Confederacy goverment faction

[Cebolla_Man]

Can anyone tell me what does and what difference it makes with other goverment types? (Corporation, Communism, Dictatorship...)

[Hobo Misanthropus]

It's a background sim thing. Certain other governments are "Strong" and "Weak" to other governments for purposes of expansion and influence loss/gain.

i recommend informing yourself about the BGS it adds a whole other layer to the game if you are into that.

"Confederacy" is a "Social" class of government, alongside Democracy, Co-operative and (sometimes) Communist. When Social governments get into conflict, they have "Elections" with each other, rather than Wars. A Confederacy will go to war against an Authoritarian, Corporate or Criminal style of government.

Confederacies tend to declare the "usual" illegal goods to be illegal: slaves, narcotics, lethal weapons. Unlike all other Federal government types, Tobacco is legal in Federal Confederacies.

As far as Superpower affiliation, Confederacy is one of the allowed government types within the Federation. It is also found in the Alliance, though that shouldn't surprise as they have every government type represented except for Prison Colony. Confederacies are not permitted within the Empire (though Democracies are, to a very limited extent).
