However seeing as how everyone with three or more cities is considered a 'Dictatorship/Tyranny'
No, no, no. You're missing the behavior aspect of the definitions.

A 'dictator' is not a 'dictator' because he has more than 2 cities. He's a 'dictator' because he does not want to be in an alliance, and wants to rely upon himself.

Just because an alliance is created by a player with several cities does not immediately mean she has created a 'monarchy'. It only becomes a 'monarchy' if she uses her strength to force other members in the alliance to do what she wants.

The definitions are not meant as 'catch all' definitions. They were simply observations I thought of the other day while at work, that I thought others would find interesting. I'm not afraid of others' opinions Ingro -- this is meant as a discussion. By all means, tell me what you think!
