You may be interested in the CityBound project.

It's fairly early on, but it's a multiplayer SimCity like game. One of the express goals is to simulate individual people/families on up to markets and such. I think the project's ideals will resonate with you; the developer wanted a game where people could cooperate to manage a complex system, and learn about system dynamics through play, which is (I presume) the role SimCity played in their life.

It's architecture is also pretty interesting. tl;dr they use an actor architecture to seamless transitions between single and multiplayer.
