Sorry, but there is something I disagree on about the civics : mercantilism provokes great depressions instead of free market. A good thing about normal RFC was that it did not consider free market or state property as the "ultimate" (last line) economical civic. It stayed neutral (although it did put state property on line 4 and free market on line 3, but that was mainly because you get communism after economics).
Now we have free market on the last line (meaning that it can be forced upon you) with no disadvantages (and great depressions were a good feature of RFC), and that is very debatable. You have done some good changes with the civics, and it's less dull to choose the civics now, but there might be some improvement to be done on the economic ones. Personally, I don't consider Serfdom as an economical policy, but as a social (society) policy. It could be replacing aristocracy, and the +50% general emergence can be transfered to vassalage. But then we need another economical civic.
Environmentalism was a nice try, but something less polemical might be better. Regulated markets maybe ?
PS : I have started a game with America to see if everything went right, and everything was good. You said earlier that you were worried about the Dutch colonization, well they build Niew Amsterdam and the north cost of SAm (Venezuela and co.) so it seems all right. No S African colony though.
