Duncombe Bay station

**Duncombe Bay station** is a Savannah Metro station, the terminus of the Southern Line. The station opened on March 27, 2013, and serves The Boardwalk, New Square Place, and tourists visiting the Duncombe Multi-Storey Car Park.

## Layout

The station is elevated. There are two side platforms on the third floor. On the second floor, there is a transfer platform. Lights inform passengers of which platform the next train is at. Exit B and Exit A and C are located at different concourses on the first floor, and from there an escalator and stairs lead to Exit A.

The station is notable for having every exit being accessible with a combination of lifts and slopes.

## Exits

* A: The Boardwalk
* B: New Square Place
* C: Duncombe Car Park
Western Line

The **Western Line** is a Savannah Metro line. Starting at New Central station, it enters the heart of Central before turning under the Elizabeth Canal, then serving eastern Savannah before ending at Boothroyd. The line has 12 stations and runs for a total of 30 minutes. It opened on May 19, 1977 from Market Street station to Olympia.

## History

The Western Line was planned in the 1950s, but not approved until 1970. Construction started in 1974, and the first section from Market Street to Olympia opened on May 19, 1977. Uniquely, most underground stations are housed in TBMs, except for Market Street and Darkwood Hill, whose existing stations had been built by cut-and-cover for earlier lines. The line was later extended to Haltraugh on March 20, 1980, then to Boothroyd, and then to New Central in the 2000s as an indirect byproduct of the Ocarina Line extension.
Park Avenue

**Park Avenue** is a major road running from Jardine in the west to Richmond in the east. The street is named after Elizabeth Park.

## Landmarks

At the corner of Darkwood Hill Road and Park Avenue is the former site of the Mitsukoshi Savannah. This store opened in 1977, but when it merged with the nearby Isetan Savannah at Jardine Road, the space was left vacant. The space has been temporarily let out by some stores while a long-term plan is still underway.

## Layout

Intersections include:

* Francis Street
* Mercer Street
* Windvane Street
* Covent Avenue
* Trench Street
* Richmond Street
* Sharpe Lane
* Darkwood Hill Road/Stadium Drive/Beacon Road
Haltraugh Station

**Haltraugh Station** is a major interchange station in Haltraugh, Savannah. Traditionally it was the main train terminal for eastern Minecon, and still partially serves this role today.

## History

The station was built in 1899 to serve the Eastshore Main Line, and rapidly expanded to accommodate other lines. The Haltraugh Grand Hotel was built adjacent to the station in 1924.

The station was rebuilt from 1967 to 1970 in the Brutalist style, although this encountered much public opposition due to the loss of the original architecture. The new building was also criticised for being dull and ugly. However later appraisals have been much more positive. The hotel was taken over by Crown Hotels in 2001.

The Quaint Little Town of Duncombe

***The Quaint Little Town of Duncombe*** was a 19th-century piece of descriptive writing that saw Duncombe as it was then, a popular seaside resort serviced by a train station, and far away from Savannah, the noisy capital

## The text

*"The quaint little town of Duncombe was only four miles from the capital, but it gave off an entirely different vibe, not unlike the seaside towns of southern England. The town almost felt empty even on the week-days, when the little children went to grammar school and the rest commuted. The crows and the leaves made much of the noise in the small park, filled with nothing but dirt pathways and overgrown shrubs. The tides struck against the bay, then receded into the ocean quietly. The bells from the town hall gave off a stark feeling of what it was like to stay out of the capital’s action. At night, when everyone was asleep, the crickets and owls came out to play, quietly chirping and hooting as they searched for prey.*

*The week-ends were another story. Hordes of families flocked to Duncombe for a day at the beach, and the seaside restaurants on the pier were always jam-packed. It was not uncommon to see hundreds burst out of the railway station every twenty minutes. The crows retreated from the crowds and flew away, overwhelmed by the number of people coming in. Duncombe was not made to handle this, so much of the noise now came from the amusement of the pier and the chatter at the beach.*

*Suddenly, at around four, and maybe later, the crowd vanished. With it the crows returned and gave it the quiet vibe it was always known for. The crickets and owls continued their search for food not long after. Such was the cycle of atmosphere in the quaint little town of Duncombe."*

## Trivia

* In an interview with the Creator, he said that *The Quaint Little Town of Duncombe* was actually an edited piece of homework he had written in primary school. It was also where the name of Duncombe came from.
Duncombe Bypass Road

**Duncombe Bypass Road** is a road bridge located underneath the Duncombe Interchange in northeastern Savannah. The road starts at the junction of Darkwood Hill Road and Chester Street, then turns south where it ends at Kensington Estate at the junction of Olympia Road and Queens Street. The road was built in 1980, before the Duncombe Interchange was built over it in 1997.

