Pretty much went into martial law and had extreme nationalism pop up along with race riots right off. Doing well though as the debts vaporizing and the economy is thundering forward.

Not really difficult to flip the deficit into +70 bln, with economics and social stats booming...

But how to get those ungratful SoBs to actually be thankful and vote for me at the end of first term is so far beyond me.... :KScared:

[im getting only 2-12% with pretty much all crisis ended, and social/economy on the run to become a paradise in few turns..]

Stayed in office for only 1 term. In that term I achieved the following:
GDP +34%, Poor Income +60%, Health +20%, Education +13%, Crime -43%
Got 12% of the vote...
Yup, sounds like Greece. Doesn't sound like a fun or plausible mod though.

Did it. Solved all of Greece's problems. 98.86% are voting FOR me, removed everything except Tax Evasioin (Which i cant get rid of. At all.) And im only 3billion in defecit - and thats while the Global Economy is in masive recession and im still paying debt intrest. Unemployment is under 10%, homelesness eradicated, Technological advantage...

And the only option i changed was "Compulsory Elections" to "On" - but i dont think it matters, because, as i said, 99% of the population is in my pocket. There is no-one to vote against me.

10/10 would fix world problems again.

Ive actually played it now, and i have to say, very challenging. Very fun. I didnt make it a single term before i got assassinated by the religous party (For some reason. I didnt do anything to piss THEM off!) but i DID manage to make a positive ballance of about 10billion. It was all going well, but DAMN is it hard to get "Everyone" happy!

Challenge. Accepted.

*One Term Later*

Challenge. Lost.

Pretty accuracte, but Greece has National Service, in the form of conscription.

This is so hard. I fixed the debt crises, cut taxes, and had crime way down. I also did some pandering to the voters along the way. I still went down to a massive defeat. Since the debt crises was the biggest issue upsetting voters, I expected a huge rebound once I licked it... but I didn't get any love at all for fixing the country's greatest problem. =(

I just subscripe the mod.... And may the God be with us.... Ο Θεός και η Παναγία μαζί μας παίδες!:gas: άμα μας βλάλω από την Τρόϊκα να ξέρετε ότι θα κατέβω στις επόμενες εκλογές... (Σαμαρά σου ρχομαι από "αριστερά")

Seriously there is almost no one in greece who is atheist bro 30% might be religious but like 80-85% is orthodox
FrancS 13 Jul, 2014 @ 4:18am 
Great mod! But i think you should reduce some of the religious people cause some here in greece half are atheists.
Butcher Pete 7 Jul, 2014 @ 11:37am 
This is a bit bugged. There is an exploit where if the debt goes too high the game will crash after autosaving. When you load that autosave, the debt will no longer exist -- so long as your expenditure remains massive. Thus the more you spend, the less debt you have.

This might need to be fixed... Just maybe?
VaggelasDuke 20 Jun, 2014 @ 11:12am 
how do i download the game?i subscribed! next step?
Gimmly 21 Apr, 2014 @ 10:06am 
I like the fiscal evasion mechanism in the game. Difficult to win with realistic policies, but not really with gamey tactics.
roland 10 Mar, 2014 @ 1:32pm 
@rasmuzo: That's very good. I used the wrong term, I was thinking about unrealistic measures; flat income tax besides income tax, introducing high carbon tax rates, etc.
GRekoAssassino 8 Mar, 2014 @ 3:35pm 
I did it really well on my second try of the game, I managed a 98% elections result after second term
rasmuzo 8 Mar, 2014 @ 1:13pm 
@Roland. I fixed Greece on 200% difficulty. Turning fra credit rating C to AAA in one presidental term.
I don't know what determines cheating in this game, but the key to curing the economy is to impose a maximum carbon tax as early as possible.
evmagio 6 Mar, 2014 @ 12:35pm 
Nice work
roland 1 Mar, 2014 @ 1:54pm 
Did anyone fix Greece on 160% difficulty without using any 'cheats'?
J3R3M 23 Feb, 2014 @ 7:11am 
Not bad
[FaZe]|xXX\Akman/XXx| 14 Feb, 2014 @ 5:18am 
You should reduce the amount of religious people.Trust me,only about 30% are religious in Greece.Most are agnostic or atheist.
mjohnson415 10 Feb, 2014 @ 4:08pm 
Pathetic, unplayable fix it!

