I appreciate the clarifying questions yert527.

What type of RP are you looking for? Playing a single Character who are in-charge of other this civ sim (mayor, king, ect...) or something more god-like?
A character representing the face of a town/country/corporation. So as well as the actions of building and managing their city/empire, can allow for scenes of interacting with others, such as other players and NPCs for negotiations, peace talks, etc.

Who would be writing the material? Are you interested in writing descriptions for things (building, town, people, systems, whatever) yourself, or just make decisions and expect the GM to let you know how it grows.
I'd say between the two. So the GM could say this is your land, for example. What does it look like, what are the noteworthy features, etc. That way if players want to give lots of details they can, and if they are more comfortable being minimalist that means the GM doesn't spend a bunch of time on stuff that is ignored.
I played a game on here years ago based on Shadowrun, where players were corps and organisations, gaining influence, business, causing fights, etc. Whilst we all followed the same rules, the way we could apply the theme to us gave an interesting twist. I made the HUmanis Policlub, being all nice and social from the front, but aggressive behind the scenes.
The character or face for the group gave a bonus to a specific action, chosen at setup, so a description was able to be given of the leader helping feed the poor, or doing a merger with another company, and so forth.
