Suggest your own world wonders, natural wonders and city-states

[King Phaedron]

SOFIA: Because there is no Cultural City State that gives you extra Tourism aside from wasting your tiles building Bateys and Heads.
(The City State itself can be Military or Cultural)

Buildings in Encampments generate tourism. Classy Bulgarian Officers will turn your Barracks and Stables into Martial Arts Tournaments and Jousting Competitions, thereby attracting 2 Tourism each and helping soldiers to train in a way that is fun.

They will bring their fine collection of rare antique weapons to make your Armory's double as public attractions, when not in official use.

They will adorn your Military Academies with fine works of Art.

But do not anger Sofia, for their SOPHIsticated Spin Doctors can ruin your Tourists attractions with a single smear campaign in favor of their new Suzerain.

Cultural Civs are often weak and neglect their military, but Encampments are especially useful for defense, and Generals will help with that too. This gives you more motivation to construct them and not be such a pushover.

World Wonder: "The Grand Canal"
World's longest artificial canal, built starting in the 5th Century BCE. Re-route an entire river from up to it's starting tile into the sea, up to X(whatevers balanced) tiles long. Tiles surrounding the river now have resources just as if a normal river were there, tiles where the river was change as well.
This would be a really cool, unique wonder that could make it so you can dramatically improve an areas resources the way you want, only one civ once per game obviously though.

World Wonder: Venice Canals
I mean, obviously you know what this is, don't know how to name it without Venice. Must be surrounded by water. Your city center now counts as a port, you can build city buildings on shallow water tiles, in a much later era it generates 5 tourism/culture in the city center.
Again, a super cool unique wonder, allowing you to essentially build out a single island tile into a legit city where otherwise you wouldn't, not sure exactly how to balance it though (if you build a city then try to build the wonder there, but someone else gets it before you you're more f*ed than usual)

World Wonder:Itsukushima Shinto Shrine
Must have founded a pantheon/initial religion start, be built in a shallow water tile: Each citizen under your control counts as contributing to your religion regardless of what religion they're affiliated with.
Wanted to reflect how religions that came to Japan ended up incorporating already established Japanese religious traditions, plus it looks cool

Since the Grand Canal was originally intended, among other things, to provide easy transport for food and other bulk goods to the new capital at Beijing, one obvious consequence of the Wonder might be to provide an automatic Trade Route, counted as if by sea, throughout the length of the Canal and to all the cities on it. This 'River Route' could even be specialized to provide X Food, X Production to every city along the Canal.

Venice: Since only about 1/5 of the population actually live on the island City Center of Venice, the City of Islands (almost 200, I believe) could be a Wonder built in coastal waters adjacent to a coastal city that provides a new tile of land to which the city can expand - possibly including the new city tile automatically having some extra benefits - the city center is, after all, where St Mark's Cathedral and the Doge's Palace are located. That means, rather than being an automatic Harbor, perhaps a combination of Harbor and City Center would be more appropriate - with suitable whopping Tourism bonuses in the Modern Eras.

And about The First Dam of Nile? a very ancient one built somewhere near what's now Aswan dam.

No. I'm talking about his mausoleum.
