I remember that. Half the Soviet Union turned into India. I think it would be nice to have each civ have a "rebellion civ."

If America splits, you get the confederacy. Withe the English, you can get the Americans (unlikely) or maybe the Scots or Welsh. The Russians get the Soviets, etc.

This reminds me of Europa Universalis I and II, where certain sequences of events with rebelling provinces can lead to the formation of new Nations. If the right piece of France broke off, for example, you could wind up with the new nation of Burgundy sitting between the remainder of France and the German and Italian states.

I miss that break-apart-feature from older civs, too. Tho i never had a situation yet, where it would have been likely to happen. I just assume it's not there anymore...

Ouch, man. That's cold. Never thought of that myself. Hate to have YOU for my king.

I call it the "Smithers, release the hounds" theory of social control.

You have the right to assemble - in an orderly queue, that ye may work yourselves to death building my new courthouse.

Another alternative is to switch to Nationhood and draft the dissidents into military service. Straightens out their ideas remarkably.

[The keeper]

You cannot draft if you have less than a certain percentage of your culture there. I think 10%.

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

However.

When in the course of my plans for world domination, a group of disgruntled former citizens of a steamrolled dominion feel it neccesary to chap my ass mightily by refusing to work,

I change civics to slavery.
I whip up some infrastructure.

And the new citizens have a new respect for maintaining the public order and behaving themselves.

That is seriously funny. My kinda thinkin'.

If Spiderjeru ever gets any power, remind me to raise an army.

[Crossfire]

Remind me to join his side early! I would make a fine second in command as I treat my newfound civilians the same way when they refuse to work.

[gdijedi7]

You join his side. I'll be there to crush the dictators.

Whipping people to death is probably the best cure for unhappiness. However, grinding their bodies to create the mortar used to build a new temple or marketplace can be a better solution
