My final point on Communism: I think that the fundamental principals and theory of Communism are what should be honored in the game. We should disregard Communism's success or the governments that have developed when Communists have come to power. The theory of communism says NOTHING about a dictatorship.And Ribannah, the trouble is that you automatically assume that the parties would be divided into Communist and Capitalist. They probably have several parties of Communists as we here in every capitalist country have separate parties. Are Democrats and Republicans in favor of two entirely different kinds of government (no jokes please)? No, in fact a Communist party would have no meaning if Capitalism didn't exist. Everybody would be Communist, but they wouldn't call themselves that. And even if there were some small right-wing Capitalist group, they would have to have the power in a legislative body to make alterations to the Constitution. |

I am not sure how each of these governments should effect the game. But I would like to see more of a tree progression through the government types instead of the ladder progression that is in CIV2.------------------

HsFB's post made me think it was a utopia.Oligarchy- is that a market economy, I thought it was rule by women? or kings. quote:
Cryptocracy - secret rule (ie. the government is "hidden", so nobody knows who rules. It could also involve a democracy on the surface but in reality...)Technocracy - rule primarily by scientists (and the educated elite)
|
I believe these may be too far into the future for Civ, but I may be mistaken. |

Oligarchy-Rule by small group of people.It is kind of like a provisional government where a group of high ranking people might run the country for a while until a new leader can be chosen. |

Rule by women is a Matriarchy.A Technocracy is ruled by educated bureaucrats, not scientists, it's a more modern version of a Plutocracy, they're expected to make the best choices for the people since they can "understand" political decisions and make the best decision for everyone. |
