Having not tested every single government type long enough, I was wondering about elections in Republic: I take it you can only choose one kind of ruler if you have a fixed election cycles (every 4 / 8 years), and you don't have any election for any type of government where your Republic's leader rules for life? (which is frustrating since, contrary to monarchies, you don't even know what kind of ruler you'll get next and have no means of picking a good one)
