About governments in Civilization
Your government sets the rules of your whole empire: how much your tiles produce, how corruption spreads, how many units each city supports for free, and how your citizens react to war. Switching costs a period of Anarchy — unless the right wonder says otherwise.
Strategy — The classic arc is Despotism → Monarchy → Republic/Democracy. Warmongers stay in Monarchy or Communism (or Fundamentalism in Civ II); builders race to Republic as fast as possible.
