National Transportation Centre of the Soviet Union

The National Transportation Centre of the Soviet Union is a building in Moscow, Leningrad Oblast, U.S.S.R. It is the centre transportation hub of the entire Soviet Union, providing passage to all major cities by means of train. Users joining the Minecraft server initially spawn in the upper level of the building. In this upper level, the information and rule board is against the western wall. On the north wall is an inscription of the Soviet National Anthem, and on the southern wall is a list of Order of Lenin members. From this top room, players can take stairs or a hole to the bottom level of the station. On the bottom level, there are buildings inside the building that depict the city inwhich the interior train leads to. Cities currently serviced by the trains are:

Arkanghelsk (Southern fishing port)

Novosibirsk (Northeastern lumber city)

Vorkuta (Northeastern mining town)

Novgorod (Northern farmland civilization)

Leningrad (Eastern government headquarters- authorized service only, railroad usually closed)

Users are presented with the choice of any of these cities to live in (except Leningrad) and these decisions are usually final, unless the Order of Lenin authorizes a change. Citizens can initally visit Moscow, but they can not live there unless authorized by the Order of Lenin. Each city has a smaller train station that feeds to Moscow, and comrades are allowed to use the trains for tourism on weekends. During the week, outgoing transportation from cities is prohibited (unless authorized by the Order of Lenin) and only those travelling from Moscow are allowed to use the trains. During this time, maintainence may be performed on the railroads.

Background:

The National Transportation Centre was built in between the First and Second Revolutions. It was the first building on the site of what is now Moscow. Initially, the building was built and designed by Filmreelriley. the building originally had a triangular roof and the exterior was made of stone bricks. Mcginger_1497 and Cmashburn then told Filmreelriley that the building too closely resembled the Leningrad Courthouse, so he removed the triangular roof, and it immediatley looked better. When Mcginger_1497 came up with the dark wod and white wool colour scheme for the city of Moscow, Filmreelriley liked it and decided to change the scheme of the Transportation Centre to matich the other buildings. After the Second Revolution, Cmashburn used WorldEdit to lift the Transportation Centre up on to a platform, while retaining the same building. Filmreelriley liked this, and the design has not changed since.
