I think it covers providing basic things like running hot and cold potable water, sewerage systems, refrigeration, electric light etc. (implying a reliable electricity supply), reliable and safe food, and shelter.
You can probably figure out what those things cost you. Even in the US, $15K should (at least could) cover providing them at a comfortable, if not luxurious, level.
