Holiday Travel Tips

Posted by zhenkang on 19 December 2016 in English. Last updated on 20 December 2016.

Since it is a holiday for most people now, share your country’s travel tips here if anyone is going to visit your country. For example: Commonia- Before visiting, make sure you have enough Commonian Buc with you as there are very few money changers In Commonia. Other currencies including the USD is not accepted as legal tender, with some exceptions of the West Commonian Buc. Bringing ten thousand Buc into Commonia is like going for an out-of-money experience. These travel tips will be posted here . If any errors found in that article feel free to edit the wiki article yourself.

This is part of your creativity, and based on your country’s unique characteristics and state of affairs. Happy Holidays! Zhen Kang

“If you’re going to Litvania for a few days, you’ll probably want to go to the mountainous regions in winter, as there is a lot of ski resorts and beautiful views of the Koljárvi Lake. If you are heading for Loráva, there are lots and lots of museums, such as the Loravian Natural History Museum. This place is a shrine for all lovers of science, as well as anybody who is interested in the flora and fauna of the Egailian Lake region. There is also many restaurants serving fine local and international food, as well as some specialties. The Nové Mesto (New City) is a place of business and innovation. With its many business hotels, you’ll be very welcomed by the quality of the area.

Around the countryside, especially in the area around of Kolárno, if you run out of money, you won’t have to worrry. Even if it seems stressful and needy to foreigners, for Litvanians, having someone in the house is like having God in the house. Thus you will be welcomed by the many hostels in the area.

The far North is a Lakeland. There are many international class resorts and places to visit. There, nearly the entirety of the population speaks Ingerish, Franquese, or Castellanese, so you will be able to communicate without the “nightmare for foreigners” language that Litvanian is.

The need for beforehand LKR (Litvanian Krona) isn’t needed, as there are many exchanges in the country. The are always marked as Výmmenica.”

Travel Tips for Pasalia- Published by the Department of Tourism of Pasalia -Pasalia is a constitutional monarchy in southern Antarephia. The official language is Ingerish. Its standard currency is the Pasalia Standard Dollar (PSD) although most large chains and businesses at tourist hot spots accept USD as well. Please note that even if ATMs are widespread most people still prefer Cash. Because Pasalia tends to be a nation that as an unhealthy love affair with cars it comes handy if persons over 18 years are in ownership of a valid drivers license. The country drives on the right. Please visit www.pasalia-doft.kp for more information about the acceptance of your countries drivers license. The countries electricity network runs on 230V at 50HZ and uses the Antarephia Triple Bolt Plugs and Sockets. Electricity is free of charge, but your hotel will almost always charge you a set fee, ranging from 4-10 PSD/Day for using their access. People with respiratory problems should carry needed equipment due to the fact that many people still smoke in public and car and factory pollution can lower air quality enormously in short times. Speaking of emergencies: The national emergency phone number is 159 and emergency call centers should have people that are able to speak Ingerish, Castellanese and Franquese. If you can’t find a telephone look out for the ,Public Shelter’ signs which will not only lead you to a safe place but also the adjacent booth which are staffed 24/7. If you plan on bringing gifts for your relatives back home note that goods worth over 18,000 PSD have to be declared and taxed when you leave the country. You may take up to 200 Cigarettes, 8 Liters of alcoholic beverages out without tax. Pasalia is very careful of who is crossing their border so don’t be surprised to be searched. We hope you enjoy your stay in Pasalia and visit www.pasalia.kp for more information. See you soon!

Travel tip for Commonia: “You’re entering a post-truth society; don’t believe everything you read on the internet; find a good map to navigate by; take out an insurance policy”.

Drabantia:

if there’s something Drabantia is good at, it’s organization and unification. In other words, being a tourist in the country is really easy.

Public transport

First of all, buy a public transport ticket. They’re sold everywhere and they’re conveniently priced, thanks to the nation’s obsession with environmentaly friendly means of transport.
They start at $1 (15 minutes), but you can even buy a 24-hour ticket ($10) or a week-long ticket ($60.)
They work in all cities with public transport, interchangeably.
Public transport will get you anywhere around the city; long-distance buses and trains (tickets sold separately at the driver’s) will get you anywhere around the country.

Tourist service

There are Ingerish signs everywhere, even on the countryside (when there are some landmarks around.)
There’s a information kiosk/convenience store chain called Checkpoint with stores on every corner. Learn to use it: you can get free maps, buy cheap snacks and transport tickets there.

What to see

Castles, manors, fortresses, old towns- there are plenty of those.
Take a hike through the wonderful nature (Drabantia is the world’s number one in nature conservation and protectment)
The country has a lot to offer to architecture enthusiasts. In the mountains, there are wonderful folk wooden houses. The Lower Luhava region is known for its rustical brick buildings and Drahns are packed with modern concrete and steel structures.

Weird laws and traditions

No smoking in public. You won’t be able to light a cigarette in many restaurants either.
Before entering a public transport vehicle, step aside the door and let the people get out. Then enter.
Drabantia’s economy is not based on tourism at all. The people will appear friendly and helpful, but deep down they feel raw contempt to you.
Never be loud in public. People will passively-agressively stare at you.
When a public vehicle is crowded, you don’t try to squeeze in, but you wait for the next one. No physical contact with strangers!

