Political System[]
Political systems offer different passive bonuses and play styles depending on your system. The more autocratic your system, the more your stability is dependent on your quality of life and the less threatened by spies. The more democratic your system, the more stability is dependent on your leader's popularity and the more vulnerable to rebels. Each political system also offers a passive bonus and sometimes a random event which can give you a bonus.
