Altejago said one thing that got overlooked, roughly that factions are built in their leader's image. This is very true, especially if you founded it. So that's what you own, that's what leader's "get". You're the architect. It's not your house. Maybe you don't like the person who lives in it, but you can't do anything about it. But that window and that arch will look that way to whoever enters the house because you built them that way.
If you build a turdo house, the next guy to buy that plot of land will bulldoze it and it will disappear without a trace. But build a sick-nasty house and even though new tenants and owners may change the wallpaper or add an extension, that thing is still how you made it. Talk about putting hard work in: that's the reward.
