As the regime marks the end of Year 0 and beginning of Year 1, its rapid reconstruction projects see new regime era structures continue to be thrown up all over the place the new 'Work in progress' Calendar Tower Complex which when completed will contain 4 below ground levels of offices and roleplay workplaces as well as be a place for sims to celebrate new years publicly

Despite the repression, the regime president Arthur Lonsdale faces deep unpopularity and widespread opposition as shown by these protestors picketing his tour of the construction of the Calendar Tower.

And being a new sim who's seemingly come out of nowhere to take power, he has no charisma so his public speech sucked and did nothing to gain the people onside

President Lonsdale unpopularity and weakness has given an opportunity to Judith Ward in Del Sol Valley. She demolished her mansion cashing it all in to create a compound containing a new mansion for her, servant and staff quarters and the HQ of her new political party the Simoleonist Party also known as \" § Party \"

Her message resonates with the Del Sol elites and her new interim government is supported. Recognizing the vital importance of university education Judith realized she needed to take atleast one of the Britechester universities and so moved Del Sol Forces in as did the U.S.N. also moved forces in to secure the universities.

The new makeshift barrier's between the opposing states are so far just crude, temporary chain link fencing or metal and barbed barriers.

The Division of Britechester culminates at the historic Library building which has been split right down the middle between east and west. The Interior of the building has also been split down the middle and it is agreed the building will become a neutral diplomatic meeting and negotiating ground between the two sides

Despite faltering support and the loss of neighborhoods to the new Del Sol Valley Republic, the Regime presses on with its radical rebuilding program, completing this shell of what will one day be the Government HQ of the USN as well as the party HQ for the ruling Simmunist Unity Party SUP with the party adopting the diamond 'plumbob' as the party symbol in contrast to Judith Ward and the wests Simoleon symbol for their Simoleonist Party

Even as an incomplete shell, the regime has altered the neighborhood with the demolishing of the historic Casbah art gallery that had stood on this site for generations

There are several neighborhoods that are still unaligned and not officially incorporated into either Del Sol Valley Republic or the Union of Simmunist Neighborhoods. In light of the establishment of proper functional governments, many of the oversea's sim nations have begun to look at reforming their own governments