If you’re looking for adventure, visit the Federation of Drevet and Wustesonne! Whether it’s hiking the dormant volcanoes in southern Wustesonne, soaking in the fabled Miraju Sea, or conquering the dunes of Eastern Drevet, The Federation is an adventure-seeker’s paradise!

Since Conabaras is currently having a civil war…

EMERGENCY TIPS IN CONABARAS * Whenever encountering any tribal nomads, please show them the security card you gained in the airport, since these nomads are rebels that Conabaras is at war with. * If you’re being attacked anyway, please report to the nearest building. * In any case of an alarm, please evacuate to the nearest War City. * Outside of the hotel, wear a blue tie so you will be protected or noticed by the government. Whenever a raid or a bombing occurs, you’ll be protected. * In case of bombing, please go to the underground shelters and bunkers, and the government advises to stay in those Shelters at least for 2 hours.

Even if there’s a war, remember, Conabaras will protect you, and during civil wars, all prices are lowered by 50%! So thanks for visiting Conabaras!

@UltraWorlds LMAO ,,You may be bombed to death but hey… atleast these new BBQ flavored chips are 50% off’’ Really funny ahaha

Comment from UltraWorlds on 19 December 2016 at 17:29

Nah, I really meant more that any emergency resources like water or food, or shelter basically is lowered by 50% off, since what do you think, you see an atomic bomb but you say “Hey, if I die, at least I’ll get those brand new shoes I always wanted!”

Comment from PColumbus73 on 19 December 2016 at 17:30

Travel to Conabaras, show rebels your government issued security card, get attacked anyway! :-P

It sounds like civil wars are common in Conabaras. Is it like siestas where people just start killing each other at specific times? Like, Civil Wars are likely to erupt between 6PM-9PM daily?

This is important information, I need to know before I book my flight.

Freedemia

http://opengeofiction.net/#map=8/-3.050/0.676

Be prepared for warm weather- Freedemia is located on the equator so weather stays pretty warm year round
Freedemia celebrates what much of the world celebrates as the commercial side of “Christmas” with the tree and gifts on New Year’s Eve/Day!! Presents are opened at midnight New Year’s Day.
Public Transit is the best choice for getting around Freedemian Cities. We don’t yet have a uniform transit pass, but each system like Quentinsburgh’s QUARTA have discounted day, 3 day, week, month, and year passes that are way cheaper than paying each ride if you ride frequently.
Intercity Rail and Bus are very robust and the best way for getting between cities (though FreedemiAir and their few domestic flights may try to convince you otherwise)
It’s probably best to fly in through Quentinsburgh and then take rail or bus for most western Freedemian cities like Laneston/Vandover, Graham City, and Reedsboro, fly in through Franklinsburgh for cental or eastern Freedemian cities like Lake Grander, Anneitasburgh, etc or either for places in between like Personsboro or San Grande.

Woolonia

Honestly, between raising tensions between traditionalist rebels and the modernist government/civilians and the new development that the rebels have access to synthetic poisons and other new weapons, it might be best to have your Woolonian friends and relatives come visit you instead. Woolonia may be better than some places, but it’s currently not very stable.

Karolia has pretty relaxed border controls, and visas aren’t required for most countries. You can drive through from neighboring countries without showing a passport.

Everyone speaks Inglish, so don’t worry about learning the difficult local languages. But watch out for regional spelling variations.

Be aware four different banks can all print banknotes with different designs - check the value before paying. Karolia still uses cash for most transactions.

The high-speed trains are very quick and affordable buy check you are in the right class - there are three. The Saisraud gets very full in ski season so book in advance.

Cars are not recommended in cities - the public transport is comprehensive and cheap. However in remote regions you will need your own transport. Beware of avalanches, rockfalls and snow (you will need winter tyres) and locals who have little time for dithering tourists. Also be aware that on derestricted motorways some large cars will genuinely drive as fast as they can go, so if you do use the overtaking lane be prepared to have a car approaching at 250km/h flashing and hooting at you to move over.

Don’t attempt to get a siikesilla unless you are of Karolian descent - they are heirlooms, not souvenirs. Do get yourself some tickets to a concert - Karolia is famed for music, particularly at this time of year.

If you travel to Auleus renting a car is recommended as in the countryside there is severely limited public transport (although their are okay trains between Carran, Borderville and Kaalmburg as well as some towns along the way) and in the city it is also recommended as the public transport their is also limited and there is not much traffic although the amount of public transport is being improved. Rental cars are relatively cheap though as there is a deal where UCCC cars are sold to the rental companies at a half their normal price.

The main language in Auleus is Ingerish, although in Kalmburg and Carran, Kalmian is also spoken sometimes. In the far north of the country Eus (a native tribal language is also occasionally spoken)

The Holidays are a great time of year to visit Tirnua! Although late December typically ushers in the rainy season, it is also the beginning of our Southern-Hemisphere Summer. So get out those bathing suits and summer clothes, and come spend a few days on the beautiful beaches of Tirnua. After relaxing with the dunes and waves, be sure that you don’t miss the restaurants, holiday-decorated palm trees, and charming old town of Port Gorm. You don’t speak Eirie Caeltig (Gaeiltig)? No worries - Ingerish is widely understood here as well.

So what are you waiting for? Come down to Tirnua for the Holidays!
