I got a bit too aggressive at annoying people and had to fire a few ministers for disloyalty. After a while I ran out of potential replacements, so I couldn’t continue in the game. Perhaps after an election victory, a new flood of inexperienced and enthusiastic ministers could be recruited? The old ones would retire, you’d think.
Hmmm…I thought I had coded the game to ensure this could never happen, but somehow you have managed it 
I’ll make sure there are always ministers available…
