The race for mayor begins with accumulating prestige points. Each city will hold an election and the candidate with the most prestige points, on Election Day, will become mayor for that city. A Mayor controls a great majority of the city's foundation. Each city will have a town hall, which tells a player the total population, tax rates, supply and demand for products and services, jobs available, and availability of housing. The Mayor is allowed to set tax rates, the entire city's zoning, and is overtly responsible for the city's success.

Looking into the Future Star Peace does an excellent job of creating a futuristic environment. One that is believable, colorful, and lively. Hot Air balloons float amongst the clouds, as cars are busy heading from one destination to the next.
