Explore Democracy in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII, its trade bonuses, food gains, shields, and the risk of anarchy from city riots.

Democracy in Sid Meier’s Civilization VII provides the same trade bonuses, food gains, and shields as a republic. However, its primary drawback is the risk of government collapse into anarchy if a city riots for more than one or two turns. If two cities riot simultaneously, anarchy is immediate.

Tips
  • Consider increasing luxury percentages to 5 or 6 to help prevent city riots and subsequent anarchy.
  • Democracy offers the lowest possible corruption levels.
  • Compare Democracy with the Republic government type, which offers similar benefits without the same risk of immediate anarchy from riots.
