Questions and complaints
I know that I had to make some decisions while making this mod that might have been a little controverslial. If you questions about them or complaints than I would like to hear them, so I can explain my decisionmaking. If you have better alternatives for things in this mod than I would love to hear them.

Will you add monarchism as an ideology?
Loopdeloopers  [developer] 21 Dec, 2022 @ 4:20am 
Monarchism is already included in despotism basicly. And constitutional monarchism like what you currently have in the Netherlands and Sweden falls under de parliamentary democracy category. Many of the flags in despotism are also pro-monarchy flags or royal seals. The UK despotism flag is for example the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom.

@Dorimeme also are the rebel and insurgency patches good now?

What about depostic ideologies that aren't monarchies then, which do these fall under? As for the BF2 flags these are better now. Is there any chance you could clean up the dirt effects? The flags should be clean like the MEC flag, you could refer to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/vexillology/comments/sikx8k/two_flags_of_fictional_powers_from_battlefield_2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

@Dorimeme, Despotism is multiple things including authoritarian forms of monarchies, military junta's, colonial oversights and other forms of more openly dictatorship like states. How despotism differs from some of the other more dictatorial ideology groups like F@scism or Communism, is that Despotism isn't extremely ideologically fanatic.

So basicly despotism is used in my addon as an undemocratic form of state that seems also pretty open about it, without having a fanatical extremist right- or leftwing ideology.


Other not / less democratic ideologies in my mod are:

- Controlled democracy: states that try to act as they are full democracies but in practice they aren't.

- F@scism: all forms of fundamentalist rightwing ideologies including N@zism and Jih@dism.

- Communism: revolutionary authoritarian forms of socialism like Marxism, Stalinism and Maoism.

- Socialism: revolutionary (more) libertarian forms of socialism. At least a bit less extreme than communism but still dictatorial. This includes leftwing anarchism, Ba'athism, etc


I know that some things are not fully accurate and could be split up in a large amount of subideologies. But than this whole addon would get to big and that is why a categorized the subideologies into forms of overlapping ideologies.

To get an even better explaination of the ideology choices and what they resemble, read the description of this addon. I wrote a more detailed explaination over ideologies in there.

Also I do want to note that I write this from a Western-European perspective due to being from the Netherlands. I know that people from different parts of the world might view this in a different way.

@Dorimeme as an addition to my explaination, I will give a couple of examples of the ideologies and subideologies with current day coutnries in the addon:

Parliamentary democracy: Sweden (Conservative Democracy (with monarch) )
Controlled democracy: Belarus ( "Democracy" with controlled opposition )
Socialism: Syria (Ba'athism)
Communism: North-Korea (Communist personalistic dictatorship)
Despotism: Saudi Arabia (Authoritarian monarchy)
F@scism: Afghanistan (Islamic fanaticism)

@Loopdeloopers thanks for explaining!

Heyo! Just had a question, would you possibly be making flag poles with all of these flags as well at some point? I had a few scenario ideas and it would help the "immersion".

Do you think you could add flag poles with these flags on them?
I can't seem to figure out how to equip them
