 My Mini City lets you create a new village (without registering) and then see it grow as new unique referrers are pointed towards it. The city I just created, Blogoscopia, can be seen above in its current near-empty status. But others cities like Barbelith are already much bigger, sometimes showing impressive skyscrapers.
By default, linking to your* city will increase its population when people click the link. But once the city grew a bit, new links on the city sub-domain become available to grow specific sectors – say, linking to blogoscopia.myminicity.com/ind/ will increase the city’s industry, whereas .../tra/ will push its transport facilities. With this incentive to create backlinks, I wouldn’t be surprised if MyMiniCity.com reaches high PageRank and keeps gaining traffic over time (the homepage currently has a PR5, with around 21,600 pages on the domain – many to most of them their own sub-domains – indexed in Google). The site was created by Motion-Twin, who exist since 2001 and call themselves the “leading provider of online games for the French-speaking public.”
