Patrician City was Patricius Maximus's first attempt at a CJ. It can be divided into three phases; The Original Region, Diversification, and the Storyline phase.

Original Region

In the first few pages of Patrician City, Patricius showed the parent region, Patrician City. As shown at left, the region was one of PM's earliest, and displayed a characteristic newcomer appearance. But, from the outset it showed potential. The region had a population of around 300,000. There were still problems with it, chief among them mild weaving issues, and extensive use of cloverleafs. It did have it's areas of beauty, however, the foremost of them being the Delta Islands suburb district.

After this region was shown and dissected, Patricius moved on to "associate" regions.

Diversification

After the showing of a teaser of a snow-covered region (which Patricius never got around to developing), Patrician City moved on to a city in a volcanic region called Extraea. Extraea, though it had some of the same issues, was a step up from Patrician City. Some at-grade one-way road interchanges could be seen, as well as some farmland. There was labeling in the images, not unlike Nexis of Genesis, and it was Patricius's first use of the Cycledogg Tree Mod.

After the last region of this phase was shown, Patrician City would soon develop a storyline of its own.
