Not-so-useful Unique Ability: Coup d'etat - every 5 turns you go into 2 turns of anarchy where your empire produces nothing, and cities stay in resistance for an additional 2 turns thereafter. Barbarian units will spawn at random within your territory, which will slowly fragment into independent City-States.

Derp... I'm thinking too much of the Community Call to Power mod that I usually play, which adds later eras more representative of the exponential increase in productivity of the populace in modern times.

I don't know how allowing guns makes your cities more stupid. And you mean anarchy, right, not occupied? And I don't know how that creates Rebel Forces against your civ.
Scientists would be a bit concerned for their life if it's easier to commit crimes against them, and schools would be plagued by the crime problem as well. Yes, I know that it creates anarchy, not occupation. Just the closest symbol that I could find. As for the rebel forces, it is merely supposed to represent unchecked organized crime.
