One thing you can do to make them more useful in that case is to give them some culture. I'm not really sure why they don't have any frankly, our laws are an important part of our cultures.

Another thing I've done is add some negative numbers for my Specialists as well. My Taxman for instance collects 3 gold, but also takes away 2 luxuries. So my citizens don't like having them around quite as much as before. And the other two both require 1 gold from the treasury.

For these coruption problems when colonizing I have created 2 new goverments to the game. Empire is similar to Monarchy, but you can only draft 1, not 2, and it has communal corruption; It is availible with Feudalism. Social Democracy is the same as Democracy, but w/o the propaganda protection and is communal: it is availible with Communism.

It's very refreshing seeing an American sporting the UN flag these days. Good for you! And Merry Christmas, Peace on Earth.

Very good idea !!! also in general it is nice if there are more possible goverments
...but did it changed the effect of your courthouses also ???

One question: Is it working fine to create own goverments?
Until now i just created some maps with the scenario editor of PTW... Can i also create new goverments with this PTW Scenario Editor?

It shouldn't. Courthouses work the same for all goverments.

Sure, it's no problem creating a new gov, in fact it's quite easy. There's only a couple things you have keep in mind. Like giving the head of your new gov a title, eg President etc. If you don't the game will crash. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward.

I once built the FP two cities away from my capitol. The capitol, the FP city, and the two between, as well as some others nearby, became a highly productive area. This led me to not worry too much about corruption in distant colonies: they were slow to build improvements, but that was alright. If I needed military units then that highly productive Capitol/FP area produced all those, and airports allowed me to quickly move them.

I've also noticed that when setting up a distant colony, overlapping cities (once they have harbors/airports and some culture) jointly have less corruption as time goes by.
