$4.5 Billion, but just to be safe $6,000,000,000

$4 Billion from the initial Investment, 2 Billion from “Give Half Back” (50% tax on New Oil City company profits)
Considering travel is conservatively looking at $17 Billion from “Give Half Back” in 2017, I feel confident Oil and energy will make up the two.

1. My current favourite New Sparta luxury city improvement idea is “The Rain Forrest Theory” at $6 Billion. The theory being based on the hanging gardens of Babylon, one of the 7 wonders of the world. If they could create a manmade wonder of that magnitude in those days, what’s to stop us from doing the same now?

We will study desalination and wind, solar and hydro energy and create a self powered desalination plant capable of creating a hundred Giga litres of water, enough to ensure cities like Sydney and Adelaide will never run out of water. That’s a lot.

This is my theory, to make a tropical rain forest you need a lot of plants, rain and heat. I’m not sure if soil conditions are a significant factor and I’m unsure if the tropics play a significant part, but Southern Greece is about the same temperature as the Amazon. So if we add a hundred Giga Litres of water and a ridicules amount of plants we will turn Oil City into either the world’s biggest botanical garden, or possibly an actual rain forest.

This will be seen as a true ecological wonder, and make Oil City very beautiful, and of course we need to appreciate the “Chaos Theory” This single act will increase desirability and so property values collectively will be far higher that it’s $6 Billion and as such creating a rainforest is a big money maker. That’s the theory, prove me wrong....

The only thing that could possibly be wrong with the theory is that one can only make the worlds biggest botanical garden out of what was arid ground, to quote Cinzia Busi “Even In failure we strive for perfection”
The cost breakdown.

$3 Billion for the alternate energy desalinisation plant, and upkeep for 8 years.
$1 Billion on pipes and water sprinklers
$1 Billion gardeners and horticulturists
$1 Billion on plans fertilisers and soil

2. My first idea for real WOW in a Greek City, was of course a big Coliseum and Amphitheatre, huge, but built using largely BC building methods, what ever they used back then instead of cranes, let them use that. This is still great, but what about a large town completely built to ancient Greek and Spartan designs, hand build by the sweat of man, I tell you I’d like to lay some bricks in that town, it will be a sign of respect to all construction workers.

It will of course also become an interest point for visitors, again increasing desirability and so increasing property values, and as such a good investment and I’d hope something the Greek Citizens will be proud of.

Cost from $4 Billion.

3. Artificial/reclaimed Beaches

Costs from $2 Billion

4. Winter Skiing

Cost from $4 Billion

5. University Super Hospital

Costs from $2 Billion

6. An International Airport (Not available in all Cities)
Costs from $2 Billion

7. Underground System

Cost from $2 Billion

Total $28 Billion + 3Billlion (reallocation of infrastructure allowance of 25% on amounts over $4B per partner goes to Network City Infrastructure.)

$31 Billion= Initial investment plus $15 Billion made from “Give Half Back”

This will be the level of infrastructure that will be Oil City in New Sparta; I can’t wait to see it in 3D.
