DEMOCRACY
You rule as the elected executive of a modern Democracy. The people feel that you rule
because they chose you. The degree of freedom allowed under this government results in
the maximum opportunity for economic production and trade. However, the people also
have a very strong voice in determining how much economic production is devoted to
improving the standard of living. Any diplomatic decisions you make are subject to review
by your Senate — and the Senate always opposes actions that would lead to war.
Maintaining a military force in the field comes with great political and economic costs.
Attitude: Each ground and naval unit not stationed in a friendly city or in a Fortress
within three squares of a friendly city (except units whose attack strength is zero),
and each Bomber, Stealth Bomber, Helicopter, or missile unit — regardless of the
city it occupies — makes two citizens unhappy in its home city.
NOTE: In Civilization II, units are not penalized based on their home city; they
need only be in any friendly city. In addition, Democracy is fragile. If even one of
your cities remains in civil disorder for more than a turn, your government collapses
into Anarchy.
Corruption & Waste: One of Democracy’s greatest advantages is its ability to squelch
corruption and waste. Neither exists in your cities.
Resource Support: Each military unit appropriates one shield for support each turn.
Settlers require two food for support each turn.
Special Conditions: Under Democracy, your workers generate an additional arrow icon
wherever at least one already exists. Patriotism and strong democratic traditions
make your cities and units immune to all forms of bribery. Finally, the Senate can
force a peaceful resolution to any negotiation, and will do so whenever possible.
