There has never been a game that modeled petty bureaucratic rivalries, police pissing contests, political machine clashes and similar minor conflicts that inevitably sprout up in cities

There's a game called Europa 1400 that's basically entirely about this(maybe also called The Guild). It's somewhat rough around the edges, but probably the best town life simulator I played. I could see some ideas from that game making it's way to Clockwork Empires, like the law system or rivalries between big families.

Awesome, thanks for the tip! The sequel seems to be on Steam; is it equally good? If not, where can I find the original?

I didn't like the sequel at all. I felt that it completely lacked the appeal and cool gameplay of the original, I basically got bored with it after fiddling around for half an hour and never touched it again.

As far as town politics simulators go, the original is imho the best.
