The Kingstown Project

Kingstown is the capital and largest city of Agawaskway. According to KGM Data, the city has an urban population of 3 002 000, with the Kingstown Grand Metropolis (KGM) having a population of 6 418 000. The region is quickly growing, with people from all over the OGF world moving and mapping there. It is one of the world's truly cosmopolitan cities.

Moving one step further, the greater region of Southwest Agawaskway (SWA) adds more distant cities to the "Kingstown" label, as well as very rural areas on the outskirts of the city. Combined, SWA has a population of 6 970 000.

The Kingstown Project is part of the closed collaborative territory Agawaskway, but is open to everyone wishing to contribute. All you have to do is message varnel_maiser with what you want to work on. It's a really straightforward process, and there's something for everyone in this project.

Note: "The Kingstown Project" encompasses all of SWA.

From mapping ethnic enclaves in the city, working on realistic local and regional public transportation networks, and understanding complex administrative structures that form every government, there is always a need for mappers to contribute to this project. That's right, we need you to help us build this city.

Government

In Agawaskway, land is divided among municipalites, and organised within into Wards.

Agawaskway has a two-tier system of municipalities: think of them like counties and the towns within them. Local government responsibilities are split between the two. There are 2 two-tier municipalities in KGM (+3 in SWA):

Paravier Region
Waters Region
Arlo County (SWA)
Moore County (SWA)
Enderby Rural Municipality (SWA)

There used to be another region that grouped Halkerston, Forberg, and (the late) Raster, but that was removed in a recent reorganisation. The province also has single-tier municipalities, where the town and county are merged to provide more efficient government. There are 4 in KGM (+2 in SWA):

Kingstown
Forberg
Halkerston
Seeburn
Garrison (SWA)
Flennigan (SWA)

What to take from this:	Agawaskway is divided into many municipalities of different types, and you can claim one for yourself.

Indigenous Treaty Lands

Certain areas of Agawaskway are set aside as treaty lands to local Indigenous peoples. Local Indigenous Councils have special rights in these areas that affect planning, zoning, and other regulations that have an impact on what the map looks like. Major industrial development should be avoided in such areas (on a case-by-case basis), instead featuring amenities like universities and casinos. In KGM and SWA, these are the current locations of Indigenous Treaty Lands (names are subject to change and will be updated here accordingly).

Mitigowi of the Island (All of Ward 01, Kingstown)
Mitigowi of the Lake (Most of Ward 51, Kingstown)
Bain River Treaty Lands (North part of Iridium, Masterton, and the Mines) (SWA)
Sakahi 76a (Entirety of the Township of Sakawakosie) (SWA)
Sakahi 76b (Entirety of the Town of Sedgey-Rankner and the Town of Wenceslas) (SWA)

The Deodeca Council is still working on the rights and current situation of Indigenous peoples in Deodeca, so everything is still subject to change. New ideas are always welcome.

Note: Right now, I am thinking that in SWA, Local Indigenous Councils' (LIC) special planning powers mean that development in Treaty Lands can provide amenities or spaces that nearby municipalities (and the province) are not willing or able to provide, like casinos, special retail areas, etc., should the LICs approve of their development.

Transport

Kingstown is connected internally and to other regions by a set of of land, sea, and air connections. It has a dense network of commuter railways and urban rapid transit in KTM Transport (KingsTown Metropolitan Transport), a set of highways connecting every part of the region, and many airports and seaports for further journeys. Here are some transport projects and their leads.

What to take from this:	If you like planning transit and transport infrastructure, there are plenty of options available in Kingstown.

Rail

Railways are the lifeblood of transport in Agawaskway. Planned primarily by kengoman, they provide various types of services for the province. Here are some important agencies and who currently leads them.

KTM

Type: Railway
Lead: kengoman

KTM is a hybrid network of commuter and rapid transit railways that connect the Kingstown Region. It is inspired by Australian rapid transit systems, specifically in Melbourne. It also takes inspiration from GO Transit for its commuter services.

It runs 24 hours a day on some lines, and operates overnight bus services on others.

AWRail

Type: Railway
Lead: kengoman and varnel_maiser

AWRail is the provincial rail transport operator. It operates both passenger and freight trains, and runs coach buses for regional trips where rail does not operate. It takes inspiration from GO Transit for its coach services.

HSD/DecaRail

Type: Railway, High Speed Railway
Lead: 🤷, kengoman

DecaRail is the national railway operator for Deodeca. It runs long-distance trains, overnight trains, and the High-Speed Deodeca (HSD) network. HSD is a HSR system, where trains frequently exceed 250 and 300 km/h on stretches of the line. Its primary route goes from Liernase, AG, to Stonesipher, IA, passing through Kingstown.

KCBT

Type: Tram, Light Rail, and Bus
Lead: Mie, sudo91, and varnel_maiser

KCBT (Kingstown City Buses and Trams) is the city's local transit operator. It runs local buses and tramways across the city of Kingstown. It also runs the KCBT 1/2/3 lines, a fully-grade-separated light metro system that runs along former Queen line tracks. It takes inspiration from the TTC in Toronto and PTV in Melbourne.

It runs a network of night buses that provide a basic level of service overnight.

Other Local Transit Providers

Type: Tram, Light Rail, Monorail, and Bus
Lead: varnel_maiser

Other cities and regions operate local transit agencies that connect with each other, KCBT, KTM, and AWRail. A list of major agencies and features is provided below:

Highways

Kingstown is surrounded by highways of different types.

Urban-Rural Dynamics

KGM will feature a unique style of urban growth (compared to its RW inspiration): while subarban sprawl in the traditional American sense exists, KGM's population centres are more concentrated and less continuous. This means that urban areas will see higher densities than Canadian and Australian cities, and will be separated by primarily agricultural or open space lands.

What to take from this:	Kingstown will have a unique, somewhat experimental kind of urban fabric.
