KINI City: a town built by its followers

Every follower of @kini.city becomes a resident and gets a house in Kecamatan Kini. New residents arrive by train twice a day, at 07.00 and 19.00 WIB, and the map updates on its own.

Pak Bima, the town’s camat, runs the place. Nara, our reporter, covers every new arrival like breaking news. Residents can suggest public spaces in the comments, enter naming contests, and get their names carved on the town’s monuments for good.
