No, I'm talking about incorpating all of the Sim-type games.
Where in traditional fantasy role-playing games you pick a class like Fighter or Thief, here you would pick classes like "Citizen", "Mayor", "Building Manager", "Golf Course Manager" or "Theme Park Designer"
And they would all interact in their different way.
Its infeasible for a single player game to span single citizens up to mayor level control (or even more with SimEarth), but in an MMORPG, each of the elements can be properly represented.
