So with Utopia they've done away with governments and replaced them with authorities, is this correct? I'm trying to figure this out in relation to my mod as it had a specific custom governmental body.
To be more exact, the combination of authorities, ethics, and civics will cause the game to assign a name to your government type like "Citizen Republic" (for militarist, democratic empires with the "Citizen Service" ethic) or "Purity Committee" (for oligarchies with the Fanatical Purifiers civic). The name of the government has no impact whatsoever on gameplay; it only exists for flavor.
