The ultimate dystopian city 'Magna Santi' with a population of over 6 million created in SimCity



Players of the city management simulation game '

SimCity 3000 ' have created a huge city 'Magna Santi' with a population of 6 million. Magna Santi is thoroughly controlled by police power, and while the number of crimes has been maintained at 0, the inhabitants end their lives without leaving the city, as in the dystopian city that appears in movies and novels. It is said that it has become.

The ' SimCity ' series is a city management simulation game that creates your own city, prepares infrastructure such as transportation and electricity, and develops while responding to crimes, pollution, disasters, etc. However, Vincent Oscara, who was studying architecture at university, came up with the idea of using the third series, 'SimCity 3000,' not just as a simulation game, but as a means of expressing art.

The city, Magna Santi, actually designed by Mr. Oscara looks like this. I don't know what it is from a distance, but ...



If you zoom in, you can see how the buildings of the same shape are evenly arranged and densely packed.



Oscara built several cities on a trial basis to build Magna Santi. Magna Santi, which can accommodate more than 9 million people over a period of more than two years, makes a huge amount of calculations on paper by summarizing the results obtained through experiments of more than one and a half years, such as the law of population growth and movement of people. Was designed.



'The axisymmetric and round design expresses the evil intention of enslaving all citizens forever,' Oscara commented.



There are no useless buildings in the city 'Magnasanti' created by Mr. Oscara. Magna Santi's water and electricity comes from the neighboring city. There are no roads, and the only means of transportation is the subway, which is densely laid out in the basement of the city.



There are no air pollution control measures at Magna Santi, and there are no medical or firefighting facilities. Police deter crimes with close scrutiny and remove the free will of citizens. In this way, Mr. Oscara succeeded in maximizing the population while minimizing the 'quality of life' of the citizens. However, the lifespan of the residents of Magna Santi is short, and it seems that they will not exceed 60 years old.

'Magnasanti has no people coming and going, population growth is stagnant, because the workplace is within walking distance and the inhabitants do not have to travel long distances,' Oscara said. It's like going to a place. 'The graph that actually displays the population and unemployment rate on a yearly basis has almost no movement and is almost horizontal.



In addition, Mr. Oscara has released a movie of how he made Magna Santi, a huge city that took about 4 years to build.

'Air pollution, unemployment, and lifestyle controls are all'compensations paid by residents to live in Magna Santi.' Police power controls residents in an unusually efficient manner, so physical revolutions, strikes, etc. No one thinks of trying to counter the urban system by means. They are slaves only to talk, suffer from illness, and keep the urban system for 50,000 years, and are imprisoned in space and time. ' Says Oscara.
