WOW("great" wonder)
+2in all cities
+25%to your treasury per turn
-10%in all cities
Is that meant to be a bad wonder? Because you could just run universal suffrage and that
loss would equate to nothing.

Tuturuu!
State Property will completely negate that as well. I'd build it ASAP.

a random less advanced civ gets a free Gold resource
Obsoletes Universities

I agree. I thought this was America. : )
Religious Extremism (not-so-useful civic)
Can only adopt if you have a state religion
+3 from state religion
Your civ receives 5 free inquisitors and 10 free Suicide Bombers
+5
per non-state religion
All technological progress is halved and you lose the last ten techs you discovered
A random building in any city in the world is blown up by a religious nut who thinks you aren't practicing your state religion well enough.
Favorite civic of Republicans and most Islamic leaders
Suicide Bombers (not-so-useful unit)
Destroyed upon use
10
3
Can send into any city and destroy 1-3 buildings or 1 military unit
+5
and +3 
in the city you send this unit into
65% chance of a coalition of other civs declaring war on you 1 turn after you use it
50% chance of that coalition including America

Procreation Only - a not-so-useful-but-still-semi-useful civic - requires Theology tech and a Christian or Jewish state religion
50% chance per city of +3 People don't want babies but they do want sex
50% chance per city of doubled pop increase moar babies
((These chances occur each turn and can be stacked with each other.))
Cities can grow without surplus food (at the rate of the previous growth) and you get +25%
for every pop size above its natural limit with a maximum of 100% People gots ta have their sex
+1 automatic for unsafe abortions
+1 in conquered cities for 10 turns because they won't be raped by the army.
+1 in cities with state religion
+10% needed for military units to instill this discipline in them.
+1 resistor in every city with the state religion that gets captured by an enemy that does not have this civic

Deep Thought (not-so-useful Wonder)
Requires Computers, obviously.
Produces "42" (thanks, Kark !) as result of all calculations - research production, turns per tech, hit points, combat odds etc.etc. - and takes 1 hour (real time) per calculation.

An English crime show becomes reality in your kingdom (Not-so-useful random event)
Every turn one population unit disappears in each of your cities due to a mysterious murder. When a city's population has been reduced to 1, the remaining population unit is clearly the murderer. It condemns itself to death and hangs itself.
