Town name: Prizugrad Sancti Socialist Republic, or PSSR (Informally known as Prizugrad)
Town theme: Soviet Revival Town
Introduction of your town: I was looking through my father Preznerov’s storage and I found a page of an old book, presumably about my late grandfather Prenin. It's a rough translation and some words may be left untranslated.
"Those capitalists ain’t got nothing running for ‘em, do they?
Back when my father was a young сын of my poor grandfather, an unskilled tradesman, there was a group of capitalist leaders who would enter my old hometown, Chimugrad, every day, preaching their values of an ‘open market’ and ‘natural business competition’. He knew it was a bad idea but the brainwashed politicians didn’t listen. Then, after barely a week of pondering that decision, the дурак whom they called their ‘Mayor’ decided to destroy the communist regime we had in place for so long and decided to open up our economy. Within a year it had all gone downhill. Jobs were lost. Money was scarce. The government’s new ‘free elections’ were rigged so that whoever had the most money would get to lead the town and take even more. Anyone who wasn’t working was considered a “poor крестьянский” and would be brutally humiliated by everyone upon showing their benefit tokens to the shops.
At the age of 18, he took whatever he could and fled Chimugrad. He lived on the streets of a larger city, once again having to confront and be confronted by the fears and worries of an ‘equal and open’ society. Getting a job was easy there, nobody wanted to work in the mines for 16 hours each day. Taking a small portion of what he mined each day, he eventually obtained enough stone to create at least a wall of some sort, for his own town, which would be done right.
He traveled far and wide until he came across a small island. It was untouched.
Through a life of constant labor, my father managed to build Prizugrad block by block, day and night working around the clock as much as he could, taking as much as he needed.
That is the essence of communism. We embrace these ideals in our daily lives, whether by our Community Chest, or by the constant help and support we share among the proud people of our land. There is no ‘hoarding’ as there is enough for everyone, and enough work to progress the town as we need. As it should be"

Why should your town be official: Our town, although not the most aesthetically pleasing, fits a unique niche role in the Elysium landscape. Our architecture is very different from the wooden houses of other towns - we are a town built on the firm foundation of stone and bricks. We openly encourage building uniquely to fit this theme - while some may stick with the tried-and-true stone brick cuboids with wooden edges, players such as 22Wester, Mr_Moko, and Butamou have all put their own unique spins on this, with Mr_Moko building a tower and Butamou making an incredibly fancy house. We openly encourage all members of the town to contribute to the 'Community Chest', a resource building with a lot of chests and utilities such as a furnace room. (We also have a Public Farm Storage, but it’s really just started.) Overall, we feel that, though we are a satellite of Sancti and will remain that way, we have developed our own unique identity and as such would greatly benefit the server if we were to have the honor of becoming an official settlement. Our development since the beginning of this summer has exceeded all expectations, with everything from an underground farm to our very own Town Hall being built in just the past few weeks. We are brothers and sisters of the Empire, but we are also the proud men and women of the PSSR. We will always be the PSSR. Such was true before we joined with Sancti, and such is still true to this day.
