Coal Country is rife with corruption, with the many mine foremen
“influencing” various aspects of the mining industry in a number of ways. As
the boss of your mining company, it's your job to sit at your desk and plot
where to send your most influential foremen.
By successfully influencing the price of coal, permits, utilities, and
construction, your company can expand and boost the profitability of its
operations. Your job as boss is made all the more difficult by the ever-shifting
nature of the markets, from turn to turn, round to round, and game to game.
It is your responsibility to determine when — and how — to act in order to
capitalize on a potentially beneficial marketplace. If your mine is not built
wisely and safely, a share of your company's profits will be lost after the
end-of-year visit from the mine inspector. The mining company that has the most
money at the end of the year wins.
