How Governments work in Civilization VII

Make sure make your allies in Civilization VII (Image via 2K)

Authorities are a key part of this title's culture system, allowing players to tailor their civilization’s strengths based on their chosen govt. Each Age presents at least three options, and once selected, it cannot be changed until the next one.

Each govt. comes with:

• A new policy slot: Allows players to equip a policy that complements their strategy.
• Two celebration effects: These provide temporary but powerful bonuses for 10 turns, encouraging a specific style of play.

The celebration effects are the main reason players must choose carefully. A civilization focused on military conquest might opt for Authoritarianism, while one aiming for cultural dominance may prefer Revolución.

Mastering these choices is crucial for leading a civilization to victory.
