Europa is a remarkable and innovative underwater community located in the eastern sea, directly east of Cloud Top, between Oldeshire and Vallachia. This unique settlement, connected to the mainland via an underground train tunnel with access to the Nysa Line, represents a pioneering approach to underwater living.

Overview

The community of Europa consists of 11 underwater domed rooms, all interconnected by walkways. Each dome is designed for a specific purpose. The domes are constructed using gray and yellow concrete, incorporating extensive glass sections to provide residents and visitors with panoramic views of the underwater environment.

The Main Dome is a central feature of Europa. It includes a tall shaft that reaches the water's surface, allowing boats to dock directly with the community. This structural design facilitates easy access to Europa from the surface.

Europa's Entertainment Hall serves as a cultural and social hub, featuring a stage and ample seating for performances and events. The Capt. Obvious Memorial Hall is a dedicated park area, commemorating Captain Obvious (1986-2013).

The community includes three Bedding Complexes, providing residential spaces for inhabitants. Bedding Complex 3 and Bedding Complex 1 each house 6 apartments, while Bedding Complex 2 contains 7 apartments. These complexes offer comfortable and modern living accommodations underwater.

The Central Trans Port Hall functions as a communal gathering space, fostering social interaction and community activities. The Cartographer’s Guild Dome is dedicated to the guild of cartographers, highlighting Europa's commitment to exploration and mapping.

Europa's self-sufficiency is further enhanced by its Biodome and Agrodome. The Biodome is dedicated to growing grains, while the Agrodome is utilized for cultivating wheat, potatoes, carrots, and sugar cane. These agricultural facilities are essential for the community's food supply and sustainability.

The Food Storage Dome plays a crucial role in Europa's ecosystem, being used for grinding, processing, and storing food. This dome ensures the community's food security and provides a vital link in the chain of self-sufficiency.

Living in Europa offers a unique underwater experience, combining the practicalities of modern living with the beauty and serenity of the marine environment. The extensive use of glass in the dome construction allows residents and visitors to immerse themselves in the aquatic world, observing the diverse marine life and the tranquil underwater landscapes.
