What about a city building game. Like Zeus/Ceasar?

It can be based in Europe, you need to build up a small european village.
Economy is the trading between your village and other towns, as well as the markets internal to your village, getting grain etc to granaries etc.
You need to keep your citizens happy (Emotion)
Emblems can be used to represent the country you are in, or even different churches you can build in your village.

I've always wanted to build a city building game (Theres even a thread on this site somewhere about Fairy Town).
