MARYLAND

District of Maryland

Maryland is an administrative division of the Kingdom of Mount Vema, a District of the City of Mount Vema Project, and the Capital of the City.

Maryland is the capital of the City of Mount Vema and, will be the seat of the elected government once the city is ready to hold general elections for the post of prime minister and his appointed cabinet. This will be the only district where two owners will share the same unit. In other words, there will be two 5 level houses per floating unit. The typical residential property in this district will have a total unit size of about 12x22 meters, and each house will be about 8x9 meters with a renewable 99-year leasehold (where you buy only the property, the site remains property of the leaseholder).