## History

Before the road was built, traffic heading from Darkwood Hill to the rapidly expanding areas of Olympia and Haltraugh tended to use Darkwood Hill Road. Traffic would then turn onto the narrow Chester Street and the later named Broadway Street, before continuing onto Olympia Road. The narrow streets caused frequent congestion, even after the M2 was built to bypass this section.

The calls for action increased when the adjacent Kensington Estate was completed in 1979. The residents' main complaint was that not only was the congested road disrupting their commutes, but also caused significant noise pollution. Therefore, the Duncombe Bypass Road was completed in 1980, along with a sweeping set of traffic changes on nearby streets.
Eastern Street

Eastern Street is a 1.0km street in Minecon. The street connects High Street at its north end to Farm Avenue and Eastern Bridge at its south.

The M1 runs on part of the street before going onto a flyover and curving left towards Barrington.

## History

The street was one of the original four to be laid and named in Minecon. It, along with High Street, was also part of the village preceding the city.

The M1, built in 1961, divided the street into four carriageways, two northbound and two southbound. The street, at twelve lanes, is the widest on Minecon.

## Layout

After starting at High Street, the southbound carriageway has junctions with Hill Street, Castle Road and Broom Street. The northbound carriageway intersects Castle Road only. The street ends at Farm Avenue.
Minecon: IRL Inspirations

Minecon: IRL Inspirations is a behind-the-scenes book published in 2021 by Minecon's creator, C. Chan. The book details the lore of Minecon as well as the various inspirations from the real world that ended up in Minecon. This book reveals that Minecon was envisaged as a fusion of London, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, with other cities also having small amounts of inspiration taken.

## Inspirations of Locations

The book reveals which major locations and buildings in Minecon they are based on:
Savannah station

Savannah is a Minecon Railways station in Central, Savannah. The station was originally built in 1901 as part of the initial Minecon Rail system, which was later demolished and replaced with a newer station in 1975. The station today has 24 platforms, 10 at-grade and 14 underground, as well as connections to three Savannah Metro stations.

The station links to the Savannah Metro at Savannah station, Savannah East station, and New Central station.

## Layout

The station's main entrance lies on Station Square, at the junction of Railway Street and St George's Road. From there are the 10 at-grade platforms for westbound trains as well as a waiting area. Floor B2 contains 10 underground platforms for eastbound and through trains. Floor B3 and B4 are reserved for RevoRail platforms.

The concourses and exits on B1, G, and 1F are connected by an extensive network of escalators and lifts. Each concourse contains waiting rooms and counters for buying tickets.

The station is connected by underground links to the headquarters of Minecon Railways, other commercial developments, and three Savannah Metro stations.

## Transport

Two bus and coach terminals, at the northwest and northeast exits, are connected to the station. There is also a carpark located on the site of the original Savannah Station, although it has since been closed and demolished to build a commercial development.

## History

The station opened in 1901 at the junction of what is now High Street and Old Railway Street.
Ackshore

**Ackshore** is a small village in eastern Savannah, surrounded by the Bay of Olympia, M10, and Brackley's Hill. It still remains a fishing village today, and also carries the function of repairing boats at the yards by the sea.

## History

Ackshore existed by at least the 9th century, and recorded a population of 400 in 1900. The Bay of Olympia, at that time, was still a port for military vessels, and thus during the Siege of Savannah, the village suffered several direct hits, destroying a large swathe of the village.

Ackshore Estate, East and West, were built in 1961 and 1960 respectively as public housing estates. They were demolished in 1989 as substandard construction quality came to light, and have been redeveloped between 1991-92.

The M10 began passing by Ackshore in 1996, with noise barriers to minimise noise pollution.

## Transport

Transport to Ackshore has historically been very inconvenient; the only route out is the path now known as Ackshore Street, with the result being that the market town of Olympia was over half an hour away despite being visible from the village. The constraints were brought about by the Fallen Creek being dangerously unstable, making it impossible to build a bridge over with ancient technology.

A bridge over Fallen Creek existed by the 19th century, and by 1920, Savannah Bus route 15 operated a service from Central to Haltraugh once every two hours. In 1949 the service at Ackshore was replaced by the 15A, now the 16M between Olympia and Haltraugh.

Key Park station on the future Savannah Metro Cross City Line may include an exit to Ackshore Estate.
Goron

The **Gorons** are a group rock-like creatures that live on Death Mountain. They love to eat rocks and their leader is Darunia.

## Story

The Gorons tried to make it to Dodongo's Cavern, but it was blocked off by some rocks. Link must blow up the rocks and destroy the Dodongos that moved into the cave. This cave is the second dungeon, the 1st is Inside the Great Deku Tree.
Old Bailey Street

**Old Bailey Street** is a street in northeastern Central, Savannah. The street runs from St George's Road to Harcourt Road and is one-way eastbound. The name comes from its hosting of the Supreme Court of Minecon at 11 Old Bailey Street, a reference to the court of the same name in London.

