The same $400,000 will buy you half of Detroit.
Yeah, but in Swett you have a chance of living to see the sun rise tomorrow.
Nice looking place.
Love the sunflowers.
It has a bar/restaurant too.
I bet it’s cold in winter though.
I bet you're absolutely right.
“Freeperville.”
But probably with no High speed internet.
Can I raise the local taxes on my subjects?
So are you WReepers?
Well, with a mortgage......
Or a cheaper option would be to get your country home granted a township.
First, you need subjects. Build a trailer park, and advertise, mostly to retirees with a little money to kick around. When younger folks come along, they'll need jobs so you create a little infrastructure and hopefully your tax base will grow. You own the land, have them build the structures. I don't know if they'll long tolerate you being king unless you're very kind to your subjects or you have good security.
