'''FurNation Worlds''' is (as of /January 2007) a group of ten [[island (Second Life)|island]]s in [[Second Life]]. Primarily maintained by [[Nexxus]] and other members of [[FurNation]], it contains public areas for furs to socialize, two [[sandbox (Second Life)|sandbox]]es for building, a Skymall that allow vendors to sell their wares and [[Club Fur]], a virtual nightclub. The land is rated "mature", allowing adult content, including [[pose ball]]s that simulate sexual activities.

Because these islands are currently one of the focal points for furry activity in Second Life, [[lag]] on the islands can be fairly high. There were attempts to decrease lag caused by the numerous buildings on the two islands by reducing the size of the textures being used as much as possible, without sacrificing too much quality.

Initially much of the funds for expansion of the island came from referral and dwell time bonuses. These have since dried up, and so alternative forms of income were and are being explored. Island tier fees are reportedly covered half by rental fees (e.g. L$350/786 sq. m with 350 primitives allowed) and Skymall income, and half by donations.

== Islands ==

The islands are a mix of public features and private land. '''All''' the land appears to be owned by the FurNation Admin group, which can make things tricky at times (it is not possible for users to terraform or return items left by other people, as it is not "their" land). (Note as of Dec 06 this is no longer the case)

Several significant buildings are far above the ground, beyond normal flying reach. They can be accessed by using the teleportation pads scattered throughout the islands..

=== FurNation Prime ===

FurNation Prime is (as the name implies) is the "main" sim. Its official theme is "Egypt in the 21st Century". Several features of the design (most notably the teleporters) seem to have been lifted from ''[[Wikipedia:Stargate|Stargate]]''.

To the far south east is the somewhat luridly-decorated [[Club Fur]], and just west of that are the [[Roman Baths (Second Life)|Roman Baths]] (also known as the Bath House), which is pithily - but fairly accurately - described as a "fucking furries zone".

==== Luxor ====
[[Image:FurNationWorldsLuxor.png|right|thumb|200px|The Luxor]]
Prime's central feature is the FurNation Worlds Luxor, a pyramidal structure adjacent to the FurNation Worlds welcome center in which nightly dances and events are held. The basement of the Luxor used to hold the FurNation Prime shopping area until it was moved to the Skymall.

The Luxor was founded on 3 June 2005, built by [[Selkit Diller]] with later modifications by [[Nexxus]], and basement work was done by [[Wolf Rocco]].

=== FurNation Alpha ===

FurNation Alpha contains the gallery (mature art of variable quality, including some well-known artists such as [[Wookiee]] and [[FoxxFire]]) and the FurNation Worlds Skymall. It also contains some land plots available for rent.

==== Skymall ====

The FurNation Worlds Skymall consists of three separate structures, located in FurNation Alpha, FurNation Aqua, and FurNation Reia. Slots are available for L$100/week as of August 2006, and are a significant source of income for FurNation.

The Skymall previously resided in the basement of the Luxor, but soon outgrew that structure, as well as causing significant lag issues for those just visiting the Luxor (the lag issues are still there, but they only affect those who ''intend'' to visit the Skymall). It can be most easily accessed by using one of the teleportation pads, or any high altitude, flying vehicle (four landing pads are provided.)

=== FurNation Vista ===

Vista is largely occupied by a giant sandbox, in the center of which is an equally large spire. Leased lots are present around the edge of the sandbox, many of which (mostly concentrated in the northeastern corner) sell avatars or pets.

=== FurNation Omega ===

Omega is (like Vista) dominated by a sandbox surrounded by residential and commercial plots. It appears to have been constructed when Vista started running out of room. Notable areas include the Werehouse in the far northwestern corner.

=== FurNation Reia ===

Reia appears to be a mostly residential area occupied by large structures. The northwestern edge used to house the '''FurNation FlyinTails Airfield''' (now simply known as [[FlyinTails Airfield]],) managed by former Furnation Air Marshall [[Effsey Nelson]], until its move to [[Rabbit Valley]] in March 2005.

=== FurNation Aqua ===

=== FurNation Kitsune ===

=== FurNation Kami ===

Kami is owned by [[Ookami Batra]] is a Residentual sim. Some shops are allowed to be built but they are closely monitored by the sim owner and his assistant [[Zerodog Witte]]. Furnation Kami is also home to the Furnation Event Center, a plot of land that has been marked of for use during events as needed. Although the sim is attached to Furnation Worlds, it is independently owned. The Money from the rental plots is enough to cover 1/2 of the sim fee and the owner covers the rest.

==Former FNW Islands==

=== FurNation Tria ===

Tria moved to the [[Fur Valleys]] island group in April 7, 2006, and quickly became known as [[Masquerade Valley]]. Most of the buildings seem to have survived the move. No further information (as of April 7, 2006) is known.

=== Istaria Prime ===

Istaria (owned by [[Crawler Woyosek]],) was a sim located to the north of Alpha, which was added or moved to FNW in late February of 2006. It appears to be half-zoned for rental, possibly following the template of other sandbox areas. Istaria moved to the [[Fur Valleys]] island group on April 5, 2006, when FNW went offline for 72 hours, due to a billing error on LindenLab's part.

== IM info removed ==
I consider IM details to be a tad too personal for general articles; the criteria is the immediacy of it, and the likelyhood of "flooding" the connection, rather like the problems of posting someone's home phone number in a Wikipedia article. Email, being a somewhat delayed system with dozens of easily available filtering options for every client, is a bit safer to post. -- [[User:Siege|Siege]] 03:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Good Thinking!
