Join the new world

Hi guys,

The first week of our Fed Fun Zone - Eternity Edition GAME have passed.

I wanted to thank everyone who spared some of his/her time to leave a comment with a beautiful city, a curious fact about that city and one or more amazing pictures.


So at the end of the first week I have two special surprises for you:



I have made a compilation of every city, fun facts and pictures of that city, that you commented for the game, so you can all appreciate their beauty properly. This will be a tradition for the game. At the end of every week, right after I send you the comment cash I will publish a compilation of the previous week's cities.

I hope you would enjoy it!



Today I sent everyone, who left a comment(s), their 100cc/per comment as promised, but of course the Feds have a tradition of making quite the giveaways, so here's the second surprise:

I will grant 3 of the people who left comments the previous week, an additional cash rewar😛

1st - 5000 cc
2nd - 2000 cc
3rd - 1000 cc

- But how will the winners be selected?

Everyone will be able to vote down in the comment section.
You just have to writ the names of your candidates and the city they posted.

Example:
Citizen X - City X
Citizen Y - City Y
Citizen Z - City Z

Position 1 gives 3 points, position 2 - 2 points and position 3 - 1 point.

The players with the highest scores will receive the weekly prizes.



And DON'T FORGET - THE GAME continues, till there are players posting and the additional weekly city compilation and the additional cash prizes will be part of the game. EVERY WEEK!!!

So keep posting more beautiful cities for our >>>GAME




So, now lets move to the best part of the game, as far as I am concerned.









In order of appearance:


Feynmann - Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The approximate number of wooden poles that support Amsterdam’s buildings is estimated to be about 11 000 000. All of the structures in the city are supported by 15 to 20 meter long wood poles (except for the newer buildings - concrete) that sink through the mud and are fixed in a sandy layer that is 11 meters deep on average. A typical house has around 10 wooden poles keeping it out of the muck.






Niemand - Utrecht, The Netherlands


"The inhabitants are called Utrechters, but many say Utrechtenaren. Utrechtenaren are people that went to Utrecht centuries ago to have gay sex in the destroyed city dome. When they were caught doing that, the death penalty was brought to them. We also do not walk a lot in wooden shoes, but Utrecht has a wood mill."





Mister Y - Udine, Italy

"Little city in north east of Italy, between Austria and Slovenia, Udine was built in the Gothic Age (around 1200-1300). Today it's mostly a commerial city, cause it's in the route of north and east of Europe, and a student city after the construction of a big University.
In the city centre you can still see some buildins of the old Gothic Age

In 2013, cause a lucky mistake, "The Kiss" were in Udine."





Raidoh - Regensburg, Germany


Build between 1135 and 1146, the "Steinerne Brücke" in Regensburg is the oldest bridge in Germany.






Dio Hostilian - Belgrade, Serbia

Built around 8 to 10 thousand years ago by the Vinca-Starcevo culture. Has been rased and rebuilt million times in the history. The main artery of the city is "Bulevar Kralja Aleksandra" (ie. King Alexander's Boulevard). That same street has been the main artery of the city since the Roman times. Also, Roman emperor Iovianus was born there (not a terribly important guy, but still an Emperor).








shadowber - Madison, USA

Madison's origins begin in 1829, when former federal judge James Duane Doty purchased over a thousand acres (4 km²) of swamp and forest land on the isthmus between Lakes Mendota and Monona, with the intention of building a city in the Four Lakes region. He purchased 1,261 acres for $1,500. When the Wisconsin Territory was created in 1836 the territorial legislature convened in Belmont, Wisconsin. One of the legislature's tasks was to select a permanent location for the territory's capital. Doty lobbied aggressively for Madison as the new capital, offering buffalo robes to the freezing legislators and promising choice Madison lots at discount prices to undecided voters.

Named after president James Madison, It is the capital of Wisconsin and consistently ranks as one of the USA's best cities.





