a very interesting form of gov't throughout the ages has been the confederacy... america started out as one... so did switzerland... so did the south during the american civil war...
i propose that something along these lines is created... but not as a form of gov't per se... but as an agreement between sovereign nations (like MPP and ROP), since that is what a confederation is... 2 or more nations that group together for mutual protection and give up certain "rights" that are theirs for the "greater good" of all the nations and themselves...
this is how i envision it working... i am a smaller nation and there is a large nation that is controlling much of the world... i offer the "confederacy pact" to my neighbor and he accepts... we now have the same effect as a MPP and and ROP... but there would be more... and here is where the difficulty might come in implementing this...
i would want a "federal level" added to rule over all participating gov'ts... they would levy a tax on the gov'ts within... each nation would have it's own military units, but the federal gov't would also have it's own... maybe even designate a city from the 2 or more nations to become the "federal capital"?
the federal gov't would from then get certain rights... it could be set to one formula, or maybe allow for people to control what soverign rights they give up... some possible examples would be to:
1 - the feds gain right to declare war and peace.
2 - the feds gain the right to trade with other nations... all resources and luxuries now affect all nations in the confederacy.
3 - the confederacy would share all techs...
i'm not really sure what others... but it would make for an interesting ending to the game when your nation gets huge and a bunch of computers start to band together to defend themselves against you...
also not sure how it would work with gov't types... would a communism and a republic be able to join a confederation together?
what y'all think?

.it would be like marriage of civs,and later civil war-divorce
i would imagine it would be hard to get nations to join though... since the main factor to join would be for survival against a larger nation...
it's something that i've dreamed about since civ 2...
