	a small Democracy/Communism comparison Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

I've compared both Govs ( normal map, 8 civs, Regent, around 1800-1830 AD ) with 4-6-0 allocation.

Democracy vsCommunism

Science: 504 /301
Corruption: -471 /-325
units cost: -107 /0
Net gain: +122 /+129

ALPHA (capital): 63 shields,34 gold,75 research /56,26,48
BETA (near capital): 40,28,40 /38,16,26
BLUE DRAGON ( very distant): 1,0,1 /1,0,1
ELEPHANTINE ( very distant): 2,0,1 /2,0,1
WASHINGTON (very distant): 1,0,1 /1,0,1

Very clean conclusion: if you're a warmonger in a smaller map and owning a 200+ units with lot of spying, Communism is to be your choice. Otherwise a hybrid player like me owning something around 100 units ( or less ), wanting to speed research+production+cleaning pollution faster , etc..., has to stick with Democracy. I reswitched to it.

The standardization of corruption+waste in all cities under Communism is not that higher next to other Govs. It's disappointing next to what is stated.
