How do I reduce Anarchy

[RoamDog]

After almost the whole game with great relations with the Iroquios,
they declared war on me. No big deal as we do not have much common
territory. However, the idiot Zulus had a mutual protection pack with
the Iroquios and after only 3 turns of (finally) peace with the Zulus
they also declared war on me. So, I have now been at war with them
both for many turns and have spanked them thoroughly. They have
refused to receive my envoy (I never wanted to fight either of them)
when I have tried to negotiate peace. Unfortunately, I went into
anarchy for what seemed like an eternity. Finally got my governement
back to Democracy but the Iroquios and the Zulus will still not come
to the peace talks.

Which kept me at war and caused me to go back into Anarchy after 1 or
2 turns of Democracy. I cannot get the computer to negotiate and am
unwilling to go through another 5 turns of Anarchy. So, I am ready to
cheat.

How do I reduce the amount of time that my government is in Anarchy??

I looked at the editor and there is a setting for Max government
Transition Time under the Difficulty Levels tab. However, the help
file states that this only affects the time that the AI is in
transition.

So, how can I adjust the time the the human player (me) is in
transition?

Thanks for your help.

Find religion.

Religious civilizations only suffer one turn of Anarchy.

Though I'm not sure if this is true in cases of forced government changes, as well as for voluntary government changes.

Unfortunately, I am 80 hours into this game and do not know of anyway to switch civilizations in the middle of a game. Do you have any ideas that will work for a game in progress??

You can change your civ in the editor and add it the religious tag. I'm not absolutly sure it'll take effect, but you can try
