Republic Civ2
Republic allows:
Republic prerequisites:
Republic Unit Support
Each unit costs one shield per turn. Settlers eat two food per turn.
Republic Happiness
Each military unit after the first which is not in a friendly city (or a fortress within 3 spaces of a friendly city) causes one citizen in its home city to become unhappy.
Republic Corruption & Waste
The Republic has a low rate of corruption and waste. The level of corruption in a particular city is based on its distance from your capital.
Republic Special
- Under a Republic, each square which ordinarily produces at least one unit of trade produces an extra unit.
- None of the science, tax or luxury rates may be set higher than 80%.
Republic Hints
Switching to a Republic can give an astounding boost to your science and tax revenues, although you'll probably have to divert some of your trade to luxuries. It becomes more difficult (and expensive) to keep an army in the field, but building the Women's Suffrage wonder can help with this problem.
The republic is a system of government in which the citizens appoint, by popular vote, a head of state and officials to represent the views of the general public. The concept of the republic first appeared in ancient Rome, where local provinces sent elected representatives to the Senate, which governed all Roman lands. Both the head of state and the local representatives in a republic are elected; no one is granted a position by birth or divine right. Republican governments are similar in some ways to democracies, in that they offer a great deal of personal, financial, and political freedom to their citizens. The main difference between the two systems is that a true democracy allows the participation of every voting citizen in any and all political matters, whereas in a republic, the views and opinions of the people are represented by a body of elected officials. Although an effective system, personal agendas of political representatives might act to decrease the effectiveness in representing the views of the people. Due to human nature, corruption is fairly common in a republican government.
