The United Imperial Kingdom of Posillipo and Astey - USNW

Athanos is the capital city of the Kingdom of Posillipo, as well as the capital city of the United Kingdom of Posillipo and Astey. It is situated on the Bay of Athanos, where Karpathos formerly sat (look back to maps). Originally only home to a small town with the original castle and few houses, Athanos is has grown to be a world leading city, as well as the largest city in the Kingdom of Posillipo. Today we'll take a little travel through Athanos.

We'll start off with a mosaic taken at during the day, it's a little stormy in this picture but hopefully it'll clear away soon.

Great, it's starting to clear up, but sadly it's starting to get dark. As capital of Posillipo, Athanos is home to the Royal Palace of the Vasilisa, or King/Queen (currently queen), and the legislative buildings:


It's also home to the department buildings, some of them shown here as it really starts to darken.


Aw, the rain and fog are starting to come back, that's Posilliponian weather for you. We see a picture you might remember from the scrapped "City of Karpathos", it's the Saint Ettiene's Basilica.


Great! The rain's gone now and there's only a little fog left, we can see downtown Athanos great now! What a picturesque city Athanos is.


Now that we made it through the night we can look at the Dientene District. This is one of Athanos's older districts that's starting to get revamped with newer buildings. What a pretty day is is.


This is one of the newer additions to Athanos, the "Port Athanos." It was built in the last few years to replace an older, smaller port that was there. A lot of land was reclaimed and new port equipment was built, as well as the new bridge. Off to the right are some ships of the Posilliponian Navy running routine patrols.


I'll leave you with a nice night picture of the port, with the bridge all lit up, it's actually a nice little picture.

Tierre
Tierre is one of the small towns in the Commonwealth of Carpathia, a dependent territory of Posillipo and part of the United Kingdom of Posillipo. Tierre is not just the island I'm showing, but this is the downtown and this is were the majority of the shops are it is one of the most popular vacation destinations for Posilliponians. Carpathia is located just south of the equator and is a predominantly tropical climate, because Posillipo discovered the island and settled it the architecture is more of a Mediterranean style than you'd normally find in this area.
