Maybe Jack can tell us if he chimes in.
Yes, different government types do have different upkeep. However, 90 upkeep I believe, I saw playing either with Prussia or with Sweden whereas 300+ upkeep, playing as Ottomans. All 3 are Absolute Monarchies.

Also, the government type modifier is not so big to justify 90 versus 300+ difference.
