I was using the civics: Federal, parliament, Liberal, Regulated, Secular, and Socialized medicine. I had the name something like soc. democratic republic. Something like that, I know it wasn't communist but that other name that is commonly used in scandanavian countries. Anyway, during a war I switched to facist and president, and then switched back. Then my name of democratic socialist republic, which is a communist type name. In any case, I think Federal, by its picture, is suppossed to be inspired from the American federal system, and parliament is common in Europe. There are plenty of countries that are federal and parliament that are neither of the names given.
I suspect the socialized medicine contributed to the name, but if you look at western Europe they do have a federal, parliamentary system with liberal values a regualted economy and socialized medicine, and they are not socialist or communist countries. Anyway I guess I think that the name democratic socialist republic should be used for those with communist civic, nothing else.
Another thing that I think should be fixed, I don't think regulated should boost hammers. If we look at the way commerce is used in the game, it refers to the demand for a product because commerce is the amount people can buy. Anyone who has taken economics 101 knows that the amount people are willing and able to buy is the demand curve. Also hammers probably represent supply because thats how much a country can produce. Keynsian focuses on manipulating demand, so it should boost commerce. Free market is tricky because it focuses on neither, it just lets markets go. Though one could argue that production (hammers) fare higher since a totally unregulated market tends to have things like low wages and child labor, both things we don't have now but did increase production. Therefore those should be switched.
Finally, I'm not sure what Atheist is for. By the time a player can use it secular has been used by at least one civilization, making the unhappienes from atheist too much to bear. At least with the other civics we can use them for a while. I mean, athiest benefits are soooooo good its torture not to be able to use it.
