Republic is a government available with The Republic, an ancient technology.
Civilopedia entry[]
The "republican" form of government encourages greater economic freedom among the people and leads to dramatic increases in trade. More trade means more luxuries, tax revenues, and science research. However, under a republic war is much more difficult to wage because military units not in their home city cause one citizen to become unhappy. Most cities can therefore only afford to have a few military units on campaign without risking civil disorder. The republic becomes especially useful when your cities have grown quite large, because the increase in trade is very helpful in providing luxuries and maintaining a reasonable rate of technology advance.
