Government Type - When you first create your nation and select your government type a random government type will be selected for your people’s “desired government.” If your nation's government type is not the same as your people’s desired government then your nation’s population happiness will be negatively affected. How do you know what your people’s desired government type is? The only way to tell is by changing your government type until you see the message “Your people are pleased with this government type.” Of course you can only change your government type once every 3 days.
The 11 available government types to choose from are as follows:
Anarchy - A complete lack of government that usually results in a state of lawlessness and disorder.
Capitalist - A government that invests capital in a business (especially a large business).
Communist - A theoretical system of social organization and a political movement based on common ownership of the means of production. As a political movement, communism seeks to establish a classless society.
Democracy - A form of government where all the state's decisions are exercised directly or indirectly by a majority of its citizenry through a fair elective process.
Dictatorship - Government by a single person or group of people who are in no way held responsible to the general population. Their discretion in using the powers and resources of the state is unrestrained by any fixed legal or constitutional rules.
Federal Government - A government with strong central powers and usually comprised of a system of government where there is a division of legislation, executive and judicial power between two main levels of governments.
Monarchy - Form of government in which political power belongs largely to one ruler, generally called a king or queen, who receives his or her position by claim of divine or inherited right.
Republic - A form of government whose head of state is not a monarch but instead is led by people who do not base their political power on any principle beyond the control of the people living in that state or country.
Revolutionary Government - A government that is formed on radical and revolutionary governing ideals.
Totalitarian State - A form of government that exercises massive, direct control over virtually all the activities of its subjects.
Transitional - A transitional government is a temporary ruling organization usually put into place pending the establishment of a permanent government.
What Does This Mean?
Your nation can have several government types. You can see from the table that Revolutionary and Monarchy are clearly the best government types for growing nations in peacetime. Dictatorship is also good, but you lose 1 happiness if it is not your population desired government. A Democracy or a Communist government (if your people desire it) can be advantageous in wartime due to bonuses to soldier efficiency.
The GGA recommends setting your government type on Revolutionary or Monarchy regardless of what your people desire.
The following is a guide to desired government types:
QUOTE
Communism: They desire a government that supports common ownership of all national possessions.
Transitional: They do not desire a permanent government but instead prefer something more temporary.
Capitalism They desire a government that will invest heavily in business ventures.
Federal Government: They desire a government of strong central powers that will reside over issues such as national defense, disaster relief, and foreign affairs.
Totalitarian: They desire a government that exercises total control over its subjects
Democracy: Your people approve of this form of government but the majority of your people would prefer something else. They desire a government that makes decisions based on fair elective processes.
Republic: The people want to rule themselves
Anarchy: Your people desire a complete lack of government. They are quite an unlawful group.
Dictatorship They desire a supreme ruler who is in charge of all national matters.
Revolutionary Government: Your people approve of this form of government but the majority of your people would prefer something else. They desire a government that is based on radical change.
