EconomyShadowville has a financial district boasting many corporate headquarters and an armadillo sculpture in the center of it. The financial district also boasts many financial institutions and is the home of the Bank of Jay, the national bank for the Tropical Isles. It gets its food from the farmers in the SideWalk Zone and some areas in the backyard. There's some plants native to the area around the transformer that provides health benefits for the citizens of Shadowville, increasing life expectancy. There's also a number of aerospace companies based in Shadowville. CultureIn Shadowville, it is considered unlucky to have anything with the number 666 on it. also, it is a cultural "do" to respect other people's property, because of beliefs in karma. A cultural don't is mentioning the dark ages from 1997 - 1999. Even though it obviously happened, the citizens of Shadowville do not want to hear about it or be reminded of it. A cultural do is to respect women and animals. Another cultural don't is to be a Nazi in Shadowville. ConstitutionThe first constitution for Shadowville was drafted in 1996, and it dealt with the insects. The 2nd constitution was drafted in 1998, and eventually became so long they had to draft a new one in 2007. The current constitution attempts to replace the rules and regulations of Jerryville in the least the Tropical Isles. The constitution also ensures the safety of the king (the mayor of Shadowville) and the miniature city. HistoryShadowville has experienced a rich history. It also has survived insect attacks, dark ages, severe weather, and earthquakes. Lego Community (1985 - 1995)My miniature city was founded with humble beginnings as a small lego community, with the intent to combat boredom. It quickly grew. It started as just 3 small houses, a church, and a school. When my parents brought back a miniature Washington Monument, the building served as a tourist attraction. Insect Wars (1995 - 1997)Shadowville was attacked by the insects in a series of raids from June 1995 - May 1996. These raids started the Insect Wars, a series of conflicts between the Tropical Isles and the insects in the backyard. At this time, the Tropical Isles was known as the December Territory. By 1997, most insect colonies were destroyed and 10,000 insects died. Dark Ages (1997 - 1999)1997 - 1999 was the darkest times for Shadowville along with the rest of the miniature city world I've built. Technological advancement stopped, the economy slowed down, and the mayor was sick during these times. A low GPA slowed advancement down even further. Recovery (1999 - 2002)By the end of 1999, things began to look brighter. The insects were gone, my GPA was rising, and technological advancement picked up once again. A large scale experiment happened in my room. The experiment was a skyway system connecting all the miniature cities with eachother, kind of like on the movie Back to the Future part 2. Advancement Period (2002 - 2007)Thanks to events in my 12th grade year, Shadowville, along with the rest of the miniature city world I've built, was back to normal. The skyway system experiment was terminated when I got a new room as my graduation gift. So therefore, nobody really knows if the skyway system theory works or not beyond 2 years. Modern Shadowville (2007 - Present)Now, my miniature city is the most sophisticated miniature city I know of, and the most advanced miniature city in the yard I live in. It was awarded city of the year in 2008 by me. As of 06 march 2008, its population was estimated at 11.3 million. I joined the SBCS in 2007, causing even more prosperity for Shadowville. ClimateShadowville is located at the meet up point between the cold air in the house and the hot air from outside in the summer, and the meet up point between the hot air in the house and the cold air from outside in the winter. That is the main reason for the numerous amount of storms the city recieves each year. However, the warning siren has gone off only 3 times since it was founded: June 8th 1995, January 15th 1998, and November 6th 2005.
