Oh yeah, one more thing before I go to bed:

I've thought for a while that it might be very interesting if 
corruption/waste was mesured by movement points to the capital instead 
of number of tiles.  In other words, distance would still matter, but a 
good road network would do wonders towards improving productivity, etc.  
If it were really based on movement points required I would suggest some 
hack to limit the benifit of rails, since 0 distance to capital would be 
a bit much of a boost.  Maybe have the calculations consider the 
distance in tiles and the distance in movement, and compute the total 
corruption based on some combination.  That could work well for 
cross-water too - Harbors could connect cities across water, like in 
Civ3, but perhaps the total distance would also be mesured.

Not sure how the specifics of this should go, but the basic idea is A: 
realism, and B: infastructure++, so reward building it.
