Civilization III features six government types, with two additional (Fascism and Feudalism) added in the Conquests expansion. Each government has advantages and disadvantages. The type of government you use determines:
- How efficient your Workers are (how quickly they get their jobs done).
- How much corruption and waste affects your civilization.
- The number of citizens you can draft per turn.
- The number of military units that can be used as military police.
- The number of military units you can have before you must support them from your treasury.
