Does anyone know the advantages and disadvantages of them all yet?

Well the biggest disadvantage is they're all corrupt but you do get the dubious advantage of knowing when they are lying {it's whenever they are telling you something} .

Is there a way of changing your government type? For example, I am currently playing as Austria and I'd quite like to placate the proles by changing to a Constitutional Monarchy. Is a revolution the only way?

Yes, it seems you must have a revolution to change government. I think you can go through the game without a revolution, but you'll probably need to spam dragoons a lot. The main advantage of switching to republic is that it gets rid of all the 'clamor for reform' built up by researching the various technologies. After researching everything I was running a -16 to public happiness penalty in every city due to 'clamor for reform'. A little learning IS a dangerous thing, I guess.
