Overview

With a metropolitan area population of approximately 3,000,000 inhabitants, Payens is one of the largest cities in Osturland. The nation was founded in 1320 A.D. and shortly after that date, Payens was founded and selected as the seat of the Osturland federal government. Osturland has a proud and rich heritage that comes from the Templar Knights, Osturland’s founders, and the Crusades. Today, this heritage can be seen around Payens in its plazas, parks, government buildings, and people. European history comes alive in the city with its mixture of old and new architecture as well as diverse architectural styles, which combine the best Europe has to offer. Payens is divided into several wards or districts. Each has something different to offer. The Government District is the home of the Osturland Parliament as well as the home of the Prime Minister, Payens Citadel, and numerous other government buildings. The 2nd Ward is home to the Ministry of Finance and the Jubilee Dome. The 3rd and 4th Wards constitute the bulk of the Osturland finance districts. The 7th Ward is the planned home of the Simlympic Park.

While Payens is the government center of Osturland, it is also one of the leading commercial and industrial cities in the nation. As a city of international prominence, the city officials of Payens know how to accommodate large scale events. Most recently, HRH King William Gardannes Jubilee Celebration was held in the city. The event attracted spectators, diplomats, and heads of states from many of the nations of the world.

Financing

For the Simlympic Bid, the Prime Minister Bernard W. Rigaud sought the permission of the Osturland Parliament, the Office of the Lord Mayor of Payens, and the blessing of HRH King William Gardannes to form an exploratory committee for the feasibility of a bid. After careful consideration it was the recommendation of the committee that Payens develop a formal bid for the Simlympics. The proposed financing for the Payens Simlympics includes multiple sources. The largest sum would come from the Osturland Government. The federal government has set aside 3.75 billion euros of tax money for the construction of new Simlympic Venues throughout the city. The city of Payens is prepared to spend 1.25 billion euros in the form of support cost for the event. This includes a new subway line designed to connect several of the planned Simlympic Venues, increased security and fire protection services, and the creation of new green spaces around the Simlympic Park and Payens. Finally, several Payens investment groups will provide an additional 75 million euros to develop and construct a Simlympic Village for the games.
