Facism

[Apocalyptic]

Anyone ever use Facism as a government? What is Facism? Whats it good for? What civilizations are good with this type of government? Surely its viable with at least one. Anyone have extensive experience with this government?

On levels where the Government does matter, Fascism is a good choice when you have only a limited number of cities (~ <20), but all or most of them are Metros. You then can support an insane number of units. Still, many players will prefer Republic in such a situation.

However, since you surely will use all those units to double (or more...) your territory, and then either Communism (in wartime), or Republic/Demo (peace) is always superior.
So IMHO only REL Civs do benefit from Fascism for some time.
Also, IIRC Fascism+IND means 1-turn RR...
Conclusion:
Top Civs for Fascism:
Egypt
Japan (MIL since you're fighting anyway, 20sp Barracks)

Fascism is best used if you are a small nation expecting to go to war. You get tons of unit support and no war weariness, increased production, but take a HUGE hit in population and have difficulty assimilating new cities.
