The Lunar Republic and Mars Invite Colonists and Development

Luna City-Lunagrad

Development is picking up in the capital city of the Lunar Republic. Resources are being developed and electric and maglev rail lines are being constructed. Lunarian Transport Authority game in progress [1963 LRC] is attached. I hope
you will enjoy colonizing the moon.

[Note: The Scenario used is a modified "Honey Moon."]

One of the richest media barons in the Solar system, Janus Wolf, no longer welcome on Earth where scandals involving corruption, eavesdropping, and other misbehavior have tarred him and his companies, has relocated to Mars. Wolf Extra-Planetary News [WEPN] has just bought out Gaia Associated Interplanetary News Service [GAINS] and Aries Interplanetary Media [AIM]. Wolf's AIM is to dominate the planet, by hook or by crook, and has already established cozy relationships with the least scrupulous functionaries.

Wolf's WEPN will be at the service of politicians willing to assist him in achieving his extreme socio-political goals. Wolf was suspected of involvement with the Area 51 weaponization scandal, however the investigation has been abruptly terminated with, it is alleged, a little help from Wolf's new "friends."

More evidence of Mars and Luna following the corrupt practices of Old Earth has infuriated those who relocated to escape such things and establish a new, clean and progressive society. Not totally surprising, this has resulted in another Earth import taking root. The Occupationist Societies, long suppressed on Earth as undesirable anarchists and libertarians, have reemerged on both Mars and Luna.

Wolf News of the System, with the entirely inappropriate slogan "Always Impartial," conducts a constant sly campaign of vilification against the Occupationists, even inserting propaganda into weather reports. Reports of isolated misbehavior are reported as major crime sprees.

Because Wolf Investment Civic Kernel Enhancement Department [WICKED] has been promoting many new jobs [most underpaid, part-time jobs with few benefits], problems have been overlooked and investments, particularly in transportation have been lauded. New rail lines are being built and industries established to exploit the local resources.

Wolf Corp. has opened a military-industrial manufacturing site, WICKED Weapons Company. Their slogan is WICKED toys for GI boys. Access by inspectors and the press is supposedly unrestricted, however visitors to the site believe that isolated areas exist that are closed to outsiders.

Sumeria

Not far away on another planet, but far away, back in time, was the earliest "Western" Civilization, Sumeria. For those with a taste for different scenarios I have created the ancient Fertile Crescent scenario featuring Babylon and the city states of Sumeria.

Great News

Thanks to the Open TTD team

You can have the Mars terrain without the annoying Toyland elements.

It works with other GRFs, including stations, trains, etc. If you want it to be desert,
you will be able to add desert to it but with little change in the color scheme. This
is much more versatile than the previous Mars add-on because you can use a large
variety of sets, GRFs, etc.

Hooray, hooray!!! Kudos all around!!!
