government types

[The Guardian]

Is there a limit on the number of government types or can you have a different gov for ea civ? I haven't noticed a limit anywhere regarding government types

No I don't think there's any kind of limit, and if there is one, I don't think anyone has ever hit it. You could certainly have a government type for each civ.

It's probably 256 or something like that. Not anything you have to worry much about. A huge amount of goverments is not always a good thing though, since the ai usually go for the same ones.

Thanks Kulade, yoda. I noticed that in the editor, improvements and wonders under requirements lists;
Advance
Improvement/Wonder
Government
Resources

I think this may be useful. Each gov can require a hidden tech. You can set up regions ie asian, europe, africa, N. and S. America etc. You can pretty much determine exactly what city can build what improvement.

Example
To build Canadian ministry...............India Ministry

Advance = N. America........................Asia
Improvement = Harbor........................Harbor
Gov = British.....................................British
Resource = Iron.................................Iron
Resource = Copper.............................Copper

You have two buildings - one civilopedia entry - and both can auto produce the same unit say colonial infantry or different units.
If you make the improvement a sm wonder or a wonder, it opens up even more possibilities.
