[Enn]

See, this is where Enn falls behind. We only have one city (Enn itself) though in a pinch you might be able to add the towns of Enn-Tul and Faren-land. Though there's almost nothing to them, they've been mostly abandoned.

This is a problem I sometimes have with my puppet Hamilton Ontario, a city-state of sorts. My RL city/RP city-state was forcibly amalgamated, but before that it had 6 constituent municipalities (I made them provinces) and many of those had "constitutent communities" (some which never had legal independence, but many which were mergered in earlier waves of municipal reorganisation).

Are there quarters or neighbourhoods, besides the two absorbed towns, which could twin? Your NSwiki article states that there were waves of immigration, so perhaps there is a Little Europe, New Mumbai or Thai Village out there which could twin semi-independently?

AntriumJun 9 2006, 07:07 AM Deioprajji Make - Possibly Devros (not environmental, industrial center)
Kimesa - Could fit Orlesk (agricultural, more conservative)
Leiris - Maybe a match for Marinik (seaside, major port)
Milhaη - Perhaps Anv?ln? (cultural, liberal, hospitable, friendly)
Pnema - Marnezjalis (minority center, multicultural, tourism industry)
Ωn-Baranxi? - Sivaris, for sure. (largest city, environment-friendly, capital, commercial center)

Of course, if you have better ideas, let me know [/quote]
Oh, I like your suggestiosn already. Will be wikified once I am... less lazy.


And Sober Though, I'd say:

Leiris Chapeauxdix
Misma Drewburgh

As for the others, I like the partnering (is that a verb?).
I only have to whip up some more city flags before the wikifying will start

OK good then

I will wikify all that for the cities I have wikied (Which is Sivaris EDIT: oh, and Marnezjalis)

I just added a Port Spitz article, with links to Fjord City and Kolashek

[Kelse]

I would be delighted to participate in the Sister Cities program! Currently though, i'll only put up Montr?al as a candidate, as it is the only Kelsian city with a wiki page.

Ville de Montr?al, or just simply Montr?al is the largest city of Kelse and the capital of the Montr?al r?gion, which encompasses Montr?al and its suburbs. Montr?al is also one of the six communes of Montr?al. It is a leading city in global cultural, and a major center of commerce in the IDU and is renowned for its defining neo-classical architecture mixed with eccentric modernism as well as its influence in fashion, the arts, and entertainment. World-class hotels and restaurants are found abound in the city, which is also host to an unrivaled nightlife scene.

Situated on the shore of the Golfe de Kel?ia in central Kelse, Kelse hosts a rich array of museums, galleries, and nightlife. Montr?al inside its administrative limits had an estimated mid-2011 population of almost 98,000,000, but since it's establishment the city has grown well beyond those boundaries.

Well, that's an obvious twin of Mont Royaume (which is modelled on French Montreal) in Sober Thought. Are the Westmount Rhodesians on the West Island separately incorporated? (Your Montreal article suggests there are arrondisements or similar divisions in the metropolitan area.) If so, they can twin with Kingsmount.

You've got your capital of Saintp[e?]-Monica deadlinked, but it's an obvious match to Ville de Hochelaga = Quebec City.

Similarly, redlinked Villeneuve might sensibly be paired with Longueoreille (which has no wiki and will get no wiki), representing the entire suburban South Shore in my RP.

Your un-wikied Ajaccio could be paired with my un-wikied Moineville = Moncton, N.-B. or even Saint-Visage-Osseux = St. Boniface/francophone Winninpeg. Neither is truly a port, but Ajaccio (with reference to the Corsican capital) suggests an estranged relationship, such as that enjoyed by franco Quebec and the dead French ducks hors Quebec.

[Kelse]

Montr?al and Mount Royaume are a PERFECT fit! Don't think it fits too well with Kingsmount, however...

Once Saint-Monica is wikied, it will be paired with Ville de Hochelaga. Hopefully I can get Villenueve and Ajaccio wikied - and as soon as they are, they two will be paired with Longueoreille and Moineville.

