Civ representations of certain philosophies

[Phlegmak]

How should these be represented in Civ 3 or other flavors:

1. A government based on Objectivism
2. A government based on Communism as practiced
3. A government based on everything being privatized
4. A government based on the Amish
5. A government run by fundamentalist Evangelical Christians
6. North Korea's government

My own guesses would be (for Civ 3):
1. A government based on Objectivism
Man, I'm not sure.

2. A government based on Communism as practiced
This one I can comment on. Despotism in Civ 3 is wrong. Communism should function as Despotism does. Pitiful productivity and high corruption everywhere. The low food production of Communism would mirror real life Communism's tendancy for murder, famine, and overall bad productivity. Military units would be incredibly cheap to maintain. Slave worker units would be very cheap to build.

3. A government based on everything being privatized
This would have the productivity of Republic/Democracy. However, corruption would be like Despotism. Maintenance costs for troops would be around 10 coins per unit. There would be many special buildings for this government that increase luxuries or content faces.

4. A government based on the Amish
This would have the productivity of Monarchy, with very low corruption. However, it would be impossible to build military units. Also, technology would stagnate.

5. A government run by fundamentalist Evangelical Christians
Now we're cookin'! It would have the productivity of Monarchy, moderate corruption, and a bonus when building military units. The people would be significantly happier when they're at war.

6. North Korea's government
I'm guessing this would be like Civ 3 Despotism, but with a communal corruption. The corruption would be high in every city, but it would be communal. There would be a very high number of free units per city.

EDIT: Here's another:


7. Government based on Scientology

The people would undergo forced conversion to Scientology. This would cause 20 turns of extra unhappiness. After that, no one is ever unhappy anymore. The people would be paying extra taxes to the government so the end result is lower economic productivity. The corruption would be moderate to low per city and communal. Workers work at a normal rate. Productivity would generally be like Monarchy.

1) automatic declaration of war against anyone who throws "rational self-interest" out, or doesn't believe in it. No more suicide cats or suicide anything, and definitely no more medics

2) agreed

3) corporations will create standing armies

4) no teching

5) agreed

6) if you keep too many troops in your cities, the pop will go down dramatically

1. A government based on Objectivism

Come on - that's an easy one. +100% bonus for everything

 

[Japanrocks12]

I'm sure objective thinking led you to come to that

Describe your opinions based on any civilization version

Describe your opinions based on any civilization version

well I gave you the civ 4: warlords bts deal but:

in lieu of the corporations creating standing armies, I think that tiles producing a set amount of commerce or more should create armies and be improved and have population

and objectivism would also not allow you to automate workers, build roads or much of anything because it isn't in their rational self-interest to do so.

It is if they're getting paid for it. But slavery civic is out of the question.

Wouldn't it be in the leader's rational self-interest to not pay his workers?
