Post #361
There's not much in Brotopia that has names. It's mostly labels and numbers.
There are some notable exceptions.
The stretch between Sector Two and Sector Seven is called Boundary Street.
The square in front of the Iron Fist used to be called Sector One Square. When the Glorious Leader's statue was erected it was renamed Glorious Leader Square.
The haphazardly built slum area in Sector Seven is called Junk Town, although that's more of a common nickname than official naming.
And of course, the Iron Fist and the Leadership Tower.

I'm wondering how long it will take Brotopia to conquer hell itself?
I bet, upon discovery of a vessel to allow one to enter Hell, no more than 2 days.
-
Yeah,one of the science men in the science department could accidentally make a portal to the Nether and Brotopia expands there. That would be super cool.
-
Name every other street after the Glorious Leader and variations on the name.
-
I just installed Optifine. Now I'm taking artsy shots all over the place.
It's a shame screenshots in fullscreen gives me shitty jpg quality.
-
If you want some really artsy shots, install Sonic Ether's shaders
-
Eugh, no. Shaders are ugly and unfitting.
I would rather have something that doesn't give me shitty screenshot quality.
-
Use beacons for something like i did here:

i was just browsing the thread and you should change proletariat to broletariat

What's this lovely new building?
It's not an apartment block, nor a school. Actually, it's a supermarket. Although citizens of Brotopia do recieve weekly food rations, you can still buy more food with your hard-earned money. Of course, all profits of this supermarket goes to the Party.
The entrance is equipped with the latest of high-tech detector alarms, which detects any products that haven't been run through the registrer.
There is also a guard on either side of the entrance.
Stealing will not be tolerated.
The cashiers are ready to take your money.
All kinds of products are offered in the market. Class-restricted, of course. You wouldn't want those filthy A-Class eating all the good food.
Those extra floors are just some boring offices. Don't worry about it.
Nevertheless, the supermarket quickly filled up with hardworking citizens looking to fill their bellies.
A hungry worker is a lazy worker, after all.
No, the upper floors are not empty rooms filled with agents of the Ministry of State Security, intending to spy on the inhabitants of Sector Two. Where did you hear that, citizen?
The Ministry of Information's General Department finally have their own office in the Iron Fist. They have the entire second floor for themselves, so some changes in the internal layout was needed.
The receptionist will accept any visitors or new workers.
The Minister also holds on to copies of all the archived files from the Records Department, with the exception of the Glorious Leader's highly classified files.
There are rows of convict cubicles on both sides of the office, though they're unstaffed at the moment.
On each side are also cubicles for the General Assistants.
The only department that doesn't have an office yet is the Department of the Glorious Leader's Protection and Entourage, who will get the third floor, right under the Glorious Leader's office, for themselves. Once their office is done the very first Party meeting in the Worker's Assembly is expected to take place to discuss what will happen next.
Once the DepGLPE has their own office, the apoveground parts of the Iron Fist will be regarded to be complete.

you have to put in that god awful hotel that's in north korea
-
Nevermind, found out about it in the "sensationalist headlines".
-
I already have a pyramid and a skyscraper.
Though the Iron Fist was heavily inspired by the Ministry of Love from 1984 and the Tyrell Corporation building from Blade Runner, I am not here to make direct copies of real buildings.