As for Kingsmount, it fits in well with Saint-Monica, and those two can be paired if you like...

[Antrium]

Montr?al could probably be sort of a fit for either Anv?ln or Sivaris, although neither of those cities come anywhere close to the size of Montr?al.

You mentioned a cultural town, with influence in fashion and the arts, which fits well with Anv?ln. Anv?ln also has a nightlife scene, since it is a university town.

If you want a more commercial, larger city, however, Sivaris would fit much better. Sivaris also has more museums.

Kind of depends which one is more important as to which one would be a better fit. And maybe neither of them are.

[Kelse]

I would have to pick Anv?ln, just because the typical Montr?al citizen would pick culture over commercialism, even if Montr?al is the largest commercial center in Kelse.

Sounds good.

If you accept, I'll wikify it

[Kelse]

Go for it !

I just added it to both wikis

Brig could work with Potato Island = [Charlottetown,] Prince Edward Island -- not cheese but agriculture nonetheless. Your delegations could always say hi to Anne of Green Gables if they visited the Chamber of Commerce. This is the smallest place I've got with its own article. [/quote]
Wow, that is a great article!

Yeah, if Potato Island is looking for a sister city, Brig would be a good match!

[Mikitivity]

I would like to suggest that we also create a NSWiki "IDU Sister City Program" page, that talks about the history of the sister cities, and then has a few lists:

IDU cities that are part of the program.
(IDU to IDU pairs would be listed twice .. but this would all be done in a table)

City Sister City

Brig, Mikitivity Potato Island, Sober Thought
.
.
.
Potato Island, Sober Thought Brig, Mikitivity

Non-IDU cities that are part of the program.
(Again, this would be duplicating info above, but would feature the non-IDU nation in the first slot, making it easier for nations to find themselves.)

[Antrium]

Good idea, Mik

I'll go make the tables. Someone else can write a history and whatever else needs to be added.

(EDIT: Done. If I left you off for some reason, add yourself back in. And take off the link if you know one of your cities will never be wikified.)

[Antrium]

I found a thread on the Jolt forums related to this:
Town twinning

[Mikitivity]

I'm trying to develop more cities, and I'd like to give IDU members first crack at them once I get something interesting up on Wikipedia. But I think we should consider participating in this program as well!

[Mikitivity]

I've updated the article!

I like it, good work

[Mikitivity]

And thanks to whomever cleaned up the table formatting!

The following village is also interested in joining the IDU Sister City Program

Ossendorf

[Baranxtu]

*Table Formattin' Spirit Fingers*

As for Ossendorf, geographically, La Trenche could be fitting... although there is quite some population discrepancy :lol:

[Mikitivity]

But both are mining communities, right? I think despite the population difference (which Mikitivity, being mountainous, tends to have small populations to begin with) that the two communities are an excellent match!

[Baranxtu]

Well, La Trenche was founded as a mining community... however, as more ande more mines have been depleted in the last decades, it has started to try other sources of income - mostly tourism.
Including tours through the old mines, of course.

[Antrium]

Hm...Ossendorf...

Well, I guess Sivaris was founded as a mining community, but like Baranxtu, there's a huge difference in population. And function, since Sivaris has also turned to tourism and commerce over mining. (The area had a small deposit of gold, but none has been found for over 30 years.) Geographically, they would be similar though.

Population wise, Marnezj?l?s would be the best bet, but it has nothing else in common, so it's pretty much out.

Geographically, Marime, Sivaris, Anv?ln, or Devros could work. Antrium is also very mountainous, so it's easy to match up in that respect.

Kind of so-so matches. You could make one work if you wanted to.

[Mikitivity]

The cities don't have to have a population in the 30,000 range, but they probably should still be under 100,000. I've always considered that Mikitivity has a low population density. It is too cold to make babies!!! unglasses:
