nice work!

Update is out, let me know if you find any issues so I can roll out a hotfix.

Great to hear, keep it going!

Yippee!! You are a pillar of this game and one of the very few reasons I still play.

A little update to anyone paying attention to comments, update is ~90% done.

@Coco, Thank you. Already working on both Argentina and Egypt.

Great mod mate! It would be nice to see Argentina, Egypt, Angola and Mozambique.

@Cyber Box, Thank you.

I wish you the best bro take your time with this

@jajang, Will update the release date when I get an idea when it'll be done, I'm busy and haven't worked much on the update.

already may 31th

update when

@Hari Seldon, Should work fine, other than some minor overlap with policies like the UN.

Hello, how does this wonderful mod works with "democracy 4+", if they work together at all? thanks a lot.

@Gringinkol, I've been busy with other projects and things, so the update is still not ready.

The 28th, you say?

@CelestialSword21, No sadly, it's slated for next month, the 28th.

Are you still releasing the 0.82.5 update this week?

@CelestialSword21, Lmao, thanks.

@Adeptus Freemanicus Thanks you're a great mod author I'm gonna do my best to keep finding small random things that I would like you to change in the mod lol. You've probably done more work on this mod than the game creater at this point

@CelestialSword21, Wrote it down for next major update, will see what I can do.

State animal shelters and state animal control right now do not increase or decrease happiness from any demographics. I would say that state animal shelters should increase happiness for environmentalists, make you be perceived as a more compassionate leader while also decreasing happiness of conservatives and possibly capitalists (it does have the word state in the policy after all). Meanwhile state animal control should increase the perception of being a strong leader while making environmentalists unhappy and conservatives happy.

The death penalty policy in game right now does not cost anything to do however in the United States The death penalty is often far more expensive than even life imprisonment. I would say that the policy should have a much needed cost to it, in fact a fairly substantial cost at least in the united states it should be a few billion dollars a year. This could then be effected by another policy in the same category which would be how someone on death row is killed, with something like a firing squad being cheap with lethal injection being the most expensive although the most compassionate way.

I would also love to see an expansion to policing to have private policing. This could be a statistic/situation similar to private schools, which increases based on GDP and the percentage of people in your country that are wealthy. Private policing could be increased by policies such as gated communities and community policing. Also when you have situations such as vigilante mobs that could increase private policing. I would envision private policing as something that decreases equality, increases certain situations such as ghettos but is cheaper than public policing while also allowing some of the worst situations to deal with themselves if you have a high amount of wealth in your country. Private police should also already exist in every country which it is not banned in because of things like security guards at mansions and certain businesses which already exist in real life.

I would love to see an expansion to the Transportation category. One of the perhaps most effective changes would be to create a new statistic for bicycle usage. Bicycle usage should decrease car usage by a lot decrease bus usage a moderate amount and have little to no effect on rail usage. Currently in the game pro-bicycle policies evenly decrease the usage of cars, busses, and trains which is not realistic. I would love to see other policies interact with this statistic such as banning cars in cities also increasing bicycle usage as well as if you have a large portion of poor citizens since bicycles are a more affordable option than motor vehicles.

Ok thanks was a bit confused

@jtanjj17, It's not in the game already, it will be added next major update, which should be the next update unless I release a hotfix.

sorry I'm confused so is it in the game or will it be added in a future update and which upcoming one will it be thanks

@jtanjj17, Added to the list.

may i know if singapore is in the mod if not could u add it

There is one translation issue for german. In the "light bulb menu" you go to "Steuer" (Taxes) and Choose "Revenue Services" (yes, that's also the german name. don't know if thats intentional). The bigger problem is that the description in the right upper part of the window is incomplete. It says "Ein Revenue Service stellt sicher". The sentence is not complete. It translates to "A revenue service ensures" and that's it.

@Panaperez, Hi and thank you, if you cannot notice the new policies for example then yes, unsub and sub again.

I didn't specifically change anything that would have that effect and not that I have any control over popularity at all, it could have something to do with one of the modded simulations though.

I'll keep an eye out over the next few updates, but again, it seems like a weird bug.

Hello! Here again, thankful for such a fantastic mod!
Do I have to subscribe again for the update? I don't notice anything in my game has changed since you announced the update.
(P.S. I agree with the complaints that surveys used to give me 5%, but now they're giving me 90%).

@The Future Looked Bright, No idea why, but I have zero control over anything like that so it's not an intentional feature, others also reported the opposite that they start at 0% and find it hard to win, so it's something weird with the game that the devs need to look into.

I installed this with the game and realised something wasn't right - I'm running 90+% approval ratings and voting intentions from the start of the game, and regardless of what I do, this does not decline. Every election is a landslide of 85%+. This is the only mod installed. Any ideas?

@CelestialSword21, Forgot to comment earlier, but most things you requested are done, if I or anyone else finds any bugs I'll release a hotfix with the changes, otherwise it'll be with update 0.83.

State Orphanages should decrease unemployment the same way that state animal shelters does. it should also be way more expensive, the average cost of an orphanage is 2,000-50,000 a year and with the current amount of orphans in the US that would result in a cost of 6.4B to 128B a year in costs currently the cost is far less than that for the policy. I know that's a massive range I just looked it up on google didn't really do any real research. Policies like Childcare provision and Family planning should also help reduce the cost of the state orphanages policy also the policy should increase youth happiness and possibly parents as well.

Also the icon for Land Value Tax says LAT instead of LVT.

A few small things.

Prisoner Tagging as a policy should reduce prison overcrowding because having more prisoners under house arrest can obviously reduce the strain on the prison system.

This is a problem with vanilla Democracy and basically every mod ever is just that the Drug enforcement agency is a very weak policy which does nearly nothing.

@CelestialSword21, My pleasure, thank you again for the kind words

Thanks for the new update, love this mod

A day late, but the update is out, enjoy!

@Miketonamor, Like a single nation called the EU? No, but might add it at some point.

Is the EU a playable country?

@EntropicChaos, That would be an issue on your end, resubbing to the mod, verifying game integrity, reinstalling the game, are some of the fixes.

stopped working

@OKIPLAY, Bit of a large update, so it will take a while, 5th of April is the first dead line.

when update? Nice Mod

@coso234836, Thank you for the kind words

thank you, your mod is the best

@coso234836, It has to do with some back end things that I cannot directly modify, I will try to find a fix for that.
