To expand on what I said in IRC, we need to make sure with the new 
governments design that actions remain reversible until the end of the 
turn.  Any changes may be immediate, but if you change something and 
change it back before the end of the turn there should be no penalty or 
disadvantage for doing so.

This corresponds to the way changing governments works now, and to the 
way it worked in SMAC.  In the current code if you change from despotism 
to republic you're immediately dropped into anarch.  However if you 
choose despotism before the end of the turn you're returned straight to 
despotism.  Your CMA may have to adjust but there is no outright penalty 
for doing so.

This is also the way changing city production works.  If you change from 
building a wonder to a unit you lose 50% production.  But if you change 
back to a wonder you get that production back.
