@ Scratcher - If you had popped those huts right away, before you built any military, you luck would be much better.
 
The way to maximize the chance of getting Republic from a hut is:
1. Have less cities than the average per nation
2. Have no other AA techs left to get
3. Have no military units (or pop the hut with your explorer)
4. Have no settlers alive or in process

How does having "no settlers alive or in progress" increase my chances of getting republic. Surely if I have "no settlers alive or in progress" then there is a chance I will pop a settler and therefore decrease my chance of popping a tech. So by having a settler, I can not pop another settler so I increase my chances of popping republic .....I think I have confused myself.

Guys, I am going away over Christmas (from 18th December to 29th December) and will not be able to play during these 11 days. Do you want me to find a replacement during this time or are you willing to wait for my return?

I'll also be gone from the 26th to the 29th.

As for the settler / hut thing, here's what I think happens when you pop a hut:

First the game figures out what you can get (ie: Techs, warriors, barbarians, etc) then it adds up those items to get a base number. Then it generates a number from 1 to the base number. Finally it looks up in your list of things to see what you get.

Example: Game is at Monarch, you have no military and you have a settler active.
You can get a City (5), Tech (15), Gold (10), Map (10) or Warrior (10).

So your base number is 50. The computer gets a RNG value. if the value is 1-5 you get a city, 5-20 you get a tech, 21-30 you get gold, 31-40 you get a map & 41-50 you get a warrior. Now if you are playing as Sumer, you can't build warriors, so that 10 is gone. That means in this case Sumer's chance of getting a tech are 15/40 (38%) while everyone else has 15/50 (30%). I've yet to prove that you can get a city when you have a settler in process, but there are no mentioned restrictions for cities except must be valid terrain for settling.
