Description
This mod lets you play as the Finnish president. The starting policies are an approximation of the current political situation in Finland. Some changes have been made because of artistic freedom. Note: requires both Social Engineering and Extremism DLCs.

Current features:
- 4 new policies: Alcohol Advertising Restrictions, Mandatory Swedish, Yle (Finnish Broadcasting Company) and Wolf Conservation
- Finnish flag
- Finnish names (402 male forenames, 433 female forenames and 197 surnames)
- 19 (in)famous quotes by Finnish politicians (in Finnish)
- Optional list of Finnish political parties. You have to manually replace the partynames.txt in data folder
- Somewhat accurate starting situation
- Adjusted voter group population to better reflect different voter groups in Finland
- Tweaked overrides (higher anti-social behaviour and petrol protest)

Future features:
- more (in)famous quotes from our beloved politicians (maybe even in English some day)
- Country-specific events
Democracy 3 modding is not high on my priority list. I will do it when I feel like it. I will keep updating it and fixing any flaws I (or you) find.

Note: The reason why term length tick is not visible is because it is set to 6 years. If you want to use realistic term length then don't touch this parameter. I've been asked why the player is the president and not the prime minister. The reason is that even when the prime minister is the head of government, he is nominated by the president (and voted by the parliament). The citizens can't directly affect who is their prime minister, and this is the reason why I thought it is better that the player plays as the president.

Constructive feedback and criticism is welcome. If you think something is not balanced then feel free to share it.

Well, when I play I do a good job and have about 98% of the votes and after winning the first election I do a few turns and the polls crash and keep stuck at 27%~29%. It's so weird because the voter groups don't change in size and I don't completely change my policies. The polls just crash for no reason, this also could be a glitch.

@Den Dave, the mod is using the identical game mechanics all other mods use. You just have to please the voter groups. Unless a patch broke something spectaculary it should be doable. For example do you get any votes in an election?

Do you maybe know why I can't win elections when I pay Finland? I can win elections when I play other countries, but not when I play Finland like I said. I didn't have this problem before and I don't think this is because of other mods because I haven't installed new ones.

Then that is the cause of your problem. This mod has dependencies (listed on the right side of this page).

I have no DLCs...

Try running it with just Social Engineering and Extremism DLCs enabled.

@wilian
Are other mods working? How did you notice that it's not working (did the game give an error message, are some of the game mechanics broken, etc)?

Could you deactivate Clones & Drones and Electioneering and test if it works? When Clones & Drones was released it broke the mod. Maybe the same happened with Electioneering.
