Disclaimer: Yes i know, many of you may think that Minecraft is a "game for kids" or whatever, but for people like me who were involved in beta stage testing, it is a great program to use if you just want to build cities and towns, not go blow up creepers or anything silly like that. 

 

Overview:

 

I have spent the last 3.5 years making these fictional cities across my minecraft world. I have included everything that any normal city would have: Banks, Suburbs, Skyscrapers, and most importantly: Sports teams. Over the next few days (maybe weeks depending how i feel :) ) i will give you an in depth look at the cities, their baseball teams, and their logos and uniforms from across the decades.

 

Description:

 

The Republic of Coosland is a country located in the South Pacific approximately 700 KM W of Hawaii, covering a vast area of the Alugain Continent. It was discovered in 1735 by British explorer Sir. Lee Ocon. Coosland's name comes from the indigenous Cooslandic word "Coos", which means "Peaceful River". The 1800's proved to be a boom to Coosland's economy as many foreigners seeked a new life in Coosland. In 1876 Coosland entered a civil war, where the east side of Coosland wanted to become it's own independent nation, due to the harsh enforcement of the prohibition that the west brought upon them. The Civil war ended in 1889 with the West on the winning side. This proved to be a very important moment in Cooslandic history, as it showed that the west must appreciate and respect the east's requests and needs. In 1931 the Cooslandic stock market crashed which unfortunately led to a famine like condition for some due to the high expense of importing certain foods. When WW2 came around Coosland maintained Neutrality. The 1980's brought Coosland back into the worlds spotlight as they had a minor conflict with the United States over who owned certain islands, but fortunately the conflict was resolved fairly quickly. Today Coosland is known as a Friendly, Powerfull, First World country, that maintains neutrality, and has very nice year round weather. Many cities in Coosland have strong resemblances to US cities,  due to the amount of Americans in Coosland historically.

Alugian Baseball League (ABL):

The ABL Was founded in 1957 by owners of baseball clubs all across the Alugian Continent (Coos, Lawington, U.T.A; ill get into it later :) ) because they wanted a united baseball league. Therefore the ABL was formed! First starting out with 8 clubs into two leagues, it was tremendously popular among the fans, and quickly expanded among multiple cities across the continent (get into it later). The league colours were designated to be Green (for Coosland), Blue (for Lawington and Aluga), and Silver.

 

So yea thats kinda how im gonna start this thing. C&C/comments/concerns/questions always accepted.
