This should be updated :)

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.

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

I have no DLCs...

@<Peruna>
Try running it with just Social Engineering and Extremism DLCs enabled.

This mod does not work...

Perfect job / Täydellistä työtä.

@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.

For some reason this doesn't work with my game, no matter what I try, I have all the DLC :(

@melody.violine
Cheers, I'm glad you liked it. I'm not currently developing the mod as I don't have the latest DLC, but when I eventually get it I will most likely do a big update/overhaul as well. I just have to wait what stupid things the politicians do so that I can make the mod as realistic as possible. ;)

Hi, Gekkibi
I've just tried this mod.
It's not as difficult as I'd expected (so I tried pursuing Free Market Paradise and get assassinated, lol), but it has an interesting start. Good job!

@Gikgik
Mostly the Swedish-speaking, but there are some exceptions as always.

The Finland-specific policies are restricted ones and shouldn't be accessible when playing other countries. If you change your mind in the future then you still have my permission to use this mod. :)

Does anyone support Mandatory Swedish? Just the Swedish-speaking Finns?

Seems like the Finland-specific policies are needed, anyway. Will probably add Spain to the Superpower mod instead. Playing Finland with Superpower would be interesting, though.

@Gikgik
That's not how mandatory Swedish works in Finland. It causes tension between Finns and the 5% because the 95% have to learn almost completely useless language they will probably never have to use.

Nobody likes the new alcohol law. It could make religious mildly more happy, but even conservatives don't like it. ;)

Some ideas about the mod:
* Environmentalists should oppose Wolf Hunting.
* Mandatory Swedish should reduce Racial Tension, but carry a cost.
* Some voter group (Parents, Conservatives or Religious) should be happy from alcohol ad bans.

@Gikgik
Sure, feel free to use the mod. Do I have to notify you when this mod gets an update, or do you update it yourself?

I consider to include Finland with my Superpower mod. Since Finland has nuclear power, the euro and military service, the country fits well into the Superpower mod theme.

Is there going to be an option to rase taxes on herring?

I see, so its not possible to do multi-religions. From so far I've played, I couldn't totally neglect religion in pursuit of science. I mean, that's what Singapore essentially does. Science policies hardly affect religions, yet for these default countries, it isn't possible.
In fact, religion is not really a factor in Singapore politics. Since everyone lives in religious harmony and acceptance.

@凤凰
I've never lived in Singapore so I don't have any idea how different policies actually work there. No idea what is the VAT, the income tax and if it is progressive or not. Any other taxes out there? How big are different social groups when compared to others? Does the government fund public transportation? I would get some info by googling (GDP and poverty rates for example), but that's about it. The "mod" would pretty much be a background flag and completely irrelevant and fictitious starting situation.

PS. Democracy 3 only supports one religious voter group, so if you want to have different voter groups for different religions then that's not possible. Voter groups are hardcoded.

PPS. Germany, UK and France are anti-science..?

@Gekkibi: Is it possible for you to do a Singapore mod? I think its an interesting country and would rather not play through all the similarly "one-religion" anti-science countries the base game provides. Let me know if you are interested.

Ah well, then I'll take a moment more to consider the purchase. Thanks for the speedy reply, though! I'll be sure to get your mod if I do decide to get the game :)

@ihq47
Engine limitations still apply... ;)

Basically this mod is just a "skin". It adds some country-specific policies and sets a certain starting condition but the rest are purely cosmetical (for example the background picture, party names and random names for the ministers). Unfortunately it's not possible to mod anything else, so unfortunately there are things I can't include. Because of this the voting works exactly like it works in the vanilla game.

Great to see just the kind of mod I was hoping for on the workshop's front page! I was going to get Democracy 3 during this sale but was put off by the lack of multi party systems in the vanilla game. I assume Finnish politics have been modded to force the player to take into account multiparty governments, making them to make compromises with other parties to win the vote in the parliament?

@Onkel Wombat
Me too. The problem is that I would have to translate them word for word or else the quotes will lose the context. I'm not that good with English. ;)

I'd really, really love to see the quotes in English.

@Thanandro
Thanks for the suggestion. It would give more reasons to abolish the law completely. Not sure what is a balanced cost, but I wrote this up to my todo-list.

This mod looks fun, but some things, like Mandatory Swedish, should probably be made to cost something.

A simple slider would be enough for the wolf policy.

@Gikgik
Ya, I was planning to make it hurt foreign relation if set too low. I've been designing something that might as well be unnecessarily complex: Wolf Conservation affects Wolf Population simulation (blue bubble), and the higher that is the less farmers like you and if it is too low foreign relationship gets a hit. Wolves reproduce, and you have to balance it so that they don't go extinct (assuming you want to please the farmers, that is). Extinction is a situation (red bubble) that greatly affects foreign relations and environmentalists.

...Or I might just tweak the values and add some inertia to simulate all this...

I might translate some of the quotes.

Thanks for the feedback.

In the Sweden mod, the wolf hunting issue was solved by a dilemma. The policy is a good solution too, provided that the issue is under constant debate in both countries.

Wolf hunting should also affect foreign relations (worse when hunting is allowed).

Quotes translated to English would be appreciated.
