Sorry, but no.  Please RTFM as I suggested [1].

The definitions are well-established.  Deal with it.  If you want to 
change them, go ahead and try but I’m sure there’ll be a lot of pushback 
from the community.

If you want to record the government of a place, I recommend something 
like municipality:government or place:government_type.

Or just tag incorrectly and don’t be surprised when the map looks like 
crap and reflects poorly on the project as a whole.
