Terra Town is the final frontier. Think of the great outposts of civilization in the whole history of manifest destiny: Independence, Missouri; Singapore; Nassau; San Francisco; Panama City. Think of the glorious ambitions of Fitzcarraldo in the jungle: it’s Fordlandia, but this time built to last.
    • We cannot complete this project without you. There is no future of human civilization without brave pioneers and settlers to make it happen. Forget what you heard decades ago about cramped quarters and long wait times—you will ride in luxury through the cosmos and upon your arrival, you will begin a great new life in the off-world colonies. You will not be under the direct supervision of anyone, instead stewarding a small plot or workshop for the cultivation and/or production of the resources necessary to sustain Terra Town. You will keep the light burning in humanity’s last best hope for hedging against a terrestrial apocalypse. No one can fence you in up here, and no zoning laws or statutes will prohibit private trade and the “lunar dream.” You will get rich, achieve social mobility, and send remittances back to Earth in this time of crisis. Join us!

*All subject to the work points system, whereby your money can be used toward purchase of goods and services in Company or Company-approved stores.
*Because of immigration inflows from nearby mono-towns, only seasonal labor is currently offered in agriculture. You can find off-season employment in sanitation and municipal health in Terra Town or migrate at intervals to nearby settlements, although you are less likely to find such a cheery community in the mono-towns!
