Theocratic Republic?

[Ex Mudder]

If I choose Spiritualist, Militarist, and Egalitarian, why am I always a Theocratic republic? I am getting annoyed by all the religious references when something happens. Not how I envisioned playing this race (Meritocracy, Cutthroat politics). I'd rather be a Military Republic.

I guess the combination of "spiritual" and "egalitarian" has higher priority than "miltiaristic" and "egalitarian", and so the government type/title takes priority.

I'm getting the same thing when I play a Militarist, Xenophile, Spiritualist empire.

Seems Exalted Priesthood will always change it to Holy Tribunal.

I wonder if we can change the government type in the custom empires list.

What Civics did you pick? those have an effect.

Same. Wish I could choose which of the 3 I want.

Choosing a militarist civic sometimes changes the name, like Warrior Culture becomes "Assembly of Clans" while Nationalistic Zeal and Distinguished Admiralty switches it to Military Commissariat. Citizen Service = Citizen Republic, but I don't want +15% naval capacity, even though I like the name.

I'm going to miss all those. Regardless of the actual stats behind them, the names alone gave my Empires a bit more distinction between them all.