## Layout

The street begins at a three-way intersection with St George's Road and Hospital Crescent, intersects Margate Street near the Supreme Court, and finishes at Harcourt Road.
Chestnut Tree Garden

The **Chestnut Tree Garden** is a famous garden adjacent to Torquay Estate in Savannah. Originally a simple sitting-out area with a chestnut tree, it gained national fame in 1984 when an unknown artist engraved George Orwell's "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree" in metal plates surrounding the tree. The tree has been historically both a tourist attraction and a site for protests against the Mineconian government.

## History

The park was built in 1975 as a recreational area for the residents of Torquay Estate. Together with the garden was planted a chestnut tree. Before 1986, it was known as the **Torquay Estate Garden**. The planners of the estate did not know that the tree was a chestnut tree until it became famous.

Sometime in March 1984, a person installed metal plates reading George Orwell's "Under the Spreading Chestnut Tree" from his famous novel 1984. The garden then instantly became known nationwide, as a sort of rallying cry against totalitarianism. It is used as a protest site for those dissatisfied with the Mineconian Government, and is also a tourist attraction in Savannah.

### Occupy Savannah

The Occupy movement in autumn 2011 took place in both this garden and at the plaza of the Savannah Stock Exchange. The sites were often referred to as the "two pillars of Occupy". The site was taken over on November 24, 2011 and was peacefully evicted on January 22, 2012, one week before the Savannah Stock Exchange site was evicted with some scuffles.

## Transport

The closest Savannah Metro station is Masons Street, but it is an inconvenient 9-minute walk away. It is better served by the bus terminus at Torquay Estate (buses 21, 21X, and 91B) as well as a stop for bus 11 to Yale Station and Olympia.
Western Bridge

**Western Bridge** is a 0.8km suspension, three-way bridge connecting the Central and Richmond areas of Savannah. Despite its name, the bridge is located on the eastern side of Central; this is due to old maps showing Central as its bottom end, and thus Western Bridge at the west. The bridge has had various incarnations, the most recent one opening on May 1, 1991.

Western Bridge is the beginning section of the M2, and links to the Olympia Motorway.

## History

The bridge has existed ever since the four original streets of Central were laid out. The original bridge in the 18th century was a simple wooden bridge; this bridge caught fire and was destroyed. A concrete bridge was commissioned to replace it after the war, but after years of neglect and disrepair, the current bridge replaced it. It was constructed from 1989 to 1991, while the old bridge continued running underneath.

From 1992 to 2001, New Year's Day fireworks were fired from dispensers in the middle of this bridge; they were moved to the Phoenix City Bridge when it opened in 2001.
Bay of Olympia

The **Bay of Olympia** is a large bay in the Sea of L'Manberg at Olympia, Savannah. On its shore are the districts of Duncombe, Olympia, and Haltraugh.

## History

The historical fishing village of Olympia was founded on the bay about 700-800 years ago. In the 19th century, the area was urbanised and annexed into Savannah.

It has historically been an important military location, as the Haltraugh Barracks are located in the bay, as well as a port for the navy. Due to this, it was used as the primary stronghold for the Minecon Armed Forces during the L'Manberg - Minecon War, and multiple attempts to target the barracks failed. Some advantages to its location include its small entrance, good shelter from the sea and a circuitous approach required to enter the bay.
L'Manberg - Minecon War

The **L'Manberg-Minecon War** was a major war fought between L'Manberg, then called Manberg, and Minecon. Minecon was also supported by the forces of Pogtopia, the split nation of Manberg. The war lasted from 16 January 1942 to 16 November 1944, and resulted in a decisive Mineconian victory. The former Manberg was dissolved and its land given to Pogtopia, who renamed it L'Manberg. The new L'Manberg would later have its own civil war shortly after the end of the war.

## Timeline

By summer 1944, almost all of the Dream SMP and Minecon had turned on Manberg, and would advance onto the Manberg land in what is known as the Advance on Manberg. Forces split up into two, one half taking the Manbergian docks and the other charging into the heartland. The Manberg army was forced to retreat to the center of Manberg, and surrounded, their leader JSchlatt committed suicide on November 16, 1944. All of the Manbergian troops immediately surrendered afterwards, thus ending the war in victory for Minecon and Pogtopia.

### Aftermath

The former Manberg land was ceded to Pogtopia, now led by Tubbo. However, they were forced to fight a civil war over traitors within the Pogtopian forces, most notably leading to the death of former leader Wilbur Soot.

