(A plan for Southern Sudan's would-be capital city of Juba, via)
From NPR comes word of a plan by officials in the government of Southern Sudan to refashion some of the cities of the region (which may soon become an independent nation, per an upcoming referendum) in the forms of animals and fruit.
The excellent blog Strange Maps elaborates:
Under the proposal, the regional capital Juba would be laid out as a rhinoceros. Wau, capital of Bahr el-Ghazal state and South Sudan’s second city, is to be restyled as a giraffe. A third one would be transformed into a pineapple. The other state capitals would also be remodelled to look like the flora or fauna in their state emblems.
