What city would be complete without politics and its politicians? Well, a small town admittedly isn't going to get the same kind of big wigs and crime bosses you'll see in a major city, but hey, the advantage of a narrative is that we can get familiar with our petty lords and ladies ahead of time.

As the city expands, the farming community shrinks! But why? In reality, this is a pretty complex problem. We've been hearing about farmers and trade situation, but they've it rough for years, and in my local area there's been a major exodus from the countryside as farming families close up shop and move to the city. However, ten minutes isn't enough to get in it in a real way, and that would be much too serious for Radio Skyline.
