MID SEPTEMBER 2018 - UPDATES

 New University being built in Coveville, West Seaward 

Seaward Islands is building its first educational campus in West Seaward, in unincorporated Coveville. The land used was from the Greenspace Initiative Act, which passed in Downtown's Seaward Court granting limited uses for greenery expansion. The university is still undergoing construction.

 North International Railport still under construction, causing delays in transit for Seaward and Triway Citizens 

The North International railport construction recently stalled, and has now picked back up due to construction conflicts. As a result of this, United Island Federation's Macintosh Int'l (located in Applause County) has reported a loss due to the lack of economic stimulus. Citizens of the Triway nations have to either wait in Seaward Islands or go back to their nations due to this. Triway citizens (Ekanta Isl. and Savannah Isl. use Seaward Islands as a transit point when traveling to UIF via Beltway West. Both governments are under communication in regards to this.

 Seaward Citizens under frustration due to constant Beltway West congestion by Triway citizens 

Seaward citizens are frustrated due to Beltway West congestion. The western portion of the Beltway, while located in a lesser populated area, is always busier than other portions due to Triway citizens using it as a transit point when traveling to United Island Federation. One citizen stated "I currently live in Southgate, and it is a nightmare trying to commute to Midtown via Beltway West during rush hour. Downtown has less congestion than BW West at times! I suggest that a bypass be built around Seaward to connect to United Island Federation, but something must be done to clear the international traffic in our area." The Seaward Government is in talks with Triway Nations representatives as well as C.O.I.N (which all aforementioned nations are apart of, and that has some power over conflict resolution) in regards to this.

 Seaward Government grants loan to United Island Federation's Roadway Project 

Seaward Islands granted a loan aid to the newly incorporated nation's transportation department. S.I.T.A (Seaward Islands Transit authority) had a surplus this quarter, so the government authorized a portion of the surplus be used in the financial aid bracket given to UIF. The United Island Federation representatives thanked the Seaward authorities, and said that this would help extend the northern nation's road network. UIF representatives have said that they plan to extend UIF-32, their major highway network, to connect to Applause County (where their local railport connects to North Seaward International, McCokepede County, Orion County, and a northern portion of Lithia County in Shepherd.
