I don't need a worker modell to have fun, but there have to be differences 
between cities. The differences should depend on region and size of the city.
Other cities, near the city count to the region.

Correct, the idea to say every city gets an n'th part of the tile it covers 
(borders?) is ok, multiplied with the size and we get an easy modell. Growing 
cityradius could be neccessary for that.
