Depends on circumstances. I'd say Monarchy is best all round, others depend are better on what else is happening. What, no Anarchy or banana?

late in the game i always choose democracy, even when i'm at war, i just bite the bullet on war weariness. mid-game i will go to republic if i have two, but preferably more, luxuries to keep my people content, otherwise i'll go to monarchy so i can have lots of police units.

Depends on circumstances...
Democracy is best if you plan to play a PP game.
Monarchy is excellent if you play an early and middle (or eternal) warmonger.
Republic is probably the best compromise between fighting short wars and building your empire, as war weariness is not immediate and you can still get a decent output during peacetimes.

All of this, of course, is only applicable to my playing style, and may or may not fit anyone else's. That being said, here goes.
In a vacuum, Democracy is the best. Minimal corruption/waste, gold-rushing and hooo, boy, love that worker bonus (50% faster than any other gov't).
The only downside I've found is war weariness, but with US, Police Stations, a full set of luxuries, Marketplaces and the luxury slider with all that trade being generated, it's always manageable in my games. I rarely go to war for very long in the early IA (too busy getting my industrial war machine built for later world domination  ). Unit support is rarely a problem with my increased income.
However, Republic gets my vote because of the quantum leap it gives your civ from Monarchy or, especially, Despotism. Democracy-lite, without the worker bonus, but comes early enough that you stand a good chance of one turn Anarchy even without Rel. and is the first gov't to let tiles hit their full production potential before RR. I usually try to hold out for Rep. and skip Monarchy.
As has been said many times here, though, it's all dependent on style and situation. The beauty of Civ: there are few pat answers  .

Republic is available very early (I switch to Republic as soon as possible, without monarchy), is almost as good as democracy and it is the favorite government of both France and Germany, and I almost always play one of these civs (though I don't know if the favorite government of the civ you play changes something ? less corruption ?).
Sometimes I switch later to democracy, but the transition is not always worth the loss of culture due to the anarchy... |
hi ,
but staying in despotism till democracy aint an option , .....
sometimes you have to wait 5 or 6 turns , sometimes two , during a revolution , ......
the loss of culture is minimal if not to say next to nothing for a switch , most players switch asap when they have democracy , .....
have a nice day

And since the other civs really love to declare war on me (even if I'm stronger than them and I can take all their cities in a single turn  ), I don't like not being able to produce units immediately...
Moreover I won't waste my time researching Democracy, I prefer researching what leads to Infantry
Mad Bomber, put your god bless america in your sig if you want, but I don't understand what this has to do with the thread...
Hmm seems like the avatars are back. |
hi ,
well if you want to get fast as hell to infantry , then go for the democracy gov , more money , more shields , more science , more of everything , ..... its a huge help 
there are some threads around that explain about revolutions
have a nice day

I used to beeline for monarchy when I don't control enough luxuries, and for the unit support and the MP bonus.
but with the proper use of the luxury slider, and the right happiness improvements built, republic becomes more powerful.
I've actually out researched the ai on diety using monarchy. Of course I had a large enough empire and a well placed FP, so it is not that bad.