Leader's tower has no windows
-
Of course not. Do you think the Glorious Leader would want the Imperialists spying on him through the windows, especially considering the tower is visible from the Imperialist settlements outside of the wall?Leader's tower has no windows
The weather is lovely today. Time for an execution.
Citizen C-045, a librarian and former author, was the first citizen to finish the Blue Book. However, when offered a reward, C-045 declined, saying "I don't want be endorsed for reading the work of an amateur. This book is so poorly written, it's like the Glorious Leader kidnapped an A-Citizen, recited the words and forced him to write it down at gunpoint. It's full of unrealistic statements. The whole biography section is a disgrace to literature. I'm sure an Imperialist could write better than this."
It's sad to see that such a productive, intellectual citizen is so full of lies and propaganda. Regardless, a citizen of his caliber, who have read the book thoroughly, should know better than to break the very first law of the Penal Code. As defined, Illegal Speech is the act of speaking negatively of the Supreme, Superior and All-Knowing Glorious Leader of Brotopia, the Worker's Party of Brotopia, the People's Republic of Brotopia or any other people, symbols or objects related to the People's Republic.
The punishment is slow death of oneself and one's relatives.
Citizen C-045 spent a week in MinSS captivity before being executed in a rather functionalist slow combustion chamber. C-045's surviving mother, wife and best friend were captured a day earlier and executed inside the MinSS HQ.
This is slow combustion we're talking about right here, not some near-instant lava dropper thing.
This other little rascal we got in captivity, test subject UNDERCITIZEN-04, who's on a science-assisted interrogation and slow execution program, is already showing signs of detoriating mental health. He has been talking to himself all night, repeatedly mumbling about foreign concepts such as "human rights" and "war crimes". He refuses to answer questions, and instead demands to be released.
Once his cell door opened, he literally ran into the testing chamber by his own will.
He spent a minute or two pacing around in the chamber.
Again, he refuses to answer questions, instead rambling about how an "international court" will come and imprison a person he implies to be the Glorious Leader, and try him for "crimes against humanity".
The subject is continuously applied with different poisons, which he responds by screaming in pain, and apparently trying to eat his own shirt.
It should be worth to note that the subject's weight has also gone down dramatically. He was already underweight after having spent a month in captivity outside, given only minimal food. In the 4 days he have spent in DepGS captivity, he haven't been given any food at all. He is basically slowly dying from malnutrition.
We decided to leave it at that. He will be locked inside his cell until he dies. He is just too crazy and too hungry to answer any questions.
The decision for a slow execution without a signature of confession on the grounds of low mental and physical health was approved by the Department of Justice.

You could add fake windows with glowstone or other stuff. For now, the tower looks quite bland.
-
I think it looks quite industrious and overbearing. And with how the stone slabs have borders, it sorta looks like windows.
-
I would rather keep the intimidating look of a windowless concrete skycraper.
-
How does the class system work. Classes get increased for good behavior or something?
-
Citizens are initially divided into the three classes from their line of work. Newborn citizens will have a class chosen for them randomly. Citizens will have to a job that belongs to their class, and they can't change classes.
A-Class are farmers and ranchers, though A-Class can also do some low-level factory work.
B-Class are industrial workers, working with manufacturing (primarily weapons), factory work and also food processing.
C-Class are scribes and preachers. These guys have ligh levels of education and will work for the government, either doing misc. office and paperwork or "preaching" the Glorious Leader's cult of personality, whether they want it or not.
The A-Class are commonly blamed for Brotopia's problems by the state media. They are the least privileged, receive miniscule rations and earn very little. They are also the most opressed class. It is common for them to be rounded up at random and be publically executed just for the sake of it.
The C-Class are the most privileged, they receive ample food rations and high wages, assuming they agree to work for the Party. C-Class citizens that refuse to work will end up being placed in a tiny cage in one of the information departments in the Iron Fist, forced to work for the rest of their lives.
C-Class citizens are also allowed to become Party members, which gives them even more privileges.
-
I'll think that the class for newborns should be chosen by their loyalty and education.
-
I think that there should be a huge wave of sleeper agents pop up from rival imperialistic cities.
-
Thread revived!
-
This thread is not going to die completely anytime soon. I'm still working on it.
(I'm on vacation right now though.)
-
I wonder where the Glorious Leader goes on vacations.
-
He and other leaders meet in an assembly and share tips and tricks on oppressing the population

