FASCISM
The regime of a militarist nation that believes it is losing. No player may adopt it; it is what you face across the border.
Its people feel no weariness of war and its armies are cheap to keep. It takes no prisoners: a city it captures loses HALF its people.
Trade will not restrain it, and the United Nations will not shield you from it.
It pays for all of this. Its SCIENCE is halved, its CULTURE counts for nothing, and every other nation holds a grudge against it from the day it rises.
It rarely lasts. When the war it was raised for dies down it returns to an ordinary government; if it loses a quarter of its cities it COLLAPSES into ANARCHY.
