Apple announces plan to build $1 billion campus in Texas
Apple will build a $1 billion campus in Austin, Texas, and establish smaller new locations in Seattle, San Diego and Culver City, California, the company said Thursday. The tech giant based in Cupertino, California, says the new campus in Austin will start with 5,000 employees working in engineering, research and development, operations, finance, sales and customer support. It will be less than a mile from existing Apple facilities.
The other new locations will have more than 1,000 employees each.
Austin already is home to more than 6,000 Apple employees, representing the largest population of the company's workers outside of Apple's Cupertino headquarters, where most of its roughly 37,000 California employees work.
[...] The company also said it plans to expand in Pittsburgh, New York and Colorado over the next three years.

- A war zone of your choice.
Hell, even some war zones still collect taxes.
I read an interesting article a while back about some of the ISIS controlled territories and how they were actually running a government including garbage collection, wastewater treatment, etc., and collecting taxes.
I don't think this is the same article but it seems to cover the same ground: The ISIS Files: When Terrorists Run City Hall [nytimes.com]
