Ideologies
- Added the Chartist leader ideology for Trade Unions, Intelligentsia, Petty-Bourgeoisie and Rural Folk. Chartists strongly support Universal Suffrage, and oppose all other forms of distribution of power, opposing limited suffrage less than outright authoritarianism. Chartists can emerge in countries with limited suffrage (Landed, Wealth or Census Suffrage), being more likely with Wealth or Census Suffrage. Trade Unions are less likely to become Chartists after Socialism has been researched.
- Two-Party System makes Vanguardist, Anarchist, Communist, Fascist and Ethno-Nationalist unlikely, but not impossible, to spawn.

Interest Groups
- Standard of Living effect on Industrialist and Trade Union support broadened in categories (highest boost to Industrialist is now at 30+ standard of living, rather than 25+, with 30+ giving the strongest malus to Trade Union support).
- Petite-Bourgeoisie receive a small bonus to attraction from pops between 15-19 and 20-24 standard of living.
- Large cities (15+ urban centres) increase attraction to both Trade Unions and Industrialists for non-government urban pops. Support for Trade Unions scale up faster than for Industrialists, capping out at a significant bonus with 60+ urban centres in the state.
- Intelligentsia will also gain increased draw from religious universities in the state, but much less than a secular university.
- Intelligentsia bonus to pop support from literacy increased somewhat.
- Armed Forces gain increased attraction in states with significant Barracks and/or Naval Bases.
- Armed Forces have a penalty to attraction in states with no Barracks nor Naval Bases.
- Petite-Bourgeoisie can now attract from primary culture and from cultures that would be accepted under National Supremacy, rather than all accepted cultures unless the multiculturalism law has been enacted.
- As long as ethnostate has not been passed and the party leader does not support an ethnostate, pops of a culture that share a heritage trait and other trait have increased attraction to Petite-Bourgeoisie.
- Rural Laborers have increased draw to the Devout.
- The Devout have increased draw among agrarian pops with a standard of living equal to or above 15 (doubled if SoL is 20+), as long as collectivized agriculture is not active.

Other
- Reduced IG Approval from loyalists.
- Slightly increased the additional radicals from discrimination from the Nationalism and Pan-Nationalist technologies.
- Revolutions will try to change 4 laws instead of 2, in addition to the law the revolution is about.

Update: 1 Sep, 2023 @ 3:59pm

Two Party & Multiparty System
- Two-Party Systems have increased ideological incoherence.
- Two-Party Systems receive a small authority boost.
- An event will trigger after elections in Two-Party States, automatically making the winning party form a government in Presidential Republics, and allowing a choice of winning party between the two parties in Monarchies.
- Presidents in republican Two-Party system have increased popularity in their first term, which is reduced and becomes a malus as they serve more terms.
- The USA receives an event allowing a two-term president to resign at the beginning of an election. The President not resigning gives a substantial popularity malus.
- Multiparty Systems receive increased legitimacy from votes, and less legitimacy from including the head of state.
- Yankee and Dixie country AIs are much less likely to opt for a Multiparty System.
- Anglophone and Latin American AIs are much more likely to opt for a Two-Party System.
- Yankee, Dixie and South American cultures are much more likely to retain the Liberal-Conservative Two-Party System after the growth of the Trade Unions.
- AI Countries with Social-Democrats or Trade Unions in government are more likely to accept the transition to a Social-Demicratic vs Conservative Two-Party System.

Interest Group Changes
- The American Petite-Bourgeoisie are no longer monarchists.
- Petite-Bourgeoisie in republican countries whose landowners no longer support monarchy, can become republicans if they have no leader who supports monarchy.
- Landowners can reform their ideology when below 10% clout, and the country does not have Peasant Levies, Serfdom nor Tenant Farmers. Triggers an event where the Landowners will either try to appeal to rural capitalists and shopkeepers, or wealthy farmers. Either reform will also slightly increase their support among Officers as they abandon support for Peasant Levies in favor of Professional Army. Preventing reform makes aristocrats more radical, and drops the approval of the Landowners for five years and increases their political strength as they make one final gambit to return to tradition.
- Differentiated and made it more clear which standard of living affect Industrialist and Trade Union support.
- Trade Union loss of support at high SOL in a capitalist system mitigated, but not removed, by the Trade Unions being in government.
- Petite-Bourgeoisie have increased attraction for non-government administration urban pops if there are at least one urban center, but less than 10, in their state. This effect is stronger at less than 5 urban centres. (small-towns)
- Urban pops have increased draw to the Intelligentsia in states with a University with the secular academia production method, growing with size.
- Urban pops have increased draw to the Devout in states with a University with the religious academia production method, growing with size.
- Moved the State School System production method from Government Administration to University.
- Having no school institution reduces the innovation produced by Universities.
- Reduced the inherent draw capitalists have to industrialists (should still be higher than vanilla due to high SOL increasing industrialist draw),

Other Changes
- Growth of Atheism can now trigger at smaller universities at lower populations (minimum size 5 university).
- Government administration reduces the number of clerks, and adds bureaucrat and academic jobs, at more advanced production methods.
- Restricted Industry renamed to Corporatism (Industry Banned in the base game).
- Fascists and Theocrats have a more positive view of Corporatism.
- Corporatism enables subsidizing all buildings.

Update: 30 Aug, 2023 @ 5:28pm

- Education and Healthcare laws give Government Administration new jobs based on law, and apply half an institution level of additional effect to the states with a Government Administration building.
- Private Healthcare and Private Education gives Government Administration a small amount of minting, to represent the reduced cost of maintaining Private Healthcare and Education.
- The Armed Forces, and any Interest Group with a Pacifist, Jingoist or Fascist leader, has a bonus to pop attraction when at war.
- A small number of Machinists and Clerks can support the Industrialists if they have high SOL with a capitalist economic system.
- Industrialists have increased pop attraction when above 20 SoL with a capitalist system, and decreased pop attraction when below 15 SoL.
- Trade Unions have increased pop attraction at below 15 SOL with a capitalist system, and decreased pop attraction when above 20 SoL.
- Added Two-Party Systems for Presidential Republics and Monarchies. Two-Party systems will greatly push IGs to join the Liberal or Conservative Parties.
- The USA, Great Britain and most Latin American countries start with a two-party system in place, while France starts with Multiparty. Other eligible countries get an event to choose between multi-party or two-party, including countries who later implement democratic reforms.
- Two-Party systems with a powerful Trade Unions IG, and a non-powerful Intelligentsia, will potentially shift towards a two-party system between the Conservative and Social-Democratic parties.
- Rural Folk more likely to join the Liberal Party if Serfdom or Tenant Farming are active in a two-party system.
- Liberal Party unlocked with the Democracy tech rather than Empiricism.

- Doubled the effect of bureaucrat attraction to government IGs, if there is only one IG in government.
- All authoritarian distribution of power laws (autocracy, oligarchy, technocracy, single-party) give bureaucrats increased political power.
- Non-bureaucrat pops working in government administration buildings also receive an increased draw to authoritarian government interest groups, but less than bureaucrats.
- Oligarchy gives a higher increase to capitalist political power than aristocrats.
- Fixed Restricted Industry investment pool.
- Outlawed Dissent and Censorship halves the literacy boost to Intelligentsia support if they are not in government.
