From Freeciv

[edit] Politics

Deals with unit upkeep, martial law and unhappiness from city size. May allow units, partisan rules and senate rules. All enable +1 trade from each tile when 'celebrating'. All have an unhappiness cost for field units of 1.

[edit] Anarchy

You rule by the consent of everyone. There is no unhappiness due to city size, however the incentives needed to get people to join your units and go into danger are prohibitently expensive.

Unit upkeep +100%

[edit] Aristocracy

You rule on behalf of the powerful in society, elected by those deemed worthy of suffrage.

Unhappiness from size 0, +2 each step. One unhappy free unit in each city each step. Martial law 1 content citizen for each unit. Luxuries +20% each step. Allows Knights unit.

[edit] Authoritarian

You rule as a heavy-handed dictator, caring nothing for your people, who only exist to serve. You do not care that they hate you, as long as they fear you.

Unhappiness from size 2, +1 each step. Martial law 1 content citizens for each unit each step. Gold +20% each step. Allows Legion unit.

[edit] Democracy

You are the elected leader of all your people. Your people slander you in the press and gossip behind your back, and your senate threatens to veto your spending bills. However, the freedom inspires creativity in your people and increases research and development.

Unhappiness from size 3, +1 each step. Inspires Partisans. Has Senate. Unit food (and gold) upkeep +100%. Field units unhappiness +100%. +10% Trade production each step.

[edit] Totalitarian

You aim to rule not only the state but also the minds of the people. The total and unquestioning devotion of a whole people makes for awesome military might, but awful research.

Requires Radio.

Unhappiness from size 5, +1 each step. One unhappy free unit each city for each step. Martial law 1 content citizens for each unit for each step. Halved research.

[edit] Economics

Deals with production tile bonuses and corruption.

[edit] Commons

Primitive or Utopian, as you happen to look at it, type of government. Everything is owned by everyone, and everyone work with everyone else to make stuff go around.

No corruption.

[edit] Slavery

Slaves carry out most of the crucial work. As this frees up parts of society for more important work, it leads to a flowering of philosophy and science and makes it easy to produce great works, but is quite wasteful and lends itself best to highly centralized civilizations.

Palace gives +50% shield, luxuries and gold production. All other cities experience 80% corruption - 10% each step.

[edit] Feudalism

Large parts of the people live in serfdom, and work under special economic obligations, producing some for themselves and some for their patrons. This increases industrial innovation and production.

Requires: Feudalism

Food production +1 on all tiles with irrigation & Granary. Corruption 50% - 7% each step.

[edit] Market

Valuables are in general privately owned, and those who do not own sufficient capital to live from rent, work for wages. Cut-throat competition between capital owners make for high production and innovation.

Requires: Economics

Trade production +1 on all tiles with road & Marketplace. Corruption 40% - 6% each step.

[edit] Planned

Everything is owned and managed by the state. Its planning commissions command the economy. This has the advantage of all factors in the economy pulling in the same direction, becoming capable of achieving singular goals much faster, but is rather inefficient overall.

Requires: Communism

Shield production +1 on all tiles with mines & Factory. Corruption 40% - 4% each step. Waste 20% - 3% each step

[edit] Culture

[edit] Pluralism

Your society is awash with multitudes of different values and life goals. None is pulling in the same direction. No bonuses. No penalties.

[edit] Conquest

Your society strives towards and prides itself in its power and territorial conquests.

Requires: Horseback Riding

Produced units +1 veteran level. Cities may upkeep 1 units free of gold/food for each step. Building upkeep +100% gold each building (double upkeep).

[edit] Knowledge

Your society strives towards achieving knowledge of the world and of themselves. Being a value set of rather pacifist bent, it increases science production at the cost of unit support.

Requires: Writing

Science production +10% each step. Field units unhappiness +100%. Unit build costs +50%.

[edit] Wealth

The members of your society care more than anything about each becoming wealthy, lavishing in riches. It is not unreasonable that some fall short of this goal, however, as in order for some to be richer, some have to be poorer. Gold income is increased at the cost of more unhappiness.

Requires: Currency

Gold production +20% each step. Wonder build costs +50% (large projects suffer a death from a thousand cuts as everyone want their cut).

[edit] Pleasure

Your society reaches towards greater physical happiness as the goal of living.

Requires: Mysticism

Luxuries +20% each step. Shield prod -20% (too laid back to work their asses off).

[edit] Fundamentalism

A society shaped to accomodate literal interpretations of chosen religious texts. There is little tolerance of heretics, and trade of all kind suffers due to religiously imposed restrictions.

Requires: Theology

(thanks to 'briann' in the talk page for this idea)

Unhappiness from field units starts one later each step (as Police Station effect). Trade production -20%. Allows Fanatics unit.
