Government systems

Note: after a government system has been changed, there is a delay of 5 days before you can change it again on this planet.

Hyperiums Protectorate
The Hyperiums Protectorate system offers the protection of the Hyperiums Empire, which means that Hyperiums armies will be teleported to your planet as soon as it is attacked.
Important: beware to keep at least one army on your planet, so that it can not be taken before Hyperiums armies are teleported.
Moreover, counter-infiltration at the best accuracy level is ensured at Hyperiums expense.

In compensation, the protected planet is not allowed to build war ships and its core income is the lowest of the four systems. The Protectorate status is very similar to the democratic one, although the later has some more advantages.
The protectorate status automatically expires after at least 12 days (in fact, the protectorate length increases with the age of the galaxy). You can also shorten the delay and break it voluntarily by building war ships; in this case, the break is effective as soon as the first ship becomes available.

Democratic system
The Democratic government system offers the most secure trading place, because it is not allowed to reject importations nor preempt market shares; it also has the highest tax change delay, which ensures price stability to exportators.
Additional advantages are:
- higher core income,
- faster civilization growth,
- faster population growth,
- better resources usage.

Authoritarian system
The authoritarian system is a mix of the democratic and dictarorial systems. Compared to the democratic one:
- its tax change delay is lower (two days instead of three),
- it generates armies 50% faster,
- its civilization level increases slower,
- its production costs are a bit lower,
- infiltrations and counter-infiltrations are cheaper.

Dictatorial system
The dictatorial system is an "aggressive" system, on both the trading and military aspects.
A dictatorial planet can be an interesting trading place, because
1- its base importation prices are a bit higher,
2- it can much faster modify its importation tax rate.
The counterpart for those wanting to export to dictatorial planets is that their investments are insecure, since they can be rejected and/or their market shares can be preempted by the planet owner at any time.
On the military side, compared to democratic planets, dictatorial planets...
- generate armies two times faster,
- build ships and factories 20% faster.

The other characteristics are:
- the slowest civilization level growth,
- faster resource consumption,
- possibility to purify the planet from enemy infiltrations,
- reduced production costs,
- possibility of Black Hole,
- much cheaper infiltration and counter-infiltration costs.
