Has anyone figured out how to use the forms of government listed in the tech tree? I see several parties mentioned along with the forms "Galactic Republic", "Interstellar Democracy", and "Star Federation". This seems to reflect back to GC2 which had these forms of government, but I can't find any way to activate any of these.
Governments are just Techs in Gal Civ 3. They give a big bonus to Total Manufacturing (aka production in the previous versions), but its a passive bonus, you don't have to activate anything.
