Population: 1

CU Elsie Eiler is the mayor of Monowi, a tiny town in northern Nebraska, USA. But that isn't her only job. She is also the town clerk, the town treasurer, the librarian, and she works in the bar. Why has she got a lot of different jobs? Because

CU Monowi is an extraordinary sight. There are about twelve old wooden houses. They are all i empty and are surrounded by a few trees, some old cars and lots of rubbish. The town is completely silent. An old yellow school bus, with no wheels or seats, stands next to the smali school. The school closed 40 years ago. Opposite Elsie’s bar is an old building, filled with rubbish. It was a shop but it closed in the 1950s. Even the church has been closed sińce 1960.
