Fort Anfree 2020 - Terraconserva Olympic Bid

Fort Anfree

Located in the heart of the nation, Fort Anfree embodies the spirit of the United Commonwealths of Gagium. Founded in 1633 by brave Quebecshirite explorers, Fort Anfree grew into a beacon of hope and liberty by Gagium’s independence in 1822. Since then, the people of Fort Anfree have strived to make the city a globally renowned bastion of democracy and freedom.

Today, Fort Anfree is Gagium’s economic and cultural capital, as well as a globally connected city built on human rights and individual liberties. Downtown Fort Anfree offers both city natives and visitors world class amenities, including the nation’s best restaurants, bars, shops, hotels, night clubs, theatres, museums, free internet, and more. The city’s people will help make any and all visitors welcome, whether they are from Greater Sacramento, Reia, or Xusma.

Fort Anfree is also home to numerous state-of-the-art sporting facilities that are easily accessible and connected by public transportation. This has earned the city the informal title of Gagium’s Sporting Capital, and any Olympians visiting the city will see why.

Overview

The Fort Anfree 2020 Olympics will occur between (idk whenever enough people apply and whenever Furby wants to start?) to (whenever all events are scorinated? This will be up to Furby), while schools are closed nationwide and many families will be looking forward to vacationing. The vast majority of venues will be located in or around Fort Anfree, and all of these venues will be connected by road or by bus. The majority of these venues will be accessible by light rail or by subway.

Additionally, several new venues will be constructed at the Fort Anfree Olympic Park, which will be specially built for the games. The Olympic Park will include housing for the vast majority of athletes, which may be reused as affordable housing for the city’s impoverished ones the games conclude.

Once the games conclude, some of the newly-constructed venues will be relocated or torn down while others will be given to local sporting clubs.

Visitors and spectators of the games will enjoy high-speed internet and all the amenities Fort Anfree has to offer. The city’s government and the Commonwealth of Rachelia will help ensure that businesses are welcoming towards tourists and make the appropriate accommodations for the influx of visitors who may be unfamiliar with the Quebecshirite language.

High speed rail will connect Fort Anfree with other cities that will be hosting Olympic football games.

The city is serviced by Autoroutes 1 and 12, as well as Rachelia State Highway 450, 37, 90, and 290. These high-capacity freeways were built to improve the city’s transportation and to lift the burden off of public transportation networks. Many of these freeways run close to athletic venues that will be used for the Olympics.

Georges Deloffre International Airport, managed by the Fort Anfree Aviation Authority, serves the Fort Anfree Metropolitan Area as well as about 45 and a half million passengers annually. The airport offers exclusive amenities to passengers, including restaurants and shops. Maps of the airport in several different languages will be available to visitors.

The city offers scheduled bus services that will be available to both athletes and spectators. A fleet of buses and vans will be borrowed or purchased from other cities specifically to transport athletes and domestic/foreign media to venues and hotels.

Safety

During the duration of the Olympics, the Rachelia Department of Transportation and the Fort Anfree Department of Transportation and Department of Public Safety will ensure that all transportation options are well-maintained and safe for travelers both familiar and unfamiliar with the Quebecshirite language. Translated public transport network maps in several languages will be provided to hotels for distribution. It is important to note that Gagians drive on the right.

The renowned Fort Anfree Police Department will be working with the Rachelia Commonwealth Police, Fort Anfree Parish Sheriff’s Office, and neighboring police departments to ensure that the Olympics are safe. An increased number of patrols will be conducted by police agencies to ensure that the city is safe during the Olympics. The Royal Investigative Service will help Georges Deloffre International Airport staff screen passengers and identify potential threats to the Olympics.

Police Officers will help respond to emergencies at Olympic venues and will also provide security at the locations of these venues and the Olympic Park. All spectators will be screened for weapons upon entering a venue. Should an emergency arrive involving a possible armed gunman or terrorism, the FAPD Special Crisis Unit will be on standby, along with the Gagium Army Police Corps. The Gagium Coast Patrol will help with operations wherever needed and will also be on standby.

Local EMTs and fire department staff will be working overtime to accommodate the Olympics, and services will be offered 24/7. Local hospitals will also be put on alert and will make appropriate accommodations for the games. In addition to this, paramedics may perform patrols at venues in accordance with Fort Anfree 2020’s plans to ensure that the games are as safe as possible. Volunteer medics will be recruited to help keep the games safe and ensure that response times are low.

Team doctors and medics will be welcome and will be allowed to bring any needed equipment. They will also be allowed and encouraged to provide medical services for their teams along with Gagian doctors. However, valid proof of medical training will need to be provided to Gagium.
