No, too busy too :-(

I think the original probablities are reasonable.  To give them
some rationalisation: think of them as corresponding to how
much citizens are likely to want to revolt if they think they
have the chance (the capital falls, the government is in disarray...)
Governments to the Democracy end of the enum give lots of personal 
freedoms and citizens are very loyal (eg, compare the bribery 
protection of Democracy); governments towards the other end tend 
to be more repressive, so have to worry more about civil war.

(Note this is just a rationalisation!  I don't want to start 
another war about what's "realistic" :-)