Gabrielz_Horn - Porangahau, New Zealand


Its a township close to the Pacific Ocean coast in the south-east of the North Island of New Zealand it is important in that it has a location within it that is listed in the Guinness book of world records as the longest place names in the world.

The hill that is listed in GBOWR name is calle😛
Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateaturipukakapikimaungahoronukupokaiwhenuakitanatahu








Simulare - San Diego, USA

Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale’s vagina.




Napoleon Tibi - Bucharest, Romania

Discover that it was under German Occupation between 1917-1918, and since 1459 it was always capital of Romania (in it's many forms).







Passos Coelho - Braga, Portugal


Founded 16 BC by the Roman (as Bracara Augusta) in the place where the Bracari Celtic tribe lived.
It was the capital of the Roman province of Gallaecia and after that the capital of the Germanic tribe, Suebi.

Called the Portuguese Rome for its many churchs, Braga's Archbishop is the still today the "Primate of Hispania", the first in the Iberian Peninsula.
Its called the city of the 3 sacred hills (Bom Jesus, Sameiro and Falperra)

PS: Of course Braga has the best football (soccer) club, Sporting Clube de Braga

Today one of the "youngest" cities in Europe with a vibrant university (Universidade do Minho).




Jimmy Cincinnati - Cinncinati, USA

Birthplace of Charles Manson.
First photo of a person was taken here.
Instrumental in developing many of the machining tools that are still being used around the world.




Petauriscle - Paris, France

Welcome to Paris, France !

Whatever you are looking for, you will find it here. The place to be !





Pony do Inferno - Cidreira, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

It's just a poor beach with cold water, good for fishing and known for it's shrimps... except it has some bizarre shrimp sculptures which remember that classical MAD comic, Spy vs Spy

See the shrimps in it's full glory









Dethicon - Birmingham, Alabama, USA


Alabama's largest city and home to one of America's greatest medical research Universities in UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham) and often Called the Pittsburgh of the South for it's Iron/steel production also home to one of the most Haunted places in the USA Sloss Furnace






Komeko - Manchester, UK

Manchester was an industrial city, because of this the population grew extremely quickly and led to the janky and narrow roads we now see. The city is a crowded mess, and because of the use of coal for such a long time, it's also a smoggy mess. The post industrial state of affairs lead to a special type of writing known as Northern Realism, forwarded by A Taste of Honey, by Shelagh Delaney. It was also the birthplace of the influential post punk band, The Smiths.






Comet Academy - Ljubljana, Slovenia


Ljubljana was the city I just visited, and I had really great time there. Although it is capital city(and also the biggest city) of Slovenia, the city is small and we can reach to the any place in the city with maximum 20 minutes walking. In the central part of city there are the main square where all the people gather. Nice pubs, restuarants, and cool stores are concentrated. There is also a beautiful lake running through the heart of Ljubljana. Boats are full of people around sunset time. On the bridges musicians play their instruments and sing, and other people dance to the rhythm.









chriscoded - Columbia, South Carolina

Colombia, due to it's location and foundation very early in it's lifetime, became crucial to South Carolina's development. State Legislature met there in 1790 before it was admitted as a village in 1805 and then later a city in 1854. The river it was built on the "fall line" of, the Congaree River was named after it's first inhabitants, the Congaree Indians.






Fanaxidiel - Dunkerque (Dunkirk), France


Due to its strategic location, Dunkerque is known not just for one but for two hystorical battles. The first took place in 1658, and the second in 1940. The strange fact is that, despite the city is located in France and faces the English Channel (La Manche), both battles saw french and english troops cooperate, in the old times vs. the spanish army, more recently vs. the german Wermacht. While in the first battle the french and english won, in the second they didn't really lose, since they could succesfully retreat all their soldiers even if the german forces were largely overwhelming. You can see a recent movie about this.






