They refers to more than one person. Rhye is not a they. Maybe if he had a few clones, then maybe he could become they, but he cannot become a they until that point.

That said, in an official document I would never say they, I'd however use one.
No I don't.
1) you ignored Mercantilism
2) Free Market has practically nothing to share with paying overtime.
3) People can work not just for money, you know. In a (real) communism you work for a greater goal, and most likely if you're asked to work more, you'll do it. The reward will be the accomplished goal and prestige.
4) Decentralization the government has no control ? Same with Free Market, which surely doesn't give a government the tools to hurry the construction of a highway or other infrastructure. The overtime is payed by the employer and I don't see why this shouldn't happen under a decentralized economy (which btw is something totally senseless to mention) or mercantilism.
5) the reason you can hurry via gold with Universal Suffrage but not with other civics is purely strategical, it does not and doesn't have to make any sense from the realistic point of view.
Also, in response to the 'lack of a third person pronoun', it's quite acceptable to say "(s)he" when the gender is uncertain
Did the last person, gender uncertain when you addressed them but who turned out to be a woman, that you happened to refer to as "he", actually express that this was acceptable?
I suppose the main reason I thought it needed a change was that governments were paying their citizens money to complete products, constructions, etc. long before democracy/universal suffrage was prominent.
I know it doesn't have to be realistic, but should we not endeavor to make it? I know I prefer games that are realistic, and that I'm not alone in that view.
While I agree that, in a truly 'free' market that government has no control, many world markets said to be 'free' are, to a degree, controlled by the government. Here in New Zealand, for example, our government sets minimum wage, tariffs and so forth.
So, instead of shifting it to Free Market, another civic, perhaps?
Re Coloniae (On the subject of Colonies):
Ever since Guilds was added as a prerequisite for Optics, I've noticed a lot of Arabian conquests of the New World civs. Guilds is a starting tech for Arabia, but not for the large European countries. So it's natural that Arabia will head for Optics (and therefore build Caravels) more quickly than the Europeans. Can anyone think of a solution that doesn't give Arabia that advantage?
I've never witnessed Arabia colonizing the New World... ever. But I only play 3000 BC.
Mongolia should start with a coupla islamic missionaries.

And btw I think that Mongolia should start with a coupla islamic missionaries.
Why? Althrough the Golden Horde adopted Islam, Mongolia itself is Buddhist.
