Bandar Baru Nipah

== City of Bandar Baru Nipah==

The city of Bandar Baru Nipah was a huge Government project to construct a entire newly built city under the leadership of Syed 'Papa' Panay and construction began in April 2000. The city is still not completed and currently is completley pedestrianised. It is home to the tallest building in Panau and home to the Panaun broadcasting centre, the PBC tower. It is only the second city in Panau and is being constructed from scratch. In 2003-2005 the new President Pandak Panay suspended the construction so he could convert all funds to Military, propoganda and censorship. Construction resumed until the unrest of 2009, where due to widespread violence it was once again halted. However in June 2012  construction finally got under way once again. Due to these interuptions the city is not expected to be completed until late 2017. Authorities say that construction is behind schedule due to 'Terroist Militants trying to halt the growth and prevent the people of panau thriving in prosperity and peace'. The settlement is 45% complete with the only area's open to the public is pedestranised and most of it is offices.

The Construction of the new city was funded by Oil trade with Russia until 2010 with the destruction of a major Oilfield. Now it is solely down to the high taxes paid by the mostly poor Panuan people
