I’ve taken a short break from the Chaconopia puzzles to consider whether it’s still worth the effort to create them, even though they only have a fairly small audience.
However, I have come to the conclusion that it is simply my way and my style as a puzzle setter to invent and explore unusual variations and concepts, thereby contributing to the diversity of puzzles on this portal. For everyone who enjoys discovering these unusual concepts.

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: In cages marked with a black dashed line the values have to add up to the total given in the top-left corner of a cage.

Have fun solving!
