Before this degenerated into a discussion of American "Libertarianism", I think it was about the functions of government.
Personally, I think the governments in Civ 3 are unrealistic because they work so simply. But its good that way, I mean, party coups, royal feuds, and non-confidence votes would cramp my style of world conquest.
But if they were deciding to expand the government's functions, they would all work really differently.
Having a "libertarian" government form is way too vague...since libertarian socialism predates American style Libertarianism. Libertarian Capitalism would be more accurate, but that is alot like the already existing democracy in Civ 3.
I think they should throw in Military Dictatorship, Democratic Socialism, Theocracy and Constitutional Monarchy. Just by mixing and matching the advantages of the already existing governments you could make these (Dictatorship is Republic+Monarchy, Dem. Socialism is Democracy+Communism, etc)
Ehhh this is kinda pointless. Whatever, my two cents.
