Need some help with a mod

Mods, please delete this thread. I posted it on the wrong forum


I haven't done really anything with this mod, yet, but I do need some help from the forums. In game terms, what would the pros/cons of each of the following be:

Democracy
Socialism
Fascism
Libertarianism/Minimalism

I'm trying to make a whole new civic system for my mod that is more of a balanced approach, rather than an evolution of governments like the current version of Civ is.

I would, also, like a fifth form of government to make it easier when modding, if anybody has any thoughts.



Thanks in advance,

JAH

I've taken a similar route in my mod. Currently I'm using Despotism/Feudalism/Monarchy/Oligarchy/Theocracy/Democracy/Technocracy.

Monarchy or Theocracy might make a good addition to your mod as they sort of represent government extremes and would be easy to make up unique sub-policies for.

I thought of going that route (replacing government, legal, etc.) with broad forms of government, but I could not figure out enough sub-forms of those governments.

For example, one of my categories would have been democracy. How many forms of democracy are there that are popular? I could really only think of two: direct and representative. This became a problem as there are many more forms of other types of governments, such as the hundreds of forms of autocracy. Even if I tried to break autocracy down further, there would still be more forms of it than of democracy.

What I'm trying to do with this mod is take the existing civic categories (government, legal, etc.) and make better policies within those categories, and possibly change one of them to accommodate military policies.
