Area 8

In this Area, the progress is almost always slow. The beginning (before all businesses to 100) is extremely slow if you don't have a really high (99.9999%+) discount from cards, and the high ab to low ac pioneer range is also extremely slow, but then it becomes faster, but not a whole lot faster. If you reach ax pioneers, you will progress at a much faster rate for the rest of the towns. The targets are larger than in Area 7, but smaller than in Areas 1-6.

This video shows the complete list of cash upgrades for this Area, and as many pioneer upgrades that can be shown with maximum possible population.

This article contains a complete list of all business upgrade bonuses as well as milestones for upgrading all businesses of a town to a certain level.

Area 8 is mostly a copy of Area 1 with a few differences. The cash upgrades are similar, with the differences being the multipliers are sometimes different, and the cost for a given cash upgrade is the cost of it in area 1 divided by a certain number, usually between 5 and 10. The pioneer upgrades are also the same as in Area 1, but the multipliers for some of them are different. Some big all profit multipliers were also added, and extra business level upgrades were added in the be/bf pioneer range, causing the business multipliers that are in area 1 to be squeezed in to the bg pioneers range in area 8, close to another set of multipliers also in the bg range, causing progress to briefly be very fast if you make it to this point (only possible by using the glitch to exceed maximum population). Area 8 also only gives x1.5 all profit for business unlocks that increase all profits (some that are a multiple of 1000 and most that are a multiple of 1111), unlike previous areas which usually give x2 all profit and an even larger bonus if it's the 3rd business.
