    Default republic or monachy ?

    as you probably now in E:tw now you can chose support a revolution and take away his power and declare a republic so what do you think is the best option?

    my vote is for the republic athough you lose some power its better for the living conditions of the people

    I don't think I could make a blanket statement like that. For me, it would really depend on the situation -- sometimes a republic will be preferable, at other times a monarchy.

    What I'm more curious about is under what conditions a constitutional monarchy can arise, and what the benefits & penalties are. I wouldn't be surprised if that particular government type would be especially tricky to manage -- given that it seems to be the "in the middle" option (between absolute monarchy and republic) -- but would also have the greatest overall bonuses.

    Some countries will start the game already under Constitutional Monarchy, Great Britain for one.

    I wonder whether Constitutional Monarchy might be a third option when Republican sentiment is starting to boil over, in order to appease the masses without losing the loyalty of the aristocracy. As you say though I'm sure there must be some penalty for such fence-sitting.

    Given what CA have said about having a separate tax rate for the ruling classes and the masses, I suspect that much of the government and taxation aspect will be about trying to please both groups at once. Kind of like RTW's balancing act between pleasing Senate and People (only in reverse I suppose, the tendency being to move toward rather than away from a Republic as the game progresses.)

    Depends what I feel like.
    On one hand, you've got POWER TO THE PEOPLE!
    On the other, you've got RULING WITH AN IRON FIST!
    And both are awesome... I'll probably go with the middle.
