Games like Citystate

Loved how replayable and relaxing Citystate can get? These games are worth a look next.

Microlandia
A cozy little city on top of a brutally honest economy. Every citizen is simulated one by one: they work, pay rent, get sick and turn to crime when times get hard. Set taxes, win elections and survive a newspaper that blames you for everything. Cute on the surface, ruthless underneath.
