Tallinn, Estonian SSR (1960)

Hello, comrades! It's been a while, and I've spent many hours in the editor, but finally I present to you my fourth realistic map for WR:SR. This time I bring you the pearl of the Baltic - the beautiful capital of Estonia, Tallinn.

Since I found links with maps from different eras and could not decide on one, I release a "standard" version of the city of the early 80s and an "alternative" version based on the 1960s.

Note that this is my first map outside of South America and I've never been there, so maybe there may be some mistakes. Any feedback is always welcome. Historically known as Reval, the city has an incredibly preserved medieval old town, part of which dates back to the 12th and 13th centuries, which attracts millions of tourists every year. Located at the crossroads of the indigenous, Norse, Slavic and Germanic cultures, the settlement has undergone many political and social changes throughout its history. Therefore, it is possible to distinguish areas with different architectural and planning styles in the city.

While the Medieval and Gothic style is preserved on Toompea Hill and in the rest of the old town, in Swedish planned areas such as Kristiina, large rectangular blocks with plots prevail. Similar garden communities were founded during the royal era, such as Kadriorg and Nõmme in the south of the city. We have the opportunity to build a new era for the city of Tallinn, which, together with Estonia, will be a key element for the success of the Soviet Union and the happiness of the people. 

Ever since the partnership between Estonia and the Soviet people was... "sealed," the state declared Estonia a model republic, granting some economic privileges and boosting industry by improving roads, ports, and airports. We have also improved the central districts and public service buildings in the classical socialist style. In recent years, we have also developed Russian-dominated residential neighborhoods in Lasnamäe, Musta-Mäe and Vaike-Oismäe.

The city is already built, and it should not be difficult to start developing the central areas and historical center soon. We have a core network of railways and roads that can help mobilize resources and labor where needed. To the east, there is a large air defense base in Lasnamäe. We must decide whether to maintain this military operation, convert it into a civilian airport or use this land to build housing for the thousands of immigrants from other Soviet republics who want to come.

Some suggested goals: (of course you can set your own)

★ Develop all the industries available in the game and achieve economic self-sufficiency by 1991.

★ Attract 250 new Western tourists each year, by ferry from Finland or by air (250 in the first year, 500 in the second and so on).

★ Build and expand the city's tram and trolleybus network. Ulemiste Airport is conveniently located in the center of the map, and the port areas are closer to the borders. The development of this infrastructure can be very useful in the future.

★ We are an integral part of the Soviet Union, but we have some economic privileges. However, imports and exports with Western countries should not exceed 15-20% of the annual total.
