But in CapLab you could focus more on the financial and monetary matters.
Thus the player would be like a secretary of treasury/finance.
Example of a gameplay:
You start the game as a mayor of a city with a huge public debt (almost every country in the world is in debt).
Your duties are:
- - attract Al companies to invest in your city
- provide in the needs of your citizens
- create jobs by attracting Al companies or opening city-owned companies
- balance your city's budget
- pay the public debt
- handle the balance of payment
- provide unemployment compensation
- pay old age pension (social security)
- bailout banks
- etc.
- - collecting taxes, duties and other fees
- issuing bonds (the interest could depend on the rating of your city)
- operating companies just like other Al companies (city-owned companies)
- printing money as long as you have gold reserve
