type III gov is something like a military controlled region without strong ties between the local elite and the Roman world (for example, the germanic area in Augustus time); type II gov is an area where latin is becoming a spoken language as "lingua franca", the elite is more alligned with roman values and the complex process of "romanization" is taking place. In fact roman provinces were probably more closely controlled by Rome (or better, by a fully romanized local elite of landowners) than most of the other "empires" of antiquity, so within the limitations of the engine I think that type 2 gov are fine.