## Trivia

* The war is a Mineconian adaptation of the Manberg-Pogtopia war, and the sudden attack by Technoblade and Wilbur Soot afterwards.
Phoenix

**Phoenix Group** is a large Minecon-based conglomerate with core businesses in Minecon.

## Headquarters

Historically, the headquarters of Phoenix Group was at 15 Farm Avenue, adjacent to the President's House and on the site of what is now offices for members of Parliament. The headquarters moved to Harcourt House in 1970, One Phoenix Plaza in 1993 and currently, Phoenix House, starting from 2002.
Broom Street

Broom Street is a 0.2km one-way street, connecting Eastern Street with Prairie Street. Notable locations on the street include Swindon and Sons's flagship store and the Salvation Army Headquarters at 1 Broom Street.

## Layout

After starting at Eastern Street's southbound carriageway, the street intersects with Aldwych twice, due to the latter's crescent shape. The street then merges onto Prairie Street.

Prairie Street metro station has an exit nearby.

## History

The street was, prior to 1810, known as National Circuit. The street encompassed Broom Street and today's Aldwych. However, due to confusing layout and street signage, the street was split up into Broom Street and Aldwych. Broom Street was made one-way in 1961 due to the building of the M1 on Eastern Street.
Duncombe Prison

**Duncombe Prison** is a museum (officially named the **Duncombe Prison Museum of Correctional Services**) and former small, medium-security prison in Duncombe, northeastern Savannah, and is operated by the Correction Department. It is one of the oldest prisons in Savannah, dating from 1922. The former Duncombe District Court is adjacent to the prison and houses the main museum complex.

## Features and Security

The prison, being antiquated, has very little features in comparison to other newer prisons in Minecon. The prison is divided into two blocks. Block A contains the canteen, a classroom that is used as a chapel on Sundays, and the main cells. Block B houses solitary confinement and workshops. There is a small yard in the bottom-right corner of the prison.

The prison is guarded by two 20m high walls topped with barbed wire. There is also a guard post near the yard.
Eastern Line

The **Eastern Line** is a Savannah Metro line stretching from Clamp Bay station in the north to Yale Station in the South, with 8 stations, a 15-minute run time.

The line opened on June 23, 1954 from Yale to Eastern Bridge, extended to Prairie Street on January 25, 1956, and then to Clamp Bay on December 1, 1990.
Barrack Hill Estate

**Barrack Hill Estate** is a public housing estate on Barrack Hill, Croxley. It is divided into an **Upper** estate (blocks 1-8) and **Lower** estate (blocks 9-13). Built in stages from 1946 to 1954, the estate was redeveloped in 1967 and 1984.

## History

The estate was built on the site of the southern section of the Croxley Barracks. The lower estate was built in 1946 consisting of seven 5-storey H-type blocks lacking private toilets and kitchens (block A-G) and the upper estate was built from 1953 to 1954, consisting of Mark III blocks.

The entire estate was redeveloped throughout the 1970s. The lower estate was redeveloped in 1967 in a bid to improve the living conditions of its residents. Its replacements were 5 unusually short 7-storey Old Slab blocks. The upper estate was prematurely demolished in 1982 in the wake of the 1980s public housing scandal and replaced with eight 20-storey Old Slab blocks.

## Transport

Barrack Hill station on the Savannah Metro serves the station. Buses 1, 1P and 3B serve the estate.
Bromley Hill Estate

**Bromley Hill Estate** is a large public housing estate in Torquay, Savannah. It is divided into an **Upper** and **Lower** estate, both of them having 7 blocks each completed between 1983 and 1986.

The estate was formerly a part of the larger Torquay Estate, which was split into three and redeveloped from 1974 to 1988.

## History

Torquay Estate once occupied much of what was Bromley Hill when it was built in 1948 to accommodate war refugees and other low-income residents. It had 54 residential blocks. Bromley Hill Estate is built on what was then blocks 1-25.

In the wake of a construction scandal that found substandard materials in some blocks, Bromley Hill Estate was split off and redeveloped in stages. Blocks 21 and 22 (on the current site of Block 12) were demolished in 1982 first due to structural problems. Blocks 13-20 and 23-25 were then redeveloped in 1984 to form the Lower Bromley Hill Estate of new blocks 8-14, completed between 1983 and 1985. Blocks 1-11 were redeveloped between 1984 and 1986 to form blocks 1-7, the Upper Bromley Hill Estate.

## Layout

The Upper Estate along Upper Bromley Road consists of 7 slab blocks, each 20 floors, of which blocks 1-2 and 3-5 are linked together.

The Lower Estate along Torquay Road also consists of 7 slab blocks, each 22 floors, of which blocks 8-11 and 13-14 are linked.

