Fascism (Civ6)

Fascism is a form of Tier 3 government in Civilization VI. It is unlocked by the Totalitarianism civic.
In Rise and Fall, this government's legacy bonus is conferred by Fascist Legacy, a Wildcard policy unlocked by changing governments after adopting Fascism and constructing a Tier 3 government building (National History Museum, Royal Society, or War Department). In Gathering Storm, adopting this government unlocks Third Alternative and Martial Law.
== Strategy ==
Fascism focuses heavily on military prowess. With 4 Military cards, it has more military options than any other Modern Era government in the game and all the tools a civilization needs to obtain a Domination Victory. Its unique effects allow its adopter to build up a strong military very, very fast. Combined with certain leader and civilization abilities, it can open up new possibilities for win conditions for civilizations like America. Fascism's unique effects combined with both of America's unique units becoming available in the Modern Era means this particular civilization can achieve a massive mid-to-late game military power spike.
Civilizations that favored Oligarchy in the Classical Era may also find Fascism's similar characteristics a welcome sight. Scythia and Japan, for instance, may make good use of Fascism's combat bonuses if they aren't pursuing another victory condition. Greece under Gorgo receives an automatic +9 Combat Strength for all units, which can reach even higher if she fills up her Wildcard slots with Military policies.
A few civilizations might seek to utilize Fascism for a non-military reason. One is Wilfrid Laurier's Canada, which can utilize the unit bonus provided by Fascism to train more Mounties and found more National Parks. Others are Alexander's Macedon and Ambiorix's Gaul, which can obtain and (respectively) from training units.
Note that the +5 bonus applies only when attacking and doesn't cover Religious Strength, so civilizations striving for a Religious Victory won't benefit at all from this form of government. It applies to Nihang and Vampires but not to Warrior Monks or Giant Death Robots.
