special interest groups/political parties?

I personally think regions should be allowed to grow organically. Once a province has, just for the sake of the argument, four cities, it's released from the control of the council to the citizens of that region who decide build order, although the President, Domestic Advisor or Council can change those build orders in the event of military strife or wanting a wonder. However, they're only allowed to enforce two builds every 5 turns, so if a region really wants to do nothing in the face of impending doom, it can.

I also think political parties should not exist, but that there should be no ban to members banding together to support each others motions to get them through. In practice, there'll always be hawks and doves, so this is merely the logical extension.

I think political parties are nice, but a bit to much 'overdone'. If we want a complete country simulation, we could just as well put al our money together and buy an west-african country

That african country is a wonderful idea

But until we do that I guess playing the old civ game will have to do
