Government Types

Government Types

Government types mainly change the mechanics of town ownership, but can also change the economics of the town. Your town's gov type is visible from the town menu. Only the sole owner of a town can change the gov type by clicking on its icon from the town menu. Gov types can only be changed once per day.
