Geography
Kazeshima is an island city and comprises of over 50 islands (mostly very small). The main island which is named after the city is part of an archipelago with neighbouring cities like Shahai, Shenghua, Santa Abeja and Nueva Seriadé. This made land connections difficult as getting to the MRT mainland from the Kazeshima mainland involves crossing another island (Shenghua).
Kazeshima's mainland is a plains and forest island, with beaches on its edges. Afforestation efforts are planned to create more forests and natural parks. Artificial hills have and will be made; for example, Kōriyama was made for the 2023 Winter Olympics.
Kazeshima also has claims to many small islands to the east of its mainland as a artifact of its early expansionism, like the Far Islands and Eumi ward. The larger islands are closer to the snowy MRT mainland to the southeast and make up the majority of the landmass of Eumi ward. The smaller islands are split between Naka-Kazeshima and Eumi.

Learn
Optionally: If there are opportunities for travellers to study in this city -- from language to cooking classes up to full university courses -- add that here.
Work
Optionally: What possibilities are there for travellers to earn money in this city? Note that this is kind of long-range and probably won't be appropriate for most destinations.
Buy
The travellers' dirty secret: we like souvenirs. What would be good to buy in this city? Local crafts? How about general shopping -- clothes, travel equipment, other? Give general tips about what to buy and where to shop in the city, preferably pointing to district pages for the full scoop.
Eat
For general points of where to eat out in the city. Mention any local specialties or oddities here. Avoid specific restaurant info; leave that for each individual district page. Instead, try to name districts where restaurants are plentiful or of a particular quality -- say, if there's a Little Italy or a Chinatown or such.
It's perfectly OK not to have any individual restaurants listed, but if there are particular restaurants that are landmarks for the city, you can mention in which district they are located and give a reason why they're called out specifically. Do not create long lists of individual eateries; these belong in the individual districts.
- The beaches of District 3 offer oceanfront seafood patio dining, as well as a diverse collection of takeout stands on the pier.
Drink
For general points about bars, clubs, and other nightlife in the city. Yes, many people go out to clubs and don't drink; the name of the section is still Drink. Mention any local specialties or oddities, and give a general idea of good areas of the city to try. Avoid specific bar listings; instead, put these on the district pages. Instead, give pointers to bar areas, nightclub districts, great streets to try.
Unlike an attraction for See or an activity for Do, it is rare that a single bar in a city big enough to use this template is a significant landmark. If you insist on a mention that "Cheers" in Boston was on the telly a few years back, follow the same pattern as for the other sections - name it, indicate what district it's in and explain why exactly it's notable but leave it at that. The other details go on the district page.

Connect
Information on communications -- phone, Internet, other. Give information on cellular phone coverage in the city. If there are free or paid wireless Internet hotspots in the city, name them here. If there are a few convenient Internet cafés or other computer rental stores, name them here, but leave the detailed listings to the district pages.
Stay safe
This is a section for general safety tips. If there are health hazards or crime problems in the city, list them here.
Cope
This section is for all those little items that people need to know when they're in a city. What media provide local news and information? Where can you get a babysitter? Attend religious services? Anything that has to do with the practicalities of daily life should go here.
Also include embassy listings here if applicable, but only fill out the name, address, phone, and url fields (to conserve space in long lists). This section contains individual listings for embassies, high commissions and consulates as these are not split into city districts. Embassies in all but name (such as Taiwan or mainland China representative offices) are also included.
Don't put something here when it could fit in one of the other sections. Don't list every minute thing a traveller might need or want, if they could easily find multiple options with a quick Internet search. If there's nothing to put in this section, leave it out.
Embassies
In major capital cities the list of embassies (and High Commissions, if the city is in the Commonwealth) is a long one; this is also true of New York City as one of the two primary United Nations cities. In large cities outside the capital, this section will normally be titled ===Consulates===; in Commonwealth capitals like London, Ottawa or Canberra this will be titled ===Embassies and High Commissions===.
