Extradite the terrorist. Also, we should legalise all drugs. Since alcohol is now too expensive to afford, the poor need something to distract them and it may as well be LSD or heroin.

I find it kind of funny that banning creationism in schools is so expensive when that has been a total non-issue in Germany for a really long time. Makes me wonder how much of the starting policy setup of all the different countries is copy and pasted from the US as the default state.

It occurs to me that, in addition to targeting the causes of our nation's problems, we should be picking demographics to focus on for our support base. We've got Environmentalists in the bag already, and socialists and state employees are doing alright, so could you tell us about one of our other big voting blocks - commuters.

The LFAP is an objective and just party. We should keep the charged man. I am also extending my vote to legalize LSD. We've got riots, people, so this will legalize both the ganja and LSD, and we all know how docile stoners can be. Didn't you see what happened in the US with that occupy wall street bullshit?

But yeah, I think the game's model is only slightly tweaked to accommodate other countries. I do indeed believe this is the case. However the DLC (or one of the recent patches) introduced an option to randomize the starting settings for the nation, giving a bit of variety in the policies and voter base you start out with. I haven't played around with it a lot, so I'm not sure if you can get some crazy starting situations using it. At least it gives the game an excuse for your not being like its real-world counterpart  FredMSloniker posted:Shouldn't this cost 30, per earlier in the same post? It should indeed, thank you. I know for sure I corrected it in some document or other, but it must have uncorrected itself. I will edit the post to be accurate!

We've got Environmentalists in the bag already, and socialists and state employees are doing alright, so could you tell us about one of our other big voting blocks - commuters.  Commuters like everything that makes their trip to work easier, such as cheap and efficient buses, trains and monorails. They dislike sitting on the bus forever due to traffic congestion. Their interest are often at odds with the motorists, who hate money being spent on transportation modes that don't involve them getting to drive their pretty cars. However, both groups enjoy low traffic congestion, so spending money on road building or other congestion-lowering solutions can end up pleasing both groups somewhat in the long run.

paragon1 posted:Hey Covski, can you show us what Legal Drug consumption effects? We don't currently have any legal drug consumption (since no drugs are legal), but it is affected by how tolerant the laws are, the amount of taxation on legal drugs, and the GDP. It has negative effects on productivity, health, and also reduces alcohol consumption.

It probably stands to reason that having a workforce addicted to heroin is even worse than having a workforce addicted to alcohol.

The final tally: Extradite the suspect - 8 Keep him here - 18 Since there was no strong opinion either way, I decided to try out the idea of spending all available each turn. This will mean that small popular changes (and thus cheaper in PC) will be easier to implement. This will hopefully make things slightly more interesting and let us get more done each turn. Ban creationism in the schools, 30 PC - (8)+4=12 votes Senerio, Tetrodo, anilEhilated, Danaru Implement Business Startup Campaign, 2 PC, - 170 Mn per quarter - (3)+1=4 votes Nuramor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More prostitution! 12 PC, no budget change. - (6)+3=9 votes Nyaa, Wagrid, Haifisch Implement Luxury Goods tax, 14 PC, +3 Bn per quarter - (4)+4=8 votes TheMcD, Deceitful Penguin, Reinbach, Eumenides Implement Taser Policy, routine level. 25 PC, -1.3 Bn per quarter - (5)+3=8 votes Kodos666, Ahundredbux, TaurusTorus Legalize all drugs, 27 PC, No budget change - (1)+5=6 votes Robhol, Control Volume, Eastbound Spider, Broenheim, The Saurus Implement Space Program, default funding, 24 PC, -8.48 Bn per quarter - (1)+3=4 votes Master of None, IAmTheRad, Arraxis Implement state housing, 13 PC, -17.13 Bn per quarter - 2 votes Perestroika, Baron O Beefdip Legalize LSD, 27 PC, no budget change - 2 votes JGBeagle, Izzus Expand Rail Funding, 10 PC, -4,17 Bn per quarter - 1 vote A_Raving_Loon Maximum restrictions on alcohol, 13 PC, no budget change - 1 vote Z the IVth, Raise drinking age to 21, 13 PC, no budget change - 1 vote paragon1 Monorail!, 14 PC, -8.15 Bn per quarter - 1 vote SirArthurIV ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  TURN 3 The LFAP took a decisive stance for keeping the suspected terrorist in Germany. The move was cheered by the liberal majority, although patriot websites across the country expressed discontent at allowing a foreigner suspected of violent acts of terror to stay in the country.  The "Gott Raus!" act finally passes. Liberals celebrate what they call "Germany's long overdue step out of the medieval ages", as religious groups are disgusted by what they feel is an infringement of their rights.  At the same time, a less controversial proposal to support startups is snuck through the Bundestag, with the hope of doing something about the poor business climate in the nation.  After nine months of Lederhosen rule the state of Germany appears stable.  There is much rejoicing as the noted chemist Georg Schadenfreude wins the Nobel prize, bringing a prestige boost and stimulating investments in high-tech biochemical industries. Especially the patriots see this as proof that Germany is, in fact, the greatest country in the world.  However, the government's inability to balance the budget has caused the credit rating of Germany to be downgraded.  This is worrisome news for the budget, as the interests rates increase steeply.  Support for the LFAP remains high, with over three years left until the elections.  The popularity increase is largely attributed to the happiness of the liberal majority with most of the recent reforms.  The liberal glee over the Gott Raus! act and the asylum granted to the freedom fighter completely counteracts their displeasure with the introduction of police drones. As you can see, one of their other big gripes is the policy of compulsory ID cards. (which helps a lot in fighting crime, however)  The Nobel prize is exquisitely timed, as it makes the patriots promptly forget about that dirty terr'ist occupying our precious soil. They are still concerned that our military is too small to properly defend ourselves though.  The religious are quickly becoming one of the more unhappy groups, though it is expected that their membership numbers will drop over time with the policy of only teaching evolutionism in the school system. You'll also note that they have gained a bit of cynicism, making them less likely to trust the government in the future.   The increases in homelessness and rioting have evened out, and are remaining at a stable high level.   We are finally starting to see a decrease in alcohol consumption and thus abuse, due to the high taxes. LEGISLATION TIME No crisis to vote on this turn! 25 PC available. (we are expected to gain 24 next turn) The agenda currently looks like this (note that some PC costs have been changed, in part do to changing political climate and in part due to me correcting earlier mistakes): ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- More prostitution! 12 PC, no budget change. - (9) votes Implement Luxury Goods tax, 14 PC, +3 Bn per quarter - (8) votes Implement Taser Policy, routine level. 25 PC, -1.3 Bn per quarter - (8) votes Legalize all drugs, 27 PC, No budget change - (6) votes (Conflicts with Legalize LSD!) Implement Space Program, default funding, 24 PC, -8.48 Bn per quarter - (4) votes Implement state housing, 13 PC, -17.13 Bn per quarter - 2() votes Legalize LSD, 27 PC, no budget change - (2) votes (Conflicts with Legalize all drugs!) Expand Rail Funding, 10 PC, -4,17 Bn per quarter - (1) vote Maximum restrictions on alcohol, 13 PC, no budget change - (1) vote (Conflicts with Raise drinking age to 21!) Raise drinking age to 21, 13 PC, no budget change - (1) vote (Conflicts with Maximum restrictions on alcohol!) Monorail!, 14 PC, -8.15 Bn per quarter - (1) vote ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Covski fucked around with this message at 12:50 on Mar 28, 2014 |
