A merged group of towns with a shared market. Same-city trade gets cheaper; each city has its own industrial focus.
Treasury, prosperity, land, tax rates and public services. This is your battlefield.
A cross-town alliance. The more your members sell in a given town, the more traffic that town sends to your shops. Reputation is measured town by town, never merged.
Town banks lend against collateral. The regional central bank sets reserves and lends to banks. Listed companies raise capital on the exchange and pay dividends back.
