Visit Scenic Fjurthermore!

On Monte's boards, I discovered a lil' Web game that is just my kind of low-impact tamagotchi-type amusement: MyMiniCity.

When someone visits your mini city, you gain population and such. It sort of procedurally grows from there. It also doesn't require me to give them my email address, so it's a double WIN.

Since I already live in the USA, I wanted to put my city some place more exotic, so I tried to find a place I'd never heard of. Eventually, I found Svalbard, an island chunk of Norway, circa 80 degrees latitude with a population of 2400. Sweet! It's a yeti's island getaway!

Svalbard also contains the awesome doomsday Global Seed Vault so that humanity (or at least Norway) will have some plants available in case Monsanto accidentally kills everything with their awesome Terminator seed technology which could theoretically render all plants sterile.

Note: That second part is actually not very awesome.

But for now, the sparsely populated frontier of Fjurthermore could use your tourism. Visit today!
