Commerce, Gold, and Science Support Apolyton

I am afraid I am still stuck in the CtP1 mindset, but I think I am missing some point regarding commerce.

What does commerce represent on the ranking chart? I usually am far behind in commerce (which, I would think, is somehow related to income in gold), but seem to always manage to keep up in science. This would not make sense if commerce = gold, so what exactly is commerce?

Economic ranking I believe also takes into account number and type of money making city improves, trade, profit after expenses (as opposed to income only), and trade treaties.

I thought that Commerce = Gold + Science... Even though that wouldn't explain exactly why with Science set to 100% I still get gold flowing into my coffers.

Gwap - some of the wonders give a gold rather than commerce bonus, possibly including Pyramids,That Spice Islands Ship One, The One About Data Protection and maybe even London Exchange; I'd have to go and check, but I can seem to generate 5-10k gold/turn as Virtual Democracy even with science @ 100%.

Got spare money?

Do you use Merchants? (is that what the gold sepcialists are called?) That might be part of the reason.

Hmm, that appears to make sense, about the independent sources of Gold/Science. But building commerce tile improvements definitely helps your gold/science output doesn't it? If not, I'm even more confused than normal
