Virote and Drakarska, thank you very much for the explanation of Raxing. It is always interesting to learn something new. 
Raxing in my eyes is the simpliest way to win a civ-game. The power of Democracy in CCM is to allow a much faster research as most other governments that are able to rax - and this in a zone of research, where techtrading is not longer allowed. So with Democracy you can bring your military units ahead in quality, (at least in games up to emperor-level). Additionally you can upgrade your existing veteran units that you have produced before switching to Democracy and produce a lot of new veteran units in cities that contain small or great wonders that also work like barracks. It is a part of the gameplay in CCM to place these buildings wisely.
