As someone who could find such a thing interesting, I googled a bit and there seems to be some RPGs with more of that focus, although I think people mostly play video games for that: https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/city-building-management-rpg.859198/ https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/city-building-manage... https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/ll6z4d/games_that_have_a_city_building_type_of_mechanics/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/ll6z4d/games_that_have... https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/2zazc9/rpg_systems_where_the_focus_is_on_city_town/ https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/2zazc9/rpg_systems_whe...

The ASOIAF RPG, Pendragon and the Border Princes region for Warhammer Fantasy all have some type of feudal lordship elements in addition to the usual RPG fare for example.
