Military Power (Varies):
Little (free for Landship, Small, +3CP Normal, +5CP Big, +10CP Capital): Due the small size of your Nomadic City, you have to rely on mercenary power, having no standing military on its own. An attack can doom your city if it is big enough.

Eye Candy (-3CP): Your city is quite a sight, attracting tourists from all over the world to appreciate its beauty, making a great source of income based around its events and parks, or whatever else you put here to attract people.

Assholish Ruler (+3CP): Your political planning towards your citizens sucks. Some Revolutionary Infected Organization slipped in the city? It is obviously the fault of the slums, kill everyone there.

Power Division:

Centered (free): The power of the city is centered around yourself, you give all the orders, and all political parties and institutions answer directly to you, have fun with all the paperwork.

 Royal Systems (Requires centered, -3CP): Even if you are not of true Royalty or Noblesse yourself, the city runs on such a system. Having many people of higher standing acting as a political power of the city, but still answering directly to you, for some reason. You are no longer alone for the burden of paperwork,  but it is not the most effective system 

Governmental Institutions (free): Rather than answering only to you, the powers in the City are divided into governmental powers that still answer to you, but have a sense of autonomy to act to themselves without your input every moment.

 Council (requires Governmental Institutions, -3CP): The City is divided into councils of power and organizations that answer to you as their main leader. It is very efficient.

Black Raincoats (-3CP): You have a death squad under your command, a small unit of the best fixers the money can have, totally loyal to you, and willing to carry any other, from dealing with pests, to killing entire slums in your orders. They are few but very strong, strong enough to deal with isolated or alone Royal Guards on their own if the situation calls for it.

Great Shadows (-5CP): Your city not only have some backers, but very powerful ones, Great Looming Shadows that answer to you, to the best interest of your city, being as strong as an Elite Operator of Rhodes Island, to a minimum of three shadows, to a maximum of ten. Each one having their own power base and tools at their disposal to help the city, and being as shad and discrete as possible too, like Phantoms.

Center of Power (Requires Capital, Royal Guards and at least Influential, -3): Your city is nothing to scoff at, being one of the powerhouses of your Nation, having a great deal of political power and influence in every other Nomadic City besides the Proper Capital, and even then, you can still influence then if needed. Your mobile City is recognized as one of the greatest symbols of your nation, having the backing of its rulers and leadership in any endeavor possible, or in resources in case of need, being able to even borrow the power of Nation’s Army if needed.
