This seems to be hard to understand for some beginners, for example, my brother, who hadn't played Total War games before, used to constantly wonder why some of his cities (and most often the -capital-) were producing debt, even when I had told him once or twice.

I think he's finally got it now, after maybe three campaigns (one almost finished, and the third he's playing)... <.<
