By "creating", I mean a player creating the village or city of his/her character will rule, like Crusader Kings 2.

I would say that that makes sense if you assume that the city didn't exist until your character founded it. If it's already a going concern, and your character comes in and takes charge, through inheritance, revolution, or election, then it wouldn't be necessary.
