KING GOVERN YOUR OWN ISLAND
Description
This is one of the more comprehensive, difficult, and interesting
land and resource management games. (If you've never played one
of these games, start with HMRABI).
In this game, you are Premier of Setats Detinu, a small communist
island 30 by 70 miles long. Your job is to decide upon the
budget of the country and distribute money to your countrymen
from the communal treasury.
The money system is Rallods; each person needs 100 Rallods
per year to survive. Your country's income comes from farm
produce and tourists visiting your magnificent forests, hunting,
fishing, etc. Part of your land is farm land but it also has
an excellent mineral content and may be sold to foreign industry
for strip mining. Industry import and support their own workers.
Crops cost between 10 and 15 Rallods per $quare mile to plant,
cultivate, and harvest. Your goal is to complete an eight-year
term of office without major mishap.
To the question, "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU PLAYED?" answer "0"
for a full set of rules, "500" for no explanation, or "1,000"
to continue an old game. To stop a running game and continue
it later, answer "0" to all questions.
This program is available from DECUS as BASIC-8-346, and is
called "POLLUTION GAME. II
