D&D: a Tale of Two Cities Greetings, being that I’m new and I noticed this D&D sub forum, I thought I would pose a few questions for discussion and or debate. Now I have to admit, I have not played D&D since 1st Edition (stop playing around 1987), but I did buy the recent 5th edition core rule books, for reading purposes. I would like to discuss the social, political and economic possibilities that the cities of Greyhawk and Baldur’s Gate would be presented with, if they existed in modern day USA. First the background data for each city: Free City of Greyhawk Baldur’s Gate Now for purposes of placing these two cities into different geo-political regions, but not polar opposites, let’s say for the sake of discussion that Greyhawk is in Northern California, and Baldur’s Gate is in a Mid-Atlantic state (Maryland, perhaps). The greatest difference between these two cities is the population difference, Greyhawk having roughly 3 times the population of Baldur’s Gate. Both however have the same system of governance leadership, both are Oligarchies. Now here is the discussion / debate issues: 1. Which of these two cities would be more likely to change its governance type and elect or appoint a single leader? 2. What form of governance would that most likely be? (ie. Dictatorship; Monarchy; Constitutional Monarchy; President; Prime Minister). 3. If both cities chose to have one leader, which leader would they likely choose: Jeb Bush; Donald Trump; Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders? 4. Would either of these two cities be more prone to having more progressive or more conservative policies? If so, which would each likely be? 5. Which of these two cities would you rather make a home for you and your family, based on its original descriptions or our newly constructed versions? I am very interested in reading what you all can come up with.

Fojar38 posted:Free City of Greyhawk is Communist and therefore perfect in every way. So you're saying that Greyhawk would likely go with Bernie Sanders? Mind you, as socialist as Sanders claims to be, if he were elected President, he would be beholden to big business and billionaires regardless of his own political beliefs. I would like to ask, does Greyhawk strike you as being more communist than Baldur's Gate, and why?
