Of course, different govt buildings could be used to tweak the factions’ relative standing. For instance, the govt building in Yehud (which would probably start off under the control of the “Realm of Artaxerxes”) would probably be the equivalent of a Type 3 or 4 govt from EBI. So, Yehud would have reasonably reliable Public Order, but wouldn’t supply much in the way of taxes or trade income to Artaxerxes.
