There are plenty of old typewriters lying around. Although you would still have to take precautions like getting rid of it afterwards and make sure it does not make use of polymer tape ribbons (in which case you would have to destroy and discard that as well).
Take a look at this table http://www.economist.com/blogs/dailychart/2011/08/americas-f... to see how income is distributed in the US between the states. New Mexico has received over two-and-a-half times its 2009 GDP more in federal spending than it has sent in taxes over a twenty year period. The equivalent for Europe would be akin to Greece getting over $760 billion. Yeah, Europe has to work on its "union" aspect a bit.
There is also Mobility (http://www.mobility-online.de/en/informations/generalinforma...). It was designed by a university and auto manufacturer so they put a bit more thought into their traffic algorithms. I feel it is a bit eurocentric because there are a lot of things they do in Europe which we do not do here as far as traffic management goes, but it is an interesting simulation/game to fool around with. Since the German federal government also played some role in its development, you will see more of a bureaucratic approach to the game.
