This is intentional, since otherwise it's pointless to go for Monarchy
first.  There is currently no real "choice" anyway despite appearences.
 This way at least Monarchy has some use.

This only highlights the huge advantage of the Republic and the need for
more balancing.  I think it's very much worth it to resurrect Per's
patch on this since Advanced Governments is still far enough away.
