What are Governments?
Provides Unique Celebration Effects
Governments function as part of Civ 7's culture system and are keys in every Age.
Players get to pick from at least 3 different Governments per Age, and once a government has been selected, you cannot change it.
Each Government will provide the player with a new Policy slot and 2 different Celebration Effects, each lasting 10 turns.
They encourage players to focus on these specific aspects while it is active, and are unique to each Government type.
