The name of my city is Blue Crystal.

It has it's features above sea level. It is a 20 -minutes boat ride to other cities . The mayor is the one in-charge of the city. The city mayor is selected by a democratic election. That is, the citizens can vote for the suitable mayor for the city. There is a few main departments which consist of security, health and water and waste management, education and transport. To go in the city you can either go with a boat or an aeroplane. If you use a boat, you will find that the boat only goes with a clockwise motion.
