Unless there is a great engineer handy, of course. Merit Prah, whoever he is, can build that bank in no time. Or if your civilization has built ankor wat, you can reassign farmers to be preists and they will build the bank while creating revenue simultaneously.Landmonitor said:

- If you lived in a city, you would spend you could spend your entire life building a monestry only to have your scientists discover 'scientific method' meaning all your lifes work has to go up in smoke
- You don't have to go to work if you disagreed with the war.
- National Health Services are cheaper because you only need one hospital per city.

- Great Prophets would pop up in the 20th century and the help build as specialist things like Supermarkets.
- There would be no unemployment, no economical crisis, states would grow and grow, especially through war
- if there was unemployment, it would be because people aren't happy, not vice-versa.
- there would be ecological police state theocracys who are sacrificing tousands of slaves to build faster some recycling centers.

-- London has spent 10 years building the Eiffel Tower, blissfully unaware that they are building one in Berlin and another one in Rome too (after all, Eiffel Towers aren't very big or easy to see are they, very easy to miss one). Suddenly, news comes through that the people of Berlin have built one. Instantly the citizens of London demolish everything they've worked at, somehow convert all that steel to gold and hand it all to the Government.
-- Homer is still alive and well and performing in London
-- on account of Homer's performances, the whole rural northern coastline of France suddenly swaps nationality and becomes part of the UK.
-- but when a big city tries to do the same, it has to ask the UK for permission first. If the UK says no, the city spontaneously implodes and all its inhabitants commit suicide.
-- a city can have half a million inhabitants but noone's thought to build a grocer, hospital, or supermarket there.
-- in an age of nuclear power, every city still needs that old forge to keep its production up
-- despite the best efforts of scientists, sugar, rice and wheat mysteriously refuse to grow anywhere other than the few locations where they were first found in 4000BC
-- the ancient city of Rome spent its first 2000 years with wild horses daily roaming all through its streets but nobody noticed because the emperor's wise men hadn't yet discovered animal husbandry
-- even though you don't yet understand how to build a road or have any written form of communication, you know about the existence of artillery, nuclear power and the possibility of building the Internet, and you know exactly what things you'll need to get your wise men to research and in what order in order to get them.
-- Women's lib came to England, Spain, Egypt and Russia in the year 4000BC. But will never ever spread to any other countries.

Baghdad is still under air attack because picasso painted a nice picture there.
Because of maintenance costs and crappy production/growth Britian asks Argentina if it would like the falkland islands. Argentina says no.
The swooping motion of a sword ,from a skilled swordsman ,is enough to frighten a damaged helicopter into exploding.
The Chernobyl nuclear accident was cleaned up by a just a few men with brushes.
A London Underground strike was halted by Tony Blair making a deal with America for some yummy spices.

Russia and Japan are still fighting over Sakhalin... neither side wants to keep it and pay the maintenance.
Christianity is a homogenous faith, and all Christian nations love each other. Martin Luther built the Church of the Nativity and Henry the 8th never had the chance to rule thanks to the multi millenial reigns of Victoria and Elizabeth.
Here's my favorite... America had to discover fascism to build Mt Rushmore.

A one for the EE3 modders:
The European governments are the only nations in the world and leaders decide the fate of far off places without ever leaving the city.
Military-Industrial Complexes are nationalised.
The Chinese Chinaware market is easier to crack if you give the Chinese leaders opium.
Peter the Great marched his troops to the Urals and then...stopped.

Police states have free speech, free religion and emancipation.
Despite a free market economy, grocery stores and theatres can only be built with tax revenue
Despite free religion, the government decides where and when all religious structures are built and funds their construction.
Broadway, Hollywood and Rock-n-Roll are the products of huge, expensive government research programs.

The British Empire won a Domination Victory in 1900 AD (OK they only had 25% land but no else did better). Alternatively the Greeks won a Cultural Victory in about 500 BC. Or the UK won a Diplomatic victory in 1945 AD. No one since Germany in 1939-45 AD has openly tried to get a Conquest Victory, no manned space ships are anywhere near Alpha Centauri and as for Score, well we'll have to wait another 44 years. 
Oh, and the very biggest cities may have a population of about 40.