## Buildings

**Upper Estate**
 Block 3
 Block 6
 Block 7

**Lower Estate**
 Block 12
 Block 13
 Block 14

## Transport

As of yet, there is no Savannah Metro station serving the estate, though buses 21, 25,26M and 74P serve the estate, and bus 11 passes by at the Chestnut Tree Garden. However, the nearby Torquay Station is planned for the Cross City Line.

## Trivia

Based on real-life construction time, this was the first public housing estate to have archways over roads. This would become a standard of 1970s to 1980s estates according to lore time.
Yale

**Yale** is a district of Savannah. It is a major tourist, business and transport hub rivalling that of Central, Richmond and Olympia. The district is bordered by Jardine to the north, Mount Midway and Wandsworth to the west, Torquay and Midway to the east, and Shepherds' Heights to the south.

Compared to the other districts, Yale is rather small due to the mountainous terrain surrounding it; therefore, the area is densely populated.

## Landmarks

**Yale Station** is a major railway station lying on the southern part of Yale, on the border with Midway.

The **Savannah Science Park** on Yale Hill is a large science park in Savannah, and is headquarters to many firms, such as NEX.

## Industry

Yale Hill is home to the science park, and therefore caters to the quaternary sector. Central Yale is built upon the service sector, with offices, hotels and a transport hub, and southern Yale is primarily industrial, with many factories and industrial buildings. This is in sharp contrast to the adjacent Midway Gap, home to many of the affluent in Savannah.
Holstown Tunnel

**Holstown Tunnel** is a 1.9km cut-and-cover tunnel connecting Croxley and the Headland. Running under Holstown Road, the tunnel provides a faster link to the Headland and its estates.

## History

With the completion of Gwendolyn Estate and the development of the Headland, traffic was expected to rapidly increase. The tunnel, planned in 1980, was completed on May 17, 1991.
Richmond Town station

**Richmond Town** is a Savannah Metro station on the Southern Line, serving western Richmond and Richmond Park. The station opened on June 18, 1983.

## History

The infill station was built as a result of concerns that the existing Richmond Station was too far from central Richmond. The station was approved in 1980, and was finished on June 18, 1983.

## Layout

There are two side platforms on floor B2.

## Exits

* A: Richmond Hospital
* B: Richmond Park
Richmond Estate

**Richmond Estate** was a public housing estate in Richmond, Savannah, bounded by Darkwood Hill Road, Jardine Road, Richmond Street, and Brighton Lane. The estate was built in 1949 and consisted of 22 rectangular blocks. The estate was demolished in 1974, along with other private houses, after structural concerns compromised many of the blocks. Today the estate is now the shopping district surrounding Sharpe Lane.
Smithfield station

**Smithfield** is a Savannah Metro station on the Circle Line and Camden Line. The station serves the Smithfield Market and the Four Bridges Observation Tower.

## Layout

The station is underground. Underneath the concourse is an island platform. Platform 1 goes clockwise to Croxley Gate and Platform 2 counterclockwise to Eastern Bridge.
Four Bridges Observation Tower

The **Four Bridges Observation Tower** is a 245m tall tower in the middle of the Four Bridges. The tower is glass-bottomed and lets visitors see a panoramic view of western Savannah. The tower is only reachable by a free ferry service, and requires an admission fee to enter. Part of the fee funds the ferry service.

The tower is an important tourist attraction in Savannah, along with the Four Bridges themselves.

## History

The observation tower opened on April 15, 1991, shortly after the Four Bridges opened.

## Design

Aside from a maintenance floor, there are no in-between floors from the ground floor to the observation floor. On the ground floor, fees are collected before visitors enter the elevators. The observation floor is glass-bottomed and has a small cafe near the Barrington side. Visitors are given an unrestricted view of the surrounding area.

Four high-speed Hitachi elevators replaced the original Toshiba elevators in stages from 2017 to 2020.
Central

**Central** is the Central Business District of Savannah, a location with much business, governmental services and the commercial heart of the city. It is on the eastern part of Central Island is bordered by New Central to the north, Barrington to the west, and the Elizabeth Canal to the south and the east.

## History

Central was the original village of Savannah, which dated back to the 6th century BC. It was on a prime location, with both a river and sea nearby. The Elizabeth Canal was dug at an unknown date to provide further water access to the village.

It was not until the 15th century that Savannah began to develop as a city, with the first administrative centres and since-demolished military barracks built in the area. Trade with Savannah began to flourish, and that was when the city began to expand outside of the village, the original town now renamed Central to set it apart from the other districts.

An ambitious reclamation scheme added 100 hectares to the north and the east of Central where the Sea of L'Manberg once was in the 1930s. The new northern part was named New Central. 36 of these hectares are today the Savannah station, the largest railway terminal in Savannah.

## Landmarks

Various important governmental structures such as the Central Police Station, Central Fire Station, Central Post Office, Supreme Court of Minecon, Parliament Building, and the President's House are located in Central. Major office buildings include the Savannah Stock Exchange, Bank of Savannah Tower, Phoenix House, among others.

