Underwater Islands (city)

Underwater Islands is the main capital of the Underwater Islands province in The Samuel Country. The city is the heart of industry in the islands, as tourists first arrive here via Underwater Islands Airport.

History
In late 2019, The Samuel Country set off to conquer territories, as it was starting to run out of land. Fluffy Dragon, the country’s president later found an archipelago that would be a great way to start off a new territory. Thereafter, the territory of Underwater Islands was formed, and the first settlement was formed and named after the territory. In April 2020, a executive airport opened south of the island, known as Underwater Islands Airport. At the same time, the islands’ first rapid transit system opened as the Space Needle High Speed Line (now uLink). Slowly, the city expanded and expanded to where it is today, adding new attractions and residential developments.

Tourism
Since the opening of the city’s airport, Underwater Islands has experienced a boost of tourism, most of the time in the summer. Many tourists visit the central attraction of the city, the Space Needle, which has a rotating restaurant and a observation deck. The local zoo, Botswana Zoo, also experienced a sharp increase in tourism thanks to its interesting exhibits including the two axolotls there, Rodrigo and Pato, which have since become the zoo’s mascots.

SGTV, which is The Samuel Country’s main broadcaster, is the most viewed free-to-air channel in the city. International TV channels viewed in the Underwater Islands also include LBC i.

Sports
Underwater Islands has recently opened a new sports area in the developing district of Crackton, which has a spleef and sumotori arena, as well as a PvP battleground.

Underwater Islands Airport mainly serves the city and is the only airport in the territory. It is the third-largest airport in the country, behind Desert Valley International Airport and Snow Golem Village-Fluffy Dragon Airport. The airport is located approximately 200 blocks south of the Space Needle.