crashes upon the first turn
Guidrion 3 Jan, 2014 @ 12:18pm 
It was a very nice mod. I actually found the scenario quite easy but so far, I've never experienced mindblowing difficulties. There are however a few issues but it's mainly due to the current state of Democracy 3. I think the problem of playing a country in the situation of Greece is the lack of corruption, bureaucracy and tax evasion meaningful mecanics in Democracy 3. There are other critical issues such as the shipowner and orthodox church power (and tax cuts) and the island issues. If you ever wish to go back to that mod, I'd happily give you some help and ideas.

Great mod! I managed to get things on track on my second try. Challenging but very winable. I liked the tax evasion crisis, but it would be nice to have a way to resolve it - maybe through custom policies? It would be a nice core game mechanic.

My strategy was to diversify tax income so I could lower income tax. You can set various taxes very low (or to 0) and get some decent income without many penalties. This is especially true with the flat tax (which may be a bug). You should be able to keep the larger groups of liberals, religious and socialist all pretty happy heading into the first election. This was fun because it involved a lot of religious policies I usually never use.

I really liked your mod, can you please do a mod of Portugal?
dmcdermo 1 Dec, 2013 @ 5:15pm 
i cant get this to work at all on my PC. whatever i do it wont show up in the mods screen
Guvvis 26 Nov, 2013 @ 3:57pm 
Love it. Only drawback is that it keeps crashing around the time of the first reelection. Second attempt, crashed again, only this time after the election instead of before. Hasn´t happened with the game in any other scenario. A shame, otherwise, great.

RabidIBM 11 Nov, 2013 @ 1:47pm 
So now that I've had a sucessful playthough, really all I have to add is that there needs to be some way to deal with the tax evasion situation. I even tried saving and the canceling every tax that contributed to it, and it still only fell to between the two bars.

I'm not sure that having that much "Greek tax evaision" is really needed. Would it be possible to make the game start with this situation active without adding in this factor?
jamc 11 Nov, 2013 @ 9:58am 
First off, implement the flat tax that will at least balance the budget (and even give a surplus), then go after homelessness and unemployment by boosting research to the max. ... hard but manageable.
Craighancock1983 11 Nov, 2013 @ 1:13am 
Xietanu, your right, took a few attempts but once you get re elected first term it becomes alot easier, now got 97% popularity rating, a AAA credit rating and no debt, only a small reserve tho by end of second term, great mod mate
Xietanu  [author] 10 Nov, 2013 @ 2:37pm 
Craighancock1983 - I've made it through a couple of terms and got things under control a couple of times. It's definitely possible.

Rabid - No, I've not touched anything like that. People are just very angry because their economy is screwed and none of them have jobs.

Generally what I'll say is that it takes a really careful balancing act of getting the debt under control as quickly as possible without making people too angry, then fixing the economy and doing that fast enough that you can then afford to put in policies and things that people like so that you win the election. You will spend a lot of your first term incredibly unpopular because you're fixing things, but once you have you should be able to win popularity quickly.
RabidIBM 10 Nov, 2013 @ 12:25pm 
Did you do anything to up the chance of getting assassinated? I've played this 3 times now, and all 3 times I've been getting things under control only to get killed. Once by capitalists, once by religious, once by liberals.

Cant get past 1st term, top schools, doubled health spending, debt down 33%, income tax down from 45% to 35% and country has AAA credit rate, had 62% support before election then lost election by 25,000 votes. Anyone actually had any joy
