Governments
As leader of your country, you must select a form of government which your country will maintain. While you will still, in effect, have full authority over all decisions, each form has its advantages and disadvantages, as listed below.

Changing forms of government will require a revolution. Because a civil war is involved, a small part of your infrastructure, including military, technology, and buildings will be destroyed. However, as a Monarchy, you can change governments without any unrest.
