Okay, here's how it works. You can see characters and other structures
inside sub-locations one level below where you are(i.e. you can see a sewer
from a city, and a tunnel from a sewer, but not the tunnel from the city).
The reason you can't see into cities from provinces is because there are too
many people and structures in cities to make out distict ones without being
in the city. The reason you get detailed reports for cities and tunnels,
and only lists for other sub-locations is that other sublocations have
nothing in them worth talking about in detail.
