This ideal rural place is so different from the rural that I see. But I know it’s just a game, and Countries and areas can be very different.
In the game, the land you inherited from your grandpa can be left along for so many years, no one has already seized it. Even the Mayor has left it along, not put it into some other uses. Maybe it really is very remote, to the point no one thinks it’s somehow profitable.
The residents in this game are not paranoia. They don’t view you as some outsider who wants to take something from them or hurt them. (Edit: Well, some are indeed very cautious.) We had a relative who went to remote areas in their youth, they went back suicidal. There were several neighbours went back from different villages over the years. All of them seem to full of fear. Even us went out receiving parcels or stray cats went by can trigger them. One of the time we were downstairs recycling our things, The neighbour thought we were damaging their water pipes.
And young people didn’t all went away. There are actually many young people staying in this rural town.
Pierre’s store sell genuine goods.
The worst things they experience are having a boring futureless job, loneliness, and without a girlfriend.
But at lease it makes you want to live in it, the people in there are so much better.
Well, I don’t think that’s how ownership works. Grandpa decides to not sell
There are certainly small towns out there in the USA and abroad which are super friendly and kind, wholesome and uplifting. Community still exists. Might be easier if you’re part of their religious in group, or a hippie town
Hahaha but the very unrealistic part is that you’re gonna make big piles of money farming. Then again, that’s probably why you also gotta fish & risk your life in the mines & wander around stealing radishes from the woods
I’m glad that in the US you got to keep your land no matter what. It’s a relief that real community still exists in other parts of the world.
