Field notes
The homepage describes distinct responsibilities at each rung: councillors allocate ward funds, mayors manage a city of roughly 300 public buildings, and ministers juggle targets, budgets, and competing lobbies. It also presents consequences as persistent: contract choices can be audited, colleagues may remember favors, and political setbacks can affect a later career. These are descriptions on the game's site, not independently verified gameplay details.