The last Department to get an office of their own is the Department of the Glorious Leader's Protection and Entourage. Their office, located right below the Glorious Leader's and has stairs to it from the Ministry of Information's office.
You have to pass through a security checkpoint to enter the office.
The department is staffed with 6 workers, whose job is to ensure the Glorious Leader's safety, and also to assist him in his daily tasks.
The staff is hand-picked by the Glorious Leader, and have to swear by an oath to protect, serve and obey him.
Above the office is a recreational area for the Glorious Leader. The staircase in the middle leads to his office.
This means that the Iron Fist is now fully staffed for all the departments, though not necessarily finished.
As a result of this, the Glorious Leader decided to gather the senior party members to a meeting in the Worker's Assembly to discuss Brotopia's future with him and his cabinet.
These meetings were supposed to happen anually, but instead, the Glorious Decided that these meetings will be held whenever the Glorious Leader feels like it.
One of the issues that was brought up was the city redevolpement. Sector Seven was brought up specifically, because it appears to developing rapidly on its own. "Junk Town", the common nickname for the multi-story shantytown that is being built on top of the overgrown and derelict houses that covered the area originally, now covers more than two thirds of the sector.
These pictures shows some of the recent developments in there. Note the last picture, which depicts the public reading station for the Blue Book that was built there around a month ago. Now there are 4 stories of shacks above and around it.
Several Party members were concerned about the freedom the inhabitants have in the sector of building houses on their own. The Glorious Leader highlighteed that the living conditions in the sector is far below the rest of the city. The lower levels are poorly lit and covered by thin poles that support the upper levels. In some cases, such thin poles are the foundations for the upper shacks. It's only a matter of time before the entire place crumbles from its own weight. It is also a massive firetrap, since it is built almost entirely out of wood. Sanitary standards are non-existant. There is no sewage system, so human excrement and also conventional garbage is dumped on the sidewalk and even in crevices between shacks.
The Glorious Leader then pointed out that most of the sector's population are undemployed A-Class citizens, and that they deserve no better than to live in these conditions, but it is also necessary to restrict their freedom of construction.
And then, the Sector Seven Development Act was drafted and passed unanimously.
The act would ban all buildings in the area from exceeding 20 metres of height, and would ban any attempts to "spill over" construction to other sectors. It would also ban attempting to cover any of the informational Party-sponsored advertisements (that have been built on top of some shacks) with buildings.
In addition, travel to the sector will continue to be monitored, and every registrered resident in the sector will get a permanent reduction of food rations as well as loss of the right to free education and healthcare.
The punishment for breaking the construction laws is that the entire sector will get demolished, and all the residents will be executed.
Another decision that was made in this meeting was to begin prioritise development in the criminal system, to finish the construction of Sector Five and the MinSS HQ, so maybe we won't need to have this thing anymore.
I've also decided that I will now release the map of the People's Republic of Brotopia for the first time!
Obviously, the map is far from finished, and I will continue to update it, but there's already a lot to explore. There's even a fully readable Blue Book!
Now you can be the Glorious Leader too!
Also, if you build something awesome on this map and show it to me, I may even consider making it canon.

It's ... It's beautiful
-
Fuck yeah, released map
-
Well shit. I played on the map, set the gamemode to survival for more immersion and got my ass kicked by a group of golems.
I am not welcome in Brotopia :c
-
I shall transform Brotopia into a DEMOCRACY
-
DIE FASCIST SCUM.
Junk Town is an eyesore, it deserves to be razed to the ground. I think I'll be doing a spot of razing late today.
-
Make a idiot construct something banned in sector seven,and make it a gargantuan sprawling domed factory+farm and warehouses. Sector 7 is scum fascism imperialism scum! Use chainsaws to remove them!
-
A spark of fire or two in hard mode should do the job.Junk Town is an eyesore, it deserves to be razed to the ground. I think I'll be doing a spot of razing late today.
Sorry, but Junk Town is here to stay. Canonically, at least. It's intended to be a contrast to the rest of the city with informal and haphazard construction vs. uniform construction.
But now that the map is released, you are free to do that yourself.
Also, fascist isn't a prejorative term in Brotopia. Some of the Glorious Leader's policies are actually pretty fascist themselves.
-
I brought some modifications on the Leadership Tower :
I totaly respected the chart of Brotopia.
-
haven't you tried giving the Sector seven inhabitants lobs with manual labor instead of leaving them to rot?
-
There should be games held in honer of the Glorious Leader. Inside a new amazing stadium. (At the A&B classes expense of course)
-
I just realized. We need a sewer system
EDIT:
BUURN
-
Infect the sector seven citizens with the green plague. Those jobless pigs cannot exploit the leader any longer!