## Geography

Along with Croxley and Barrington districts, Central is located on an Central Island divided by the Shepherd's River and the Elizabeth Canal, which originates from the very end of the delta of the Shepherd's River.

## Transport

The M1 starts in Central and crosses the Eastern Bridge, then goes through the southern zones of Jardine, Yale as well as other major cities in Minecon, ending at Cawthorn. The M2 also begins in Central and, using the Western Bridge, connects Richmond and Olympia. The M10's terminus also is is Central, although it goes through New Central and the Phoenix City Bridge.

Six Savannah Metro stations serve the area:

* Market Street
* Jubilee Street
* City Hall
* Eastern Bridge
* Prairie Street
* Savannah

Two stations serve the perimeter of the area:

* Ocean Bay Terrace
* Bayfront Road

The railway terminal, Savannah, also is in the area. There are 3 major bus terminals in Central, under Savannah station, at Jubilee Street, and at Embankment.
Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Yard

**Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch Yard** is a short, dead-end street in Midway Gap, Savannah. The street is located at the junction of Cambridge Street and Somerset Avenue. The street name, named after the town in Anglesey, Wales, is recent; historically, it was part of Cambridge Street. It is the longest-named street in Minecon.

## History

The name was coined in 1985 by Steven Darrell, a person who lived at number 2A of the street. He said he unofficially named the street as "a practical joke". Word of mouth got out and soon the street was known throughout the country, leading to the government to rename the section of Cambridge Street which it laid on in 1996.

Today, due to the street name's length, locals, postmen and even government officials call the street **Llanfair PG Yard.**
Earth

**Earth** is a mythological planet in the Minecon universe, the only astronomical object known to harbor life. This was enabled by Earth being a water world, the only one in the Solar System sustaining liquid surface water. Almost all of Earth's water was contained in its global ocean, covering 70.8% of Earth's crust. The remaining 29.2% of Earth's crust is land, most of which is located in the form of continental landmasses within one hemisphere, Earth's land hemisphere. Most of Earth's land was somewhat humid and covered by vegetation, while large sheets of ice at Earth's polar deserts retained more water than Earth's groundwater, lakes, rivers and atmospheric water combined until its last few centuries. Earth's crust consisted of slowly moving tectonic plates, which interacted to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Earth had a liquid outer core that generates a magnetosphere capable of deflecting most of the destructive solar winds and cosmic radiation, similar to the Mineconian world.

Humans emerged 300,000 years ago in Africa and have spread across every continent on Earth with the exception of Antarctica. Humans depend on Earth's biosphere and natural resources for their survival, but have increasingly impacted the planet's environment. Humanity's impact on Earth's climate and biosphere was unsustainable enough to cause widespread extinctions in the year 2XXX and the end of Earth itself.

Today, in the Minecon universe, Earth is a satire for the hedonism and shortcomings of humans for their failure to prevent cataclysmic climate change, and therefore serves as a cautionary tale for all Mineconians to avoid the fate of Earth.

## Trivia

* It took five years to formulate the lore of Minecon, and three different plans were used.
	+ In the first plan (2018) Minecon was located in Earth itself, somewhere "off the coast of Singapore, but with a strangely temperate climate". This idea was quickly scrapped.
	+ The second plan (2019-2023) had Minecon located somewhere far from the world of the Dream SMP, and part of this idea was recycled into the current plan.
		- The Creator expanded the lore to include Earth as he was unable to find enough names for other parts of lore, such as nameplates for steam trains. He also wanted to make his story educational so climate change could be averted in the real world.
Headland Estate

**Headland Estate** is the older of the two estates on the Headland of Savannah.

## History

The estate was built in 1951 to accommodate refugees from the Siege of Savannah.

In the wake of a construction scandal that found substandard materials in some blocks, the entire estate was planned for redevelopment. The estate was one of the last affected to be demolished, which took place in 1987. It was constructed slightly earlier than its built-from-scratch counterpart, Gwendolyn Estate, meaning that it used the older New Slab and H Block layouts, whereas the latter pioneered the Cross Block layout. Redevelopment was finished by 1991.

## Blocks

Darkwood Hill

**Darkwood Hill** is a large but low hill in northeastern Savannah, encompassing western Duncombe. The vicinity of the area is also known as Darkwood Hill, especially that north of Darkwood Base, south of Darkwood Point, and west of the Duncombe Interchange.

## History

On what is now the Darkwood Hill Museum Complex and part of Darkwood Point was a large house known as Darkwood Manor, an imposing structure facing the sea. Eventually, after a king was murdered in the house, the entire manor, as well as the hill, was abandoned. For centuries local lore had it that Darkwood Manor and its hill was haunted, until the ruined structure was demolished in the mid-18th century.

