Line 13:
Visitors to the town today can see ancient Confederation buildings from the early days of the server alongside modern houses of the Grand Imperium. The city takes inspiration from Dutch cities, with extensive canals, tall gabled 'grachtenpand' terraces and scenic bridges. The city today is largely abandoned after the inactivity of the Grand Imperium; it had within it structures of varied use, including a station, inn, library, shrine, embassy, bank, post office and many houses for workers, all decorated in the black-cyan-white tricolor of the Imperium. The city was renamed New-Amsterdam to mark its rebirth. A train line from Lusitania's capital of Portucale had been under construction prior to it's inactivity.
