Factions list

Zeitgeist is a defining factor of the council and faction system that ties together with the Idea Tree and Council laws. All ideas and laws fit onto the axes of Survival, Economy, and Society. Each community tends to favour a certain position on each axis.

The city will also favour an ideological position due to the player's actions, such as construction, research, and laws passed. The current Zeitgeist of the player's city can be viewed as bars in the bottom left of the screen.

Ideological positions

The ideological positions for Survival are called Adaptation and Progress.

The ideological positions for Economy are called Equality and Merit.

The ideological positions for Society are called Reason and Tradition.
