3.4.6 Republic
In a Republic, citizens hold an election to select a representative who
will govern them; since elected leaders must remain popular to remain in

productively. Citizens under a Republic become unhappy easily, but the
productivity of your citizens allows a high level of trade.
Cities under the Republic suffer a small amount of corruption. None
of the taxes/luxury/science rates may be set higher than 60%.

3.4.7 Democracy

for citizen unhappiness. There is no corruption during Democracy, but citizens
become very upset during wars.
Under a Democracy, none of the taxes/luxury/science rates may be set
higher than 80%.
