I think swapping yellow and green, and green and cyan makes more sense if using your reasoning. I haven't done it because it's a breaking change compared to adding distinction between green and cyan, they were both previously just green. Also having <i>assembly-independent republics</i> as green closer to yellow is fine with me, as those systems differ in one feature, accountability of the government to parliament. In same way <i>semi-presidential</i> and <i>presidential</i> systems differ in accountability of the government to parliament. I made a handy Euler diagram of the legend to demonstrate, you can see on the right.
