(What starts the second page is Game Design Studio or something. ROTFLMAO! 9 
to 5, 5 day a week job? Maybe for SOME! LOL! Giving oneself a job in one's 
own mind is a different entry on the Jobs Lists than office work. I'd 
probably assign AT LEAST 1 die (3.5) of risk separation if not more. office 
game designer risk ~5/16; unaffiliated game designer risk 9/12)

The six societal values are productivity, prosperity, creativity, 
spirituality, authority, and knowledge.

Societies

Authoritarian
Built up with a focus on authority, authoritarian cities are reminiscent of 
Fascist dictatorships such as Italy under Benito Mussolini or Hitler's 
Berlin, or the fictional London in Airstrip One from George Orwell's 
Nineteen Eighty-Four-complete with surveillance cameras, secret police, 
propaganda ministries, opulent buildings for the leadership, and slum 
housing projects.

Capitalist
Focus is on prosperity. Capitalist cities feature buildings such as 
department stores, skyscrapers, stock markets, corporately-owned condos, and 
major company headquarters.

Contemplative
Focus is on spirituality. Buildings include cathedrals, pagodas, 
monasteries, evangelical centers, megachurches, dojos, and golden statues of 
Buddha.

Cyberpunk
A futuristic city built with the use of knowledge, prosperity, and 
authority, complete with flying cars and holographic sport stadiums.

Fun City
Focused on creativity, a fun city is built up entirely of venues to maintain 
the happiness of its citizens. Buildings include ferris wheels, carnivals, 
zoos, casinos, water and amusement parks, and candy shops.

Industrial
Mainly producing productivity, industrial cities are primarily made up of 
polluting industry, slum housing, high crime, sweatshops, and factories to 
produce various wares with a Roaring Twenties feel to it as venues such as 
pubs, speakeasy and Union Halls
Romantic
Focus is on providing prosperity to the Sims while maintaining cultural and 
artistic elements. Buildings include concert halls, opera houses, baroque 
fountains, and cobblestone streets, like Rome, Venice or Paris.

Small town
A tribute to small town Americana. Focus is on small scale spirituality and 
prosperity. Buildings include windmills, sheriff stations, butcher shops, 
diners, drive-ins, and farms.

Haunted
Hidden profile included as an easter egg. It functions on a smaller scale 
than other profiles and is built up with buildings including graveyards, 
asylums, dungeons and haunted houses.

Normal
An average North American/European city with no extremes on social energies. 
Buildings include a mix of buildings from the societies listed above. Also 
some futuristic technologies and some older housing or decorations.

Buildings
In SimCity Societies, there are four types of buildings: power plants, 
houses, workplaces and venues. Houses are where citizens live (granted the 
Sims are not homeless), workplaces are where Sims work (granted the Sims are 
not unemployed) and venues are places that provide happiness to citizens. 
Power plants provide power to the city, and generate income. There are also 
decorations, such as plazas and sculptures.

The loose affiliations between buildings and moral factors are;

Fame
Housing - Units/Population

Fortune
Businesses - Units/Population

Happiness
Venues - Units/Population

With powerplants being a straight forward issue for the fourth building 
type.


Buildings will produce a bivailant value for "happiness" depending upon the 
ratio of its Societal Values and its Cultural Bias toward Habit or Novelty.

Habit (Authority, Productivity, Spirituality) : Novelty (Creativity, 
Prosperity, Knowledge)

Directly opposed opposites are;
Constraint : Authority / Creativity

Support :  Productivity / Prosperity

Access : Spirituality / Knowledge

Societal Values
There are a total of six values that you either promote or suppress to 
create the city of your dreams - or nightmares.

AUTHORITY (Habit)
Opposite - Creativity
Opposed - Prosperity, (s) Knowledge
Aligned - (s) Productivity, Spirituality

CREATIVITY (Novelty)
Opposite - Authority
Opposed - Productivity, (s) Spirituality
Aligned - (s) Prosperity, Knowledge

KNOWLEDGE (Novelty)
Opposite - Spirituality
Opposed - Authority, (s) Productivity
Aligned - (s) Creativity, Prosperity

PRODUCTIVITY (Habit)
Opposite - Prosperity
Opposed - (s) Creativity, Knowledge
Aligned - Authority, (s) Spirituality

PROSPERITY (Novelty)
Opposite - Productivity
Opposed - (s) Authority, Spirituality
Aligned - Creativity, (s) Knowledge

SPIRITUALITY (Habit)
Opposite - Knowledge
Opposed - Creativity, (s) Prosperity
Aligned - (s) Authority, Productivity

A buildings function (compound buildings later.) is related to the six 
societal values; productivity, prosperity, creativity, spirituality, 
authority, and knowledge.
A building can produce societal values, income, happiness/unrest, training 
(Talents), workforce, items, and/or shelter/protection.
There's decoration too but that seems a tad superfluous. for me to talk 
about it that is, I've only relatively recently been putting effort into 
'top of the model' and actual 'role-playing' aspects of role-playing games.
Buildings usually require a certain amount of a given societal value (or 
more than one) as well as the monetary value and Technology required to 
"unlock" the ability to build such a structure.

The rule of thumb here is that a modern North American/West European 
requires about 1 athletic field of arable land to be fed.
Depending on the lifestyle, they also need space to waste.

How many of 'em do ya got?
