Economic Geography

The MarketPlace map starts out completely featureless. Within a few turns, however, the adjacency bonuses quickly force the creation of districts--areas for food energy and machinery. This transformation of flat uniform terrritory into a set of "places" is a good demonstration of how history can determine the industries a region specializes in, even in the absence of local features that favor it.
