Port Phillip is a town founded by frogggggg on January 6th, 2024. Its main purpose is to act as a port town and eventually a trading hub for the Southeastern Zeta region. It is currently unranked, though is likely already at the size for Councillor.
The town is modelled after Australian cities' developments. Building styles are based off of Victorian/Melbournian architecture to a certain degree, and the planning of Port Phillip also reflects the needs of the town at a certain period in time (during the early 1900s, includes a port and a passenger train hub, etc.).
Port Phillip was named after the real-life Port Phillip Bay, which is the bay that the Australian city of Melbourne coasts. The small in-game peninsula that the most dense parts of the city are on (including the City of Port Phillip and the suburb of Rockport) is called Phillip Peninsula as a result.
Port Phillip is unique in the fact that the building style changes depending on the era it was built in. Each town rank (including unranked) corresponds to a certain era. Buildings built during a rank will be made to mimic the style and use of buildings at that point in history. This is why the town will be frozen at unranked until a considerable size to allow for enough historic buildings to made. The following is the list of what rank corresponds to which era in history: Unranked (1900-1925), Councillor (1926-1950), Mayor (1951-1975), Senator (1976-2000), Governor (2001-2025), Premier (2026+). If the city fails to reach a certain quality to realistically reach Premier without major redesigns, the years after 2025 will also be included in Governor.
