we have 9 types ,
so for steppe factions monarchy, clan federation, after reformed faction (pahlava, saka) maybe feudalism..
for hellenics, should be monarchy,
for celtics and germans clan federation suits well,
carthage monarchy, feudalism...
rome, anything may be suited
ptolemies may be teocracy,
and of course sparta agoge or what was is that or a general despotism for all faction...
anarchy suits heretic system namely if the government fails like sacked cities or rebels
but first we should decide which 3 are important as they will cause unrest.
also I think for type 4 govs we need a autonomy goverment.
On the other hand, we should not forget that the goverment system that we name now was not applied by the governors who was claimed as the follower of them so modern democracy should be just name in ancient hellenic factions like republic was just in name in rome that only rich people had the power (plutocracy) ..
so I can say that despotism, feudalism, monarchy, autonomy, clan federation, theocracy and anarchy like heretism system may suit EB time frame you may add republic or democracy but they were just in name only...
Imperialism or emperium was beyond its meaning in EB time frame. but Rome may be counted as an imperialistic empire.
but if we start to discuss implications of meanings this thread would be ballooned soon.
P.S. I hope you know how to handle traits with government types that I failed to adapt the traits for religions.
