It's somewhat old, but the Caesar series might be what you're looking for.

  Isn't that more of a city builder, like Sim City? I only ever played Pharaoh, so I may be off.

    It does start off like that, but I think after you start an industry within your city, you gain access to empire management, where you start organizing trade between other cities, building roads, managing armies, etc. It's been a long time though, so I might be misremembering.

      It's really mostly the cities, outside of the city management is really secondary (at least in Caesar and Zeus which I have played the most). I strongly recommend the whole series, they are really great games.
