<H2>Financial Comparisons</H2>
<p>The following series of charts illustrates the municipal operating costs, constructions costs, and materials and resources required to run a present-day, obsolete city compared to a Victory City. Because of Victory City's unique, compact design, most of the internal infrastructure needed to operate and maintain a present-day city can be either eliminated or greatly reduced.</p>
