Confederacy

What are some good stats to give to a Confederacy government?

forced labor for hurring, slow workers. I'll think of some more later to lazy now.

In theory, I'd think, a confederacy would be more unstable than Civ's "democracy," because of the right of secession. For that reason, I'd give it high war weariness.

I'd also give it high stats for economic growth, because of regulatory competition between member states. The labor and business communities are free to move to the friendliest zone the confederacy has to offer. In other words, minimal corruption and use the trade bonus.

I'd also guess that assimilation would be low or none, because a weak central government could not exert much pressure on its members to conform to its standards.

I agree with forced labor (in the above post) only if you are mimicking the Confederate States of America. Otherwise, it's a non-issue. In fact, I'd say an intellectually honest confederacy would not have forced labor.

You could give a confederacy some free units, too, because I'd think that member states would shoulder some of the financial burden, and also promote local militia systems.

O, I guess that I wasn't getting across what confederacy I meant. I meant a future-type government of confederacy, not like the Americian confederacy. If anyone has seen The Fifth Element, the government depicted there was a confederacy. If these are the same thing, then ok, but I was talking like a future government like I said before.

Basically, it wouldn't be much different than a "Democracy" in Civ3 scale, anyway.

But yeah, the idea about assimilation is good. And perhaps maybe make it so propaganda works better against a confederacy, and might also simulate the possible successionism from having a weak central power.

Well why didn't you say that in the first post?

because I didn't even remember that there was another Confederacy government (the one used by the CSA) when I posted it.
