Communism isn't a govermnent type. 'Communist' governments are actually (generally) dictatorships with communist economies (China was actually a 'monarch'-communist gov, chairman Mao Tse-Tung was looked at as the emperor of communist china. After that, I don't know, we didn't get that far in my eastern civ class) ....

And a good thing they didn't teach you more nonsense like that, too! 
Here are some standard definitions of governments.
Dictatorship: the country is by a single person (by force) with absolute power.
Monarchy: the country is ruled by a single (wealthy) family (with more families administrating counties) bound by law.
Republic: the country is ruled by chosen representatives of the (economic) elite, for the elite
Communism: the country is ruled by a single party (of commoners) with absolute power. (Often there are elections to decide the representatives of counties.)
Democracy: the country is ruled by chosen representatives of the (common) people, for the people
Fundamentalism: the country is ruled by the (religious) elite with absolute power
Of course in the real world there can be mixtures, extremes and even exotic types of government, and new types are bound to show up in the future (referendum, delphi, artificial intelligence).

actually airdrik is right, communism is not an actual government, its the leaders that rule the government.

I think there should be more government tipes:
1. Monarchy
2. Fundementalism
3. Communism (this is not a government!)
4. Republic
5. Democracy
6. Despotism
7. Modern Socialism (Nazism, it was not the soldiers that were nazis, it was an actual political party, led by Hitler)
8. Fascism (like Socialism)
9. modern Communism (China)
oops, double post!

To help clarify some things,
Communism is where the government owns and governs EVERYTHING.
Socialism is the same thing, only instead of government ownership of everything, it is the people's ownership of everything. In a socialistic society, all profits are pooled and distributed evenly among everyone.
BTW, the Nazi party in Germany was a facist party run by Hitlar, who eventually named himself the 'dictator' of Germany (actually he didn't name himself that, he just saw to it that he got the top job and when he did he eliminated all opposition, which is how a dictator generally comes to power)

they need like manufacturing types.... like if a city is near mines and such, it would be a minning city, near major roads, maybe a car making city (Detroit?), technologically advanced city (silicon valley)
and all cities shouldn't become as good as the tech level you are at....
like parts of china (Beijing) are very advanced, with cell phones, computers and TV's, and then parts of it are vast farmlands, with nomads still roaming the lands and living in tents.
The tech level of each city should be dependant on what improvements are in it, and the natural geographical influences nearby
and having cities produce specialty goods, and trading them to other civilixations would be great. Such as exporting cars, or importing high tech electronics from Japan....
or open up oppurtunities for foreign investment...
in the CivII version, trading silver, silk, dye or whatever only really provides a quick source of income, but doesn't really benefit everyone that well
too late to post anything of meaning, sorry for the gramatical/spelling errors need a coffee or something

Orange,
I believe that the government structure of true Communism is close to that of a Republic. While the government is not supposed to be obtrusive it does make decisions. Those decisions are from a body that is elected by the people through a series of elections.
