Wild West Miner Simulator

You've become the major of a town that... doesn't exist. Nobody lives here, the governor's stupid joke. It's time to get to work and turn this NOWHERE into a bustling metropolis. Mine coal, ore, and gold. Build houses, find oil, bring in new residents, create a paradise in the middle of nowhere.
