        You might want to take a look at the freecivAC project at
http://bellatrix.pcl.ox.ac.uk/~stewart/fcindex.html
Social engineering (otherwise known as compound governments) is partially
implemented here already. Essentially, you can form your chosen government
by summing together the effects of individual constituent governments (in
AC these come under the categories of Economics, Future Society, Politics
and Values - for example, you can form a government which uses Free Market
Economics and Fundamentalist Politics).
