Here’s another revival puzzle. This time for the Chaconopia concept.
Note: The only function of the values of the roles (see rules) in this puzzle is to determine which role a cell has that fulfills the requirements of multiple roles. However, I have left the wording of the rules as it is to maintain consistency with my 25 previously published Chaconopia puzzles.

Rules:

1. Chaos Construction: The grid has to be devided into nine regions of orthogonally connected cells. Each row, column and region has to contain the digits 1-9 once each.

2. Roles: Cells take on roles If certain conditions are met. These roles increase the value of those cells. Only if none of these conditions, which are described below, is met, the value of a cell is its digit. If more than one condition is met, a cell always takes the role with the highest value.

2.1 Role Mechanics and Values (X = Digit in a cell):
- Farmer (Value = 2X): To become a Farmer, a cell needs at least X cells including itself of its own region in the 3x3 area centered on the cell.
- Merchant (Value = 3X): To become a Merchant, there has to be at least one foreign region that occupies at least X orthogonally and/or diagonally touching cells of the considered cell.
- Diplomat (Value = 4X): To become a Diplomat, a cell has to be orthogonally and/or diagonally touched by at least X different other regions.

3. Clues: Along thermometers digits have to strictly increase from the bulb to the tip. Additionally, for each thermometer all cells must have the same role and can't have no role. It's up to the solver to determine this role for each thermometer individually.

Have fun solving!
