Would it be possible to include a policy that would make Election Day a Holiday (similar to the Labor Day holiday already in the game) that would decrease voter apathy/increase voter turnout?

I'd love to include something like that, but I don't think there's a way currently to modify apathy/turnout! Hope it's eventually added though, it would be fun to add policies to restrict it too!

Hi dude, firstly outstanding work, and secondly here's some suggestions:

  1. Nuclear Fission Subsides should decrease Nuclear armament cost
  2. Nuclear Fission Subsides should be much more cost effective than renewables in producing energy and reducing CO2 emissions and oil demand
  3. Clean Energy Subsides should increase Technology and GDP, same as Nuclear Fission Subsides
  4. GDP, Wages, Population should be positively linearly correlated with tax revenue
  5. I would love an abolish immigration policy, along with ethnic-based, culture-based and religion-based immigration policies
  6. taxes should have a higher negative effect on GDP
  7. a fiscal pressure value (calculated as avg % of citizens' income gone in taxes) would be great
  8. Prison financing should be better handled, with Private prisons either lowering Prisons Policy's cost, or replacing it altogether
  9. Canada mission somehow doesn't work and crashes the game, should be fixed
  10. Ban and/or tax combustion engine veichles policy
  11. Ban Oil Burning policy
  12. healtcare and education vouchers should be a limited slider policy (like Narcotics) with the following values: Homeless - Unemployed - Poor - Middle Income - Everyone
  13. Death Penalty should also be a limited slider
  14. there is a duplicate Mandatory Foreign Languages Policy, should be fixed
  15. Proportionate Fines should Increase Speed Cameras Revenue
  16. Prostitution Tax should not exist, should be included in either Flat Tax, Income Tax, or Corporate Tax by increasing their revenue
  17. Helicopter Money should be much more inflationatory
  18. Young Interprenour Scheme should also increase GDP, Self Employed Happiness and Membership
  19. When cancelling Public Pension, the Retirement Age should also be cancelled
  20. Public Tax Returns should decrease Tax Evasion and increase the revenues of most taxes
  21. historical evidence suggests that policies on narcotics, alchool and prostitution should increase crime when tilted towards protectionism, and reduce it when liberalized. right now in game they behave in the opposite way

Hey, thanks for the feedback! I definitely see some great ideas here that I'm now planning to include. As for game issues, the Canada thing is a known bug that I'm working on right now.

There are a few things on here that I'd love to change, but am unable to as a result of the policies being base game. I can't adjust the Death Penalty slider or remove one of the duplicate Mandatory Foreign Languages policy.

In terms of what I can do in the next update, I'll specifically take a look at:
  • Narcotics, alcohol, and prostitution as they relate to crime levels
  • Nuclear Fission outputs
  • Clean Energy outputs
  • Prison Financing
  • Proportionate Fines relating to income
  • Helicopter Money and inflation
  • Public Tax Returns

As for the other stuff you mentioned, I'll probably come back to it in the future!

Thank you for reading all that :)
Cheers, and happy new year
One suggestion I have is maybe some sort of like, "Promote Immigration/Refugee Acceptance" campaign thing, because I tend to get never-ending Immigration Protests when playing as a country that heavily invests in space related stuff, since those increase the number of patriots and that causes the protests against immigrants.

Another suggestion that I can think of would be maybe a policy about building bicycle/walking paths? It could scale like "In trial areas - In major cities - In most towns - Nationwide network" or something, with it affecting bicycle usage, health, car usage, pollution/the environment, with a very tiny effect on unemployment at the higher end to reflect the construction of them and like, food stands and stuff that people would probably set up along them as well.

Also, in regards to the energy and law stuff that was mentioned, I personally use [TBR] Volvoraggare!'s Energy Expansion mod, and their Law & Order Overhaul mods along with this and they work pretty well together so far, minus the fact that the Energy Expansion mod seems to currently make it impossible to have enough electricity without using any fossil fuels haha. So maybe you could look at this for inspiration or something I guess.

Is "Helicopter Money" supposed to represent UBI (universal basic income)? I don't see a UBI in the game, maybe I missed it.

Sure! I'm going to add some cybersecurity related policies in the next update.

I'm definitely taking some of these into consideration!

This is a trully great mod! Btw I have some suggestions:

1. Set the bubbles colors like the vanilla game.
2. Increase the languages available or, at least, fix the mod missing text when we play the game in other languages.
3. A Republic/Monarchy option would be such interesting.
4. What about an election like change the country's name?

Thanks in advance!

Hey, thanks for the feedback :D

1. I'll check out the bubble thing. I only ever play in dark mode, so if there's a light mode issue I've definitely missed it lol
2. Yep, this is something that I'm gonna try to sort out after the next update. I'll be looking for people then who can help translate some of this over.
3. I'd love to do something like this, but it would have to be done pretty creatively since I don't actually have access to the game's code which would definitely be needed for a change this big.
4. Same issue as 3 ^^^^^
