Today, we profile Enterprise, a teeming city of 170,000 in South York.

Noplace in the region is more dedicated to free enterprise and miminalist government. The commercial tax rate is 2%. The residential tax is 6%, a third lower than the Simolay average.

There are no public schools in Enterprise, and the only reason there is a hospital is because Simolay Protectorate requires public administration of healthcare facilities. There are no parks, plazas, or other government-run public amenities. No other city with a population greater than 10,000 is without a public transportation system.

And yet...it works. Economists say that if tax rates are low enough, a city will grow almost no matter what.

As one might expect, there is great diversity of incomes in Enterprise. The super-rich live side-by-side the very poor, as you can see from the screenshot. The photo shows what is called "The Burg," rows of low-income housing. To the north and northwest, you see the highrises of the well-to-do.
