Neo-Cascades

The Neo-Cascades are a new commune located on the peninsula northwest of Emery Village on the continent of Vallonné. It is primarily based on the Cascadia area (Washington, Oregon, and British Colombia) and the counter-culture movements of the surrounding areas and nations. It competes with itself between a nature theme pushed by tall dominating redwood trees and a modern technological theme pushed by a tall neon skyline. It will soon feature a replica of the Seattle Space Needle, a Statue to the Goddess Libertas, and a large stadium in which biannual intercommunal olympics will be held. The commune is currently heavily work-in progress, but planning and building are well underway.
The Commune was originally a plan concocted by Willow as a part of the Juche Gang, but a few months before her departure the plans took a backseat and eventually fizzled out. The start of the first commune can still be seen at it's original location in Sogen. 
The original commune was designed to be a tribute to the various counterculture movements seen across the United States of America. Including but not limited to; the Hippie Movement, the Anti-War Protests/Movement, Punk, Grunge, Surfers (apparently), Emo, Goth, Moonshiners, etc. All represented with small sections of land in the commune that would have represented their culture, such as a small hippie van commune for the hippies, or a graveyard for the emos and goths.
8 months later, the project was revived by the cofounder of the original commune Chroma with the help of Jamie, Bricky, and Merrain. The new commune (Neo-Cascades) decided to lean much further into the tech/neon aesthetic than originally planned, scrapping everything besides the main city, forest, stadium, and Libertas Statue. There are no current solid plans for how expansion will go once the current designated area is finished, however it is likely that the commune will expand to take up most if not all of it's peninsula within the lifetime of the server.
