To give the governments more equal strengths, you could adjust the max
rates until each government gives on average the same number of victories
in AI-autogames. You'd probably have to run a large number of games and
hardcode the government of each AI (and temporarily disable the AI's
ability to ignore the max rate). How well does the AI play with the
various governments?  Anyway, I think reducing the max rate of Republic
would be a good idea.
