The town of Klingenberg with 1,700 inhabitants is described as an ideal community where residents enjoy prosperity, short work hours, abundant holidays, and a $100,000 annual profit from fire clay deposits. A strict population policy funds city accounts, and new arrivals must pay $425, with favors for marrying locals.
