Thanks guys.
Now for
Swenton. Current population: 701,956. Despite this figure, it's still far more suburban in nature than the Marisa metroplex. As you know, it's home to
Swenton Town who were relegated after last season, but are the team with the most NPD titles with Cerise with 9.
People from Marisa don't think of Swenton as a big city, but there's no disputing that it's growing exponentially in recent years. It's not a cow town anymore, that's for sure. But don't take my word for it...here are some pictures:
My favorite public library in the entire country is in Swenton.
Swenton Square is home to the World Trade Center, that orb topped building near Swenton Square Garden is City Hall and of course, the stadium there belongs to the proud of men of
Swenton Town F.C.
Here's a nighttime shot of the downtown area:
North of downtown is a community known as Swenton Gardens. It's fallen on hard times, but is being redeveloped and seems to be on it's way back.
Here's a flyover of the main part of the city. The area away from downtown is the part that's closer to the Fifty Lakes area. Swenton is easily the most residential of any Neloxian big city, most of the high rises you see are residential properties, the commercial area here isn't as big as some of the other big cities in the country. If you look in the northwest corner of this photo, you'll see the University of Swenton, home to
Crystal Stilts who are a Tier One club based in this city and who have a strong following.
The University of Swenton might not boast a Premiership soccer team, but gridiron is popular in Neloxia and their team have won more national championships than any other club in the country.
Part of the reason there are so few association football clubs here is that most young kids in Swenton end up starting their lives playing gridiron, but that's changing gradually. Nationally, the most popular sports are: soccer, baseball, netball and gridiron is fourth on that list.
Still pretty impressive for a small European country, but...we're not the size of a U.S. or Canada. Most of our talented kids go to university in the U.S. to play since playing in Neloxia would make them ineligible since there are no collegiate sports.
The last city to profile is Mapouras which is officially known as South Alzate. Geographically it's a bit removed from the Alzate metroplex, but there was once a time when people thought the two cities would be more intertwined. Right now, Mapouras is more connected with Swenton just because of it's relative proximity.
