REPUBLIC
A trade-driven government.
Roads on grassland, plains, and desert yield +1 trade. Ocean and river tiles also gain +1. Jungle and mountain specials gain +2.
Corruption is heavy: cities far from the capital lose much of their tax and science to graft.
When We Love the King Day fires, a republic city grows or gifts a Caravan rather than easing taxation.
Every military unit AWAY from its home city makes ONE citizen there unhappy. Diplomats, Caravans, and Settlers do not count. Use the HOME CITY command (H) to base a unit and reset the penalty.
Women's Suffrage cancels it. Shakespeare's Theatre shields its host city from all unhappiness.
Sustained civil disorder will topple the Republic and plunge the nation into anarchy.
