What is Citystate?
In this single-player city-building sandbox, you start a micro-nation by designing its map and flag, then lay out residential, industrial, and commercial zones. You choose government policies, set public budgets, and manage trade and economic growth, with most building tools available from the start.
For you if...
- +you prefer economic planning to detailed service placement
- +you enjoy trying different forms of government across cities
Not for you if...
- −you want to plan bus routes and public facilities
- −you prefer guided objectives to an open-ended sandbox