Maxwell Hanz - Sarasota, Florida, USA

The city is located at the southern end of the Tampa Bay Area, north of Fort Myers and Punta Gorda. Its current official limits include Sarasota Bay and several barrier islands between the bay and the Gulf of Mexico. The islands separating Sarasota Bay from the gulf near the city, known as keys, include Lido Key and Siesta Key, which are famous worldwide for the quality of their sandy beaches. I have been to those beaches and they are made out of a very fine quartz, giving the beach its signature white color. The sand is almost cold to the touch.






WhydoIbotherToo - Orlando, Florida, USA

Orlando, FL has the nickname The City Beautiful.
The Orlando area features 7 of the 10 most visited theme parks in North America (5 of the top 10 in the world), as well as the 4 most visited water parks in the U.S.[68] The Walt Disney World resort is the area's largest attraction with its many facets such as the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, and Disney Springs. SeaWorld Orlando is a large park that features numerous zoological displays and marine animals alongside an amusement park with roller coasters and water park. Universal Orlando, like Walt Disney World, is a multi-faceted resort comprising Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, and Universal CityWalk. SeaWorld Orlando also comprises more than one park, alongside Aquatica and Discovery Cove. Orlando attractions also appeal to many locals who want to enjoy themselves close to home.




Gabrielz_horn - Bloomington, Minnesota, USA


Home of The mall of America a giant mall that would rival any theme park they have there own website that lists all of the events and attractions. I hope i get to go there and see it one day.










Dinnyin - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA

The City of Brotherly Love! Apparently whoever named it that hasn't been there in several decades, because it is just about anything but.






shadowber - Damascus, Syria


And now for the actual (or at least claimed) oldest city in the world (continuous)....

Damascus (surprise surprise, not in europe)

Damascus was built in a strategic site on a plateau above sea level and about 80 km (50 mi) inland from the Mediterranean, sheltered by the Anti-Lebanon mountains, supplied with water by the Barada River, and at a crossroads between trade routes: the north-south route connecting Egypt with Asia Minor, and the east-west cross-desert route connecting Lebanon with the Euphrates river valley. The Anti-Lebanon mountains mark the border between Syria and Lebanon. The range has peaks of over 10,000 ft. and blocks precipitation from the Mediterranean sea, so that the region of Damascus is sometimes subject to droughts. However, in ancient times this was mitigated by the Barada River, which originates from mountain streams fed by melting snow. Damascus is surrounded by the Ghouta, irrigated farmland where many vegetables, cereals and fruits have been farmed since ancient times. Maps of Roman Syria indicate that the Barada river emptied into a lake of some size east of Damascus. Today it is called Bahira Atayba, the hesitant lake, because in years of severe drought it does not even exist.






Dj morosanul - Sibiu, Romania






AngeloDellaMorteTarokiu - Vicenza, Italy


Vicenza is a city in northeast of Italy. In Vicenza lived Andrea Palladio, who built lots of famous palaces like Teatro Olimpico, La Rotonda and Basilica Palladiana. One fifth of the Italian gold and jewelry is made in Vicenza. In Vicenza lived Federico Faggin, the co-inventor of microprocessor.
Fun fact: Vicenza is the only one Italian city with 2 gold medals at military value for the efforts made during the wars.










Marius CB - Timisoara, Romania


"the first city in mainland Europe illuminated by electric light."






Joshua Morriseau - Iqaluit, Nunavut, Canada


Iqaluit is Canada's smallest capital city with just under 8,000 people situated in the Arctic. On December 21st, the city receives just 4.19 hours of sunlight due to its northern location.






Exalted Druid - Vancouver, B.C. Canada.


Ocean, city, mountains. Words cannot express it. Only being there can.

Ranked the top city in North America for quality of life.






Phil harmony - Berlin, Germany

Located in northeastern Germany on the banks of the rivers Spree and Havel, it is the center of the Berlin-Brandenburg Metropolitan Region, which has roughly 6 million residents from more than 180 nations.
Berlin is a world city of culture, politics, media and science

Once, we had a wall, but Mexico didn't pay for it.









That's all for today, guys.
