City of Dakke

Population: 9,766

Location: Badlands of Okota

Economy: Oil and Agriculture

Dakke has been known for its small town feel in the Badlands of Okota. Originally, the city of Dakke was built on agriculture since the late 1800s. The great Badlands drought hit in the early 1900s and never left the area and the city of Dakke has seen a declining population since then. Once thrived nearly 15,500 people, it dropped to 8,322 one year ago today.

The discovery of oil by Steve Glenida in the Badlands was big news to the Dakke area in the 1930s and Steve predicted billions of oil could be extracted but the technology wasn’t there.

Technology has advanced in the past year and has allowed the ability to drill horizontally to access unrecoverable oil. Since the discovery of this new technology, the population of Dakke has risen to 9,766 and two new oil rigs have opened this year and experts predict hundreds if not thousands to be built in the Dakke area in the next 5 years.

Experts predict Dakke’s sinking population to soon explode to nearly 75,000-100,000 in the next 5-10 years.

Stay tuned for more updates.

• OcramSeattle - Thank you. I am a loyal fan to Sim City, but I have been playing CitiesXL on the side because I like some the features it offers. I am hoping SimCity takes the ideas from CitiesXL and implements them into the new game.
