Oh ! Interesting ! Can you make a list of these useful policies in description before we download the mod please ? :D

Not sure if it's possible, but any way you could add policies for green air travel? Similar to how the game already gives the option to move from gas-powered vehicles to electric. There are technologies irl that provide options for green aviation.

I find it pretty funny that a lot of top mods for this game are actually accidental releases. Pretty good for a prototype really, and it's sorta obvious by the lack of icons too.

Human sacrifice was made for my SO as a joke, but the idea is you are sacrificing people to the machine gods for increased productivity. I will probably make a separate mod dedicated to cults later but atm I want to get my dystopia mod working. This most is just to test things and learn the tools.

I should point out a lot of the policies have situations tied to them so that I could get more interesting compound effects. Took me a while since the in game editor likes to crash on me. So its kind of a work around for some things. A lot of the 0 PP things are only 0 PP for testing atm since I just want to make sure they are working properly and dont crash things.

Law and Order:
Agency of Digital Security: Improve your infrastructure, end cybercrime, and spend a ton of money for the low low cost of 0 PP!
Improved Police Training: A bit too money-costly actually, but 10 PP cost. Reduces crime and racial tension, improving equality
Under transport:
Infrastructure Modernization and Improvement: 0 PP, +GDP, +CO2, +Prod, -Traffic, +Motorists, costs a lot of money
Green Roads: 24PP, +GDP, cheaper financially for some reason, -CO2, -Traff, -Unemployment
Teleportation Research: 30PP, outrageous financial cost dwarfing all other policies, worsens skills shortage and is not very popular, but reduces unemployment and improves technology

Under public services:
Propaganda, Air Filtration, Additional Gov't Education (improves cabinet efficacy)
Teachers Deserve Better, OP because it's overwhelmingly supported with medium PP costs and not-extreme cash costs
Mental Health Outrage, focused on alcohol & tobacco, but not illegal drugs, even more OP with more popularity and cash cost but can reduce excise tax revenue
And Term Limit Expansion--still not sure what this means but it increases corruption and also your term?

Under economy, there's digital infrastructure, corporate wage incentives, and government investment--the last of which is a decently profitable policy which can pay for digital infrastructure.
Taxes include National Debt Tax, intended to fund debt repayment, as well as progressive tax and govt debt relief (inflation tax) -- again the debt relief tax, despite unpopularity, is OP simply because it carries no cost in PP

However, they're also in other categories.
"Invest in national wellbeing.", which is a generic spending policy
Weather machine, another global warming ish policy
Joywire, a policy with a PP cost so outrageously high I'm not sure if I could glitch it that high with mods unless I bring out the cheat ones with a very high cost (another problem with the mod: almost everything has a cost that's around 75% of the default US "income tax" policy revenue)
Human sacrifice, another lolworthy policy but more grim in tone, with the same 100 PP cost but it's cheap financially and improves your economy for some reason
Nuke 17 Apr, 2022 @ 6:11pm 
Entropic Stabilizer, which isn't bad but is OP (and actually rather unique in terms of gameplay) partially because of additional effects but also because its PP cost is 0.
Back the Bills, which is a currency measure
Light Dispersing Nano-Particles, which I will commend simply for the fact no other mod has added the exact same thing.
Giant Ice Cubes, which made me laugh and has a laughable effect
Debt Management, a policy which improves your debt management greatly and should yield benefits for indebted countries (such as Japan or the USA) but ignores popular opinion
Global Economic Investment, a broadly popular policy except opposed by patriots--probably would be more unpopular IRL
Aggressive Environmental Diplomacy, YA policy for global warming
The above policies are, for better or worse, all foreign policy.
