.

These homes are the most common in Tiesabre and make up about 65% of the homes in Tiesabre. Referred to as 'Swiss-style'. The 'tower' is quite popular and it is not uncommon to see two homes with their 'towers' connected. Though more impressive looking than the hut style homes, they generally cost little more than 5-12% more than hut style homes.

Most Zoingans live in dense cities, and usually live in terraced houses or townhomes....also because many Zoingans are afraid of heights, they usually are detracted from living in shiny silvery skyscrapers. However, there is a growing percentage of those living in condominiums and other high-rises due to an upswing in recent popularity.


Typical Rowhomes in downtown districts:

Many of the rural dwelling townships and communities have houses that average in this size (especially in Mainland Zoingo):

Join the Anti World Assembly

The AWA is dedicated to bringing down the World Assembly. Nations need the WA's permission to invading a region because only WA nations may invade!The WA is able to condemn non members but not vice versa. Members are forced to comply with the many unjust laws the WA imposes onto them. No one truely runs their own nation, you serve as a mere puppet of the WA unless you decide to do something about it! Others say it cant be done but why do so many try and stop us? The answer is simple, the WA can be brought down if enough nations band together and stand against it! The AWA is commited to uniteing all regions that are against the WA because a unified force will be unstopable! So join us and become part of the biggest thing that this game has ever seen!

Most middle to upper class citizens live in a house like this, or an apartment in the city.
Also some of the lower middle class live in farmhouses or ranches.
The lower class lives in nondescript brick or concrete apartment buildings.
Upper class live in mansions or on multiple floors of skyscrapers, obviously.

It really depends on your social standing in the nation.

Those who were high up in the Corporate ladder or just plain stinkin' rich lived in these houses.

Supreme Farley, and those who work for him, would live in the Cathedral of the Lord. The main political building of Sanctus-Terra since 1306. Of course, soon there will be a new political building because the Cathedral is eventually going to collapse.

It varies.

In the country, people tend to live with their entire extended family in large farmsteads:

In the cities, they tend to live in houses built around a common courtyard, in emulation of the rural lifestyle:

In Yannsborg, such houses can reach high:

Lower Middle, Upper Middle Class


Most Ostronopolians make a good bit of money compared to the rest of the world. The average person, which includes the lower middle, upper middle and working classes are however, highly educated and generally travels around the world a lot, excluding working class as they generally prefer to stay within the borders, so many do, while they can afford a house, own a condominium or rent an apartment so not to spend their money on a house they are not going to be in much. However, for the large part of the population which is not traveled, the average house looks like this:

Image

Upper Class, Top Class


Most 'rich' Ostronopolians live in sprawling complexes that dwarf the average person's living place. While the practical palaces, are generally vacant most of the time due to the rich being ones who run large companies and spent a lot of time in the office, the places are open to tours, which of course, are usually not free, but something interesting nonetheless.

Image

Lower Class, Homeless


Lower Class and the homeless are definitely the most unfortunate in Ostronopolis. While most are given no sympathy, due to the fact that they are usually the ones who don't bother with getting jobs, and were a drain on the welfare system before it was cut. But, generally these people are never Lower Class for more than a year, some as low as a day, because the class system in Ostronopolis is set up so that anyone can go up or down in society based on their own merits.

Image

The homeless are a different story, while they are relatively low in numbers, accounting for only about a half of a percent of the populous, the ones who are homeless are live either on the street, or in privately funded homeless shelters, which is most common, thanks to corporations such as Burger Knights funding projects.
