Political theory starts with the understanding of groups and how they make decisions. Large sets of groups of groups don't really emulate the power structure of small groups (say less than 100 people but more than 10). It seems hard enough to run a small group where everyone feels like they contributed their two cents to the decisions that affect them. And CIV isn't the kind of game where the individuals have perspectives that are hidden and require these structures. ------- Small group meetings and such probably are best understood by MMORPGs, maybe games like EVE online. The individuals job needs to be too complicated for one person to understand. So a network of trust needs to be built up. CIV is ultimately designed for one player to understand everything. It's too simple for a group structure to unfold.
