I have been told that it is not bugged, and the balance issues between the different governing styles are being looked into.

Actually I think to determine if religious/commercial is worth it in comparison to Conquest the question has to be are you getting a LOT more power/comms than you would with the same ruling style/Conquest combination thus offsetting the fact that you probably won't get as many villages.
Having experienced and seen the numbers for all three (in terms of power anyway) I'd say the answer is a definite no. As benign/religious we get the same power from the village as when neutral/conquest. I'd actually bet that a despotic conquest nation would get at least 200 to 300 more power each month then a benign/religious.
So, if a nation that is conquest based gets a visible advantage over other nations in terms of villages opinions of them (which may or may not matter all that greatly when the village revolts but you have to assume it does actually matter) and they're not really sacrificing all that much power/comms to do it, why would a nation want to use a different governing style which requires its citizens to spend what is shaping up to be an infeasible amount of time running about doing influencing/commodity quests?
Just seems like some tweaks are needed.

Conquest is definitely the best from everything I have access to as well.
It's just not exactly the best RP mindset for a Commune (or any highly religious / fanatical organization).
