That is now cancelled, per 'no longer active' in FreeCiv development. Implementation of this particular feature (more 'Government' choices), which was added to the non-free version after Civ 2, WAS being worked on in PR#14763В . Most people will be turned-off to still be playing -in 2015-2020 and onward- with Civ 2 graphics, its sometimes limited user-interface, & simplistic rules when Civ 7, 8, 9. The consequence of not making at least 1 'newschool' cleansheet design is, since 'limited games' is often cited why people stop using Linux, keeping only the current freeciv would make Linux less likely to be adopted - unless the non-free 'Civ 6' is released (2014-2015) with a Linux version. (Freeciv does already have some custom rulesets which emulate some Civ 3 features, but it's not a 'real'/separate Civ 3 emulation.and Civ2 remains the extremely-outdated standard for Linux.which has a great variety of customising the ruleset, but still doesn't allow many of the features that Civ 3/4/5/6 have -most of which have met with critical acclaim & popularity from players- including this Civ 2.5 era very limited 'government' menu option.) To keep it simple, yet gain support from those (both coders & players) who want a newschool formet and others who prefer to stick with the oldschool format, it may be best to not try to cover Civ 3 or 4, but to make a 'FreeCiv 5 beta' and by 2014-2016, finalize FreeCiv 5 orВ adapt that 'FreeCiv 5 BETA' into a 1.0 (release/non-beta) which emulates most of the important features of Civ 6 (currently expected in 2014-2015). This was added in the non-free version of Sid Meier's games in the 1990's, in what effectively was 'Civ 2.5' - Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri - but that fork/project seems dead.and as freeciv uses Civ2 rules but Civ 6 is expected in about a year, the point may have been reached where everything that can be done with freeciv's current format (for those who still prefer the oldschool rulesets) has already been done. (Thanks to redguts on the forums for inspiring this idea.) The bonuses increase in 'steps' occuring every 3^N turns (ie in turns 3, 9, 27, 81, 243 and 729). Government bonuses increase over time, making it less and less advantageous to switch governments to suit the situation and rewarding successful long-term planning.

You choose one from each category, and all combinations are legal (Planned Anarchy focusing on Conquest may be odd, but no impossibility). Three categories: Politics, Economics and Culture. Freeciv ought to have more advanced governments.
