Structures & Buildings
Community Hall
Aryina City Community Hall, (sometimes called Aryina City Town Hall) is a community hall in Aryina City. It contains information about plots and has a trading board where players can post trade offers on signs. It can also be rented for events that players want to hold.
Central Square
Opposite of the Community Hall is the Central Square. It's a square where players can gather to meet, buy, sell and browse. Six individually coloured market stalls are in the square and players can purchase these stalls and add shop signs to them. They can also sell from them manually every Sunday when there is a market. The Central Square is part of the Shopping District of Aryina City, meaning Aryina City Mall is nearby. The market was built as icooliam's second proper build, and is the third oldest part of Aryina City. The square was renovated along with the paths of Aryina City and the base has been changed from cobble to stonebrick.
Aryina Mall
Aryina city mall is the city's official mall. The stylish modern mall is under a mountain, a river and an island, meaning the mall has skylights with great views of the bottom of the sea or the great blue sky. The mall is part of the shopping district of Aryina sity and is very near the central square, meaning that shoppers will already be near the new development. During the construction of the mall, there were plenty of complications because the mall was built aside a shallow river, but the efforts paid off as customers can now enjoy amazing sea views whilst they shop. The mall includes many facilities including luxury spacious stock rooms for store owners and clean and fresh and free toilets for shoppers. The mall will be extended at some point in the near future, meaning there will be room for more services.

Features
This city has a border feature known as "NightClose". These specialist borders feature iron doors that open at 6am (sunrise) and close and 7pm (sunset). They are mainly used to keep mobs out from unlit out of city areas but also slow down the rate of players travelling in and out of cities. These two gates were paid for by Aryina City Government.

Ownership
When Aryina City was first founded it was in complete ownership of icooliam, however as time passed residents of the city believed there should be more owners of Aryina City, so icooliam created the Aryina City Government with himself, samyboyz and two anonymous residents of the city who won a vote. Ownership was declared no longer as purely icooliam's, but instead the governments. In late 2014, icooliam announced he was leaving MinecraftOnline, and left his place in the city's government. Sadly, shortly after his departure government meetings stopped, and power ultimately fell to samyboyz. The city crashed, with the controlled plot system left untouched, the uniformity once found in Aryina City was gone, and private storage of icooliam was broken into.
On the 23rd of October, 2016, icooliam returned and declared himself owner again of Aryina City. Getting in touch with previous members of Aryina City Government, he hosted an emergency meeting with just two government officials, the meeting ended with plans to build a 'Return Tower', clean-up Aryina City, and bring new visitors to the city. The position of samyboyz as a government official has not yet been declared.
