Slitherine

For RP reasons, I'd like to change the government progression.

Ideally, I'd like to play as Carthage and not progress to empire at tier III and instead remain a republic or become a commonwealth.

Can I do this by modding Carthage's starting government to elective or democracy and then start a new game?
Or, can I mod Carthage to start as a republic AND remain a republic at tier III?

Thanks. Loving the game.

Thanks to Pocus, I've found the line

Nice!
