City/Commune shops contributing to Culture

Ankastra

This just popped into my head - how about city/commune shops contributing to an org's Culture? I'm not entirely certain of how this could be done (so I hope some nice discussion could aid this) but I do feel bad that the local shops do get put on the wayside because of the ease of Plex shopping... (sounds like real life...).

So, if this was possible, how could it be implemented? Items sold, gold earned... or would it be too easy to game?

Would be far too easy to game. You could recycle currency constantly just buying items, trading them for the gold made, restock and resell.

I'd love for something like this to be implemented, but all ways of measuring it that I've thought of would be too easy to abuse.
