The best way to study for AP Economics! No prior experience required

Do YOU have what it takes to build and run a city "Beneath the Surface" of 5000 hamsters, with only what's "Beneath the Surface"? (Econ, hint hint)

In Subterranean Capital, you must maintain your city with tools such as Interest Rate, Taxes, and Spending Categories. Every move has an impact on the economy and the happiness of the hamsters that live within. If you screw up, that could be wraps...

Advanced Tips and Tricks (From the creator!):

• Once you unlock the ability to modify spending categories (at 15 hamsters), crank utility to 90% and housing to 5% or even 0%. Housing grows very quickly, and takes up spots, so you don't want to fill your grid with housing before utilities can catch up
• Rezoning is usually needed after population hits a certain point. To do so, move spending for the category you need less of to 0, then click a building of the category and delete it. Delete lower level buildings first, so you don't lose too much
• Keep a good eye on your hamsters tab. There, you can see their happiness and money, as well as breakdown by wealth class. Can't have too many rich hamsters!
