Thanks for the feedback, it is really helpful.
I think I need to make both state broadcaster and internet censorship reduce fake news.
I might rename the genital mutilation policy so its not gender specific. I agree that its very easy to end up with a super high level of ethnic minorities.
I would suggest that maybe having high productivity and competitive advantage can still exist with an uncompetitive economy if you use a combination of hard socialist and yet high-tech policies.
For example, in theory the country could have super-fast broadband, a super-skilled and highly educated high-tech workforce…and yet the unions limit tech workers to only working 6 hours a day, rendering the advantage moot in terms of global competition.
its a fair point that perhaps stability should factor into corporate exodus to an extent.
