B Maximum John Lennon! Has there not been enough blood lost for land and wealth? Intolerance leads to murder and death, displeasing the all-merciful one.

No! Onhe day we'll finish a Pardox LP as a shining democratic tolerant haven! Jerusalem failed, Germany failed, Crete... was... so... close, but this time it'll be different, this time we'll make it!

I see, so what you're saying is that it's likely the sunnis in Yerevan are working with the unfriendly-Persian government to bring us down?

Of course not. They are Azeri. But the thing is, they are Azeri that are prosecuted. Man is pretending to be the judge on matter that only God can judge. It is arrogant, blasphemous even. These people need to be welcomed. They act their worship out differently, but they are still part of our community.

Do you notice the number in the top? It says 1440. It is now 1540. They are Azeri now. The ones insisting they are NOT Azeri, tend to be called rebels. If you keep saying to these people they are not Azeri, YOU are telling them to rebel, YOU are formenting rebellion. They are now part of our people, as are their religious ways.

We could call it Nieuw Limburg and maintain the association with "a lovely area in the south of the country that is also full of old people"

Hey! I'm from Limburg! (Belgian Limburg) < :mad:

However, Limburg has does have a lot of fruit farms, and Florida has those oranges, right?

Also, Oranje is very much associated with Holland, rather than Flanders.

Will we expose the wonderful people of Azerbaijan to the whims of those in power, simply out of fear of the Russian? This too shall pass. I have confidence in our army and diplomacy as it is. This can simply not wait.

So, while the cabinet skill would be useful eventually, in the current situation, it's not that important. Which is interesting, since the main argument for cabinet is 'we need it right now'

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind cabinet. Amongst other choices, I'd go for it, but it's not that critical right this instant, so if that's your reason for A, you might wanna reconsider. While B might actually be relevant if this war turns into a long battle of attrition. It's not how I personally judge these things but hey.

As for RP wise, there's reasons why Azeri nobles might decide to do this. Perhaps they are simply following enlightened philosophies. Perhaps they wish to see Azerbaijan acquire more foreign lands for itself, and want to prevetn uprisings. Perhaps they just want to clearly distance themselves from Russia's brutal serfdom. Perhaps it's influence from the equally enlightened Armenian minorities.

Also, B doesn't mean we'll guarantee freedom of expression for everyone. These bill of rights might simply guarantee that a noble can't just kill and torture you for shits and giggles. The exact nature of these rights that are guaranteed are not defined, and likely depend on how far our 'free subjects' meter goes.

Not what I hoped for, but indeed, Cabinet was likely a National Idea I would have voted for in another session anyway. It gets us away from absolute monarcy. We'll see what happens then.

Aaah, the Crete LP. I adored it, but at some point I noticed I was taking it too seriusly and genuinely feeling upset when democracy ended. Which is why I stepped out.

Anyway, a grand LP it was Wiz, and thanks for the people that made extra contents as well.

Welcome to the ~~Republican~~ Populist Party

And man, I was totally bummed out when democracy fell. I really got way too involved in that. I wasn't one of the superstars, but I managed to get some stuff done as well I think. It's been some time ago.

In Tropico maybe I should be a Sweatervest. Demanding the execution of sinful people, hurrah.

Hmm, I'll go with the religious party this time. Not going to be part of some unique group. Whether we'll go with the Liberation Theology kind of Christian or Tea Partiers we'll see in the future.

There are various things we can gently caress with in Tropico. We can set the wages of individual jobs, we can set the rents of different kind of homes, we can imprison, execute, cause accidents, bribe and excommunicate individual citizens or certain classes of it, we can have people fired or evicted, we can order construction or destruction of buildings, different upgrades, different modes, hiring specialists, etc. etc.

I think there'll be plenty to vote about.

Do we have a religious isolationist party if so sign me up!

I will be part of the religious party, working towards a virtuous Tropico, with lots of churches, good Christian schools, godly laws and banning the devil's drink.

Hmpf, Why did we ever take that drunken sod of an Esteban as our spokesman again? Alcohol leads to corruptiion of the body, mind and soul. It leads to licentiousness, sloth and worshipping pagan betentacled creatures. Trust me, once El Presidente backs us, we will pour all that vile subsance into the sea.

All political systems will, in the end, be only as good as the virtue of the people running it. With Faith, all systems will succeed, without it, no system will prosper. Capitalism will destroy itself by greed, communism by envy, militarism by wrath and nationalism with pride. I am open to plenty of these systems being used, but they must be used by virtuous people.

Also, once Russia declines, we'll take them into our Sphere of Influence. And Russia has not been unkind to us, so we would be okay iwth them.
