Galactic Civilizations IV: Federations & Empires is the largest governance overhaul in the history of the series. The expansion adds four new forms of government to Galactic Civilizations IV, each running on its own user interface with its own resources, ships, and political mechanics, and each giving you a different way to play.

Four Governments, Four Different Games
Each government in Federations & Empires has its own gameplay loop. Running a Technocracy with its Optimization Grid plays nothing like running an Empire with its Imperial Decrees. The Councilors in Oligarchy make different demands than the partner worlds of a Federation. The form of government you choose shapes how you play.