Eventually, the area was developed as part of rapid expansion of Savannah shortly after Darkwood Manor was torn down.

## Landmarks

The **Savannah Sea Aquarium** is an aquarium containing many exotic species such as axolotls, turtles and elder guardians, as well as less hostile sea creatures.

Darkwood Hill Museum Complex

Darkwood Base, the home of Savannah F.C, is the largest stadium in Savannah, and dominates the lower part of Darkwood Hill.

## Transport

The area is served by Darkwood Hill and Duncombe stations.

The M2 passes over Darkwood Hill, and intersects the M21 and local roads at the Duncombe Interchange, a complex four-level hybrid interchange.

Major roads include Darkwood Hill Road towards Jardine, Neville Road towards Olympia, and Craven Road adjacent to Darkwood Base.
Kensington Estate

**Kensington Estate** is a large private housing estate in southeastern Duncombe, Savannah, just south of the Duncombe Interchange. The estate, built upon a former oil reserve, opened in stages between 1977 and 1979.

## History

Being on the Bay of Olympia, the site was always a lucrative area to build on. It housed Shell oil reserves from 1947 to 1970, when they moved to larger reserves outside of Savannah. Construction started in 1974, and finished in 1979. It was targeted for the middle class.

## Layout

There are 36 blocks, 20 of which are two blocks joined together. These blocks are 20 floors tall, whereas the remaining 16 are 18 floors tall. The estate is bounded by Neville Road, Olympia Road, and Manhattan Street.

There is a three-storey large car park with over 600 spaces, a mall, and schools. Most are consolidated into a single building along Olympia Road.

## Controversies

Being situated in the middle of the M2 and Darkwood Base, the estate was sharply criticised for its noise pollution in the 1980s, and was one of the main setbacks to the expansion of its Neville Road Stand. To this end, the situation was rectified in 1989 with noise barriers on the M2 and parts of the Duncombe Interchange. Furthermore, the latest games at Darkwood Base are required to start at 7 p.m and end at 9 p.m sharp to avoid impacting the sleep of residents, earlier than most other stadiums.
Duncombe Interchange

The **Duncombe Interchange** is a complex interchange in Duncombe, Savannah. It connects the M2, M21 and the Isle of Missenden Tunnel, Darkwood Hill Road, Neville Road and Chester Street, which turns under the interchange. The interchange is four levels and 21m high, and includes eight slip roads.

The interchange is marked as exit 4, 4a, and 4b on the M2, and exit 1a and 1b on the M21.

## Layout

The interchange can be divided into northern and southern segments. The northern section is an interchange with Darkwood Hill Road, Neville Road and Chester Street. Notably, one of the slip roads runs on right-hand traffic (contrary to the usual left-hand traffic) and intersects itself when it becomes left-hand traffic at Chester Street.

The southern segment is a directional-T interchange with the M21, with additional local exits for Kensington Estate.

Flag of Minecon

The **Flag of Minecon**, sometimes nicknamed the **Three Kingdoms**, is the national flag of Minecon. It is derived from the former flags of Menticia, Mineconia, and Aurifence.

## History

After Aurifence collapsed in 1788, Minecon unified into one country, but there were still bitter ethnic tensions that remained all the way from the period of the Three Kingdoms. One of the first targets of criticism in the country was of the flag. While still paraded around the original Mineconia area as a symbol of pride, mounting criticism arose that it was too "imperialistic" and failed to reflect the conquering of the new territories.

A new flag was chosen in 1801, and in the interim blue and yellow-striped variants of the Mineconian flag were used. In the new flag the creator sought to represent the union of the three former kingdoms, and eventually gained widespread support.

## Symbolisms

* The blue-coloured stripe: Derived from the former flag of Menticia. In its current form it represents the liberty and justice that all Mineconians share.
* The red-coloured stripe: Derived from the former flag of Mineconia. In its current form it represents the valor of Minecon and the bloodshed and sacrifices made to achieve their unity.
* The yellow-coloured stripe: Derived from the former flag of Aurifence. In its current form it represents the generosity of Mineconians and the natural diversity and wealth the land contains.
* The white equilateral triangle, while its colour comes from the Mineconian flag, is not present on the historic flag itself. It represents the peace and unity between the kingdoms, and how people put aside their historical difference for the benefit of the nation.
* Proportion: 2:3
Harcourt Road

**Harcourt Road** is a major north-south road running from Glasgow Square in the south to Reclamation Street in the north, in eastern Central.

New South Estate

**New South Estate** is a public housing estate in northwestern Haltraugh, Savannah. It was built in 1986 and was the first estate to use the New Slab structure, as well as the first built over a Savannah Metro station.

