Some games have that, SE. Empire Earth 2 had a mini-window in the bottom right that you could set to watch, for example, your city. However I found the game to be really badly optimised, so it lagged a lot and the mini-window made it worse.

Also, the Earth series of RTS's has had that feature in them. I think the first game let you have 2 mini-windows. Just a pity that the Earth series was good on gimmicky little things (day/night cycle, headlights on tanks, etc) but not actually all that good as a game.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
