Supposedly government control is supposed to get rid of corruption. Nice logic there, Firaxis.:crazyeye:

Because its Communism my good man, hense why it stops Corps from having any effect (to detriment, or good).

are you sure thats the reason why because it doesnt make a lot of sense
and why doesnt the slavery civic allow you to enslave a certain percantage of defeated units

Cities suffer from maitenance because of corruption, apparently. So the state having total control over property is supposed to remove that corruption. Obviously, this is not the case in RL.

Let's stop going off topic. Why did you post this question here of all places?

It's off topic, of course, but the way state property works in Civ is that the corruption is insitutionalized (the government officials steal legally, as it were), which means that the corruption is uniform throughout your empire and manifests itself in lower income than with other economic systems. So under state property, your empire does not suffer from being far-flung, but it does not rake in money the way Free Market (and even, to some extent, Mercantilism and Environmentalism) do.