## History

Although New South station, located underneath the estate, was built in 1980, the estate proper was not built until 1986, although they had been simultaneously planned. Work was delayed ever further by the fact that construction was slowed while the 1980s public housing scandal was investigated.

## Layout

There are 4 blocks. Blocks 1 and 2 are built on the mountain, whereas blocks 3 and 4 are built above the station. In between blocks 3 and 4 is a park, and on the other side of the road there is a market.

Phoenix City

**Phoenix City** is a large housing estate in northern Richmond, Savannah. It consists of 65 housing blocks, 4 office towers comprising the Phoenix Plaza complex, and a hotel. The complex is named after Phoenix, the conglomerate owning the land.

## History

The area was once originally Refinery Island, an island containing Phoenix Dockyards and Sugar Mills. The Sugar Mills was identified by a large Phoenix sign on top of the building, and was Minecon's major producer of sugar.

By the 1980s, the area had become too small for the large ships in the dockyards, so it closed in 1985. Refinery Island was then reclaimed onto Savannah, and Phoenix City was built on top of the reclaimed land. Construction started in 1991 and ended in 1996., with the first flats opening in 1994. The blocks were built for the growing middle class at the time, and today remains a guide to the average flat price in Savannah.

   Both the Phoenix City Bridge and Olympia Bypass Tunnel were completed near Phoenix City as part of the M10 in 2001.

## Layout and Amenities

The 65 housing blocks are divided into seven distinct "terraces" named after plants. They are further subdivided into numerical blocks, as shown in the table below:

Each block has 26 floors with 4 units on each floor. There is a podium in every terrace with a garden, and in the case of some terraces (Magnolia Terrace, Azalea Terrace and Cherry Terrace) there is also a playground and swimming pool. Beneath the podiums are indoor carparks, shops and supermarkets, one of which was the first Complex superstore opened in 1997.

The estate is adjacent to Phoenix Plaza, a complex of office buildings and a mall.

## Demographics

18,294 people live in Phoenix City, the average age being 36.9 and most people being of Mineconian ethnicity.

## Transport

There is a bus terminus and taxi stand under Phoenix Plaza, with buses heading to Central, Olympia and Camden. Bus route A4 also passes by and heads to Herobrine International Airport.

Phoenix City station on the Savannah Metro is the terminus of the Ocarina Line.

## Technology

The rails are built in a curved fashion, and due to the physics of Minecraft, trains will accelerate to extreme speeds. Therefore, the trains are built to not only go fast, but also withstand the high speeds they face.

## Network

Wistaria Line: Savannah to Cawthorn

Northern Coast Line: Savannah to Winterport Station

Peninsular Line: Savannah to Argleton
Stonks

***Stonks*** is a bronze sculpture installed in 2021, outside the Savannah Stock Exchange. Made by an unknown artist, it is 6 meters tall and shows Meme Man in his signature "Stonks" meme. It is a popular tourist destination in Savannah, attracting many tourists per day.

## History

The statue was created in the wake of the dramatic rise of GameStop's value that occurred over late January 2021. Around midnight on 29 March 2021, the statue was illegally loaded by a crane and a truck. When it was discovered the next day, authorities attempted to remove it, but protests by many people who appreciated the new statue forced them to relent.

## Trivia

* The Creator devised *Stonks* as "the modern-day answer to the [1]*Wall Street Bull"*.

The estate was built in 1945, then redeveloped in 1967 and again in 2018.

## History

During the Siege of Savannah, a large swathe of waterfront at Clamp Bay was levelled. As part of the relief efforts the government decided to build resettlement housing there.
High Street

High Street is a major street in Savannah, Minecon. The street connects the University of Savannah to Church Street and passes through Central. This street is Minecon's oldest, having existed for as long as inhabitance on Savannah, and is one of the four original streets of Savannah (the others are Farm Avenue, Church Street and Eastern Street).

Major buildings on the street include the Grand Hyatt Savannah and Central Police Station, among others.

## Layout

From its western end at a roundabout near the University of Savannah, the street runs east, intersecting United Lane and Barrington Crescent, before entering Savannah Hill and meeting with Broadcast Avenue and Camp Street. The street enters Central after Temple Street merges and Bayfront Road intersects. The M1 passes over a viaduct before merging with the M10 at New Central.

A roundabout connects Eastern Street, before the road continues passing Prairie Street and Pier Road. The street passes the carpark to Savannah railway station, then intersects with Railway Street and Jubilee Street. The road finally ends at Church Street and St George's Road.

## History

The street existed as part of the original Savannah Village in the 18th century, before rapid modernisation; therefore, much activity took place on it. During the 20th century, the once town-like scene was rapidly replaced with towering commercial buildings. Two of the original houses from the Village, one in its original location, the other moved to accommodate the M1, continue to lie on the street and have been declared National Monuments.
