This update is in three parts, the first is a fact sheet I had some time to make.
Part 1 - Fact Sheet
CASCADIA
BACKGROUND:
In June 2010, the leaders of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and California got together for an environmental meeting. During the meeting, Premier Gordon Campbell of BC jokingly suggested that he thought the best way to protect the forests of the Pacific would be to create an independent nation. He argued that the forest could be better protected if the same laws and bylaws were in effect along the length of the Northwest Pacific. The leaders of the American states could find no major cons about this idea. On January 1st, 2011, Rodyl Damor was sworn in and the papers signed. The Pacific Nation of Cascadia was born.
OFFICIAL NAME: Pacific Nation of Cascadia

5.02-03: After too many accidents at this intersection, The city approved a redesign, and upgrade. Before and After.
5.04: This is the SkyRise Hotel and Casino, the first casino in Douglas Falls. I don't know why they built it right next to the legislature. Maybe the MP's wanted to gamble after work :D
5.05-07: Here are some shots of the outskirts:
Part 3 - Richmond West
This last part is an introduction to Richmond West, the Urban area I showed you in the teaser. The whole city was plopped and layed out first, while in pause, then watered and powered and unpaused. Richmond West is built on the west side of Lulu Island, where real-life Richmond is built. YVR (Vancouver Int'l Airport) is the island at the bottom of the page.
5.08: This is how it was plopped and layed out.

5.09: I guess the Pan-Am guys wanted to build their building in the suburbs. I've solved the Sheraton hotel multiplication problem.
5.10: Hmm.. what could be going here?
5.11: Maybe this? You see all those parking lots? Each tile, plopped. That took forever :D
That's all for the moment folks. Check back for the next update, where I'll show you around Richmond West some more.
