    Don't bother with this one. Jump straight to Citystate II. It's a much improved version of this one. But, if you really want to play this one, know that this is not like SimCity. SimCity, City Skylines, they simulate cities focusing on urbanism and infrastructure. Citystate focuses on political economy. The whole focus is on budget and policies. But Citystate II does it better.

    Probably one of the most brutal economic system in a city builder I can appreciate the realism of socialism being damn near impossible and anarchism ironically necessitating the constant slaughter of protestors by the army since living conditions are so bad. best i've managed is my agrarian utopia where every thing was cheap and everyone was poor and the government ran the banks and the liquor stores

    Pricey, unhandy, very simplistic, and you can only build monorail which also isn't any good... if it'd cost around 5 bucks, perhaps it'd be worth it.
