I’ve been taking notes when I’m playing. There weren’t enough on one particular topic to make seperate ones. Should I, though? For the sake of organization including debate.
-
Do decisions have an impact on how people view you? Trustworthy, strong etc. I was thinking releasing the con man would make you more compassionate.
-
When the national team win should it make more people patriotic? This one may be complex as many would temporarily be more patriotic but some probably stays. I have seen effects that decrease over time but does it work with membership?
-
This one may be well known. Capitalists are hard to please. In the end it feels like there are things people should care less about simply because they are used to it. Ideology also have an effect. Then again it may be hard to simulate because some things are only taken for granted because people aren’t talking about it. Gun rights in the US is one such example. Not only is it priced because of the culture but the constant debates dramatically fuels people’s awereness and sensitivity towards the subject. If Demo4 were to support policy awereness then events and news events seen in the quarterly report could be integrated into that system.

Retired is the opposite. They are still happy even though the elderly are known to complain about changes. And I have to ask why they are so happy about private pension. That’s their own savings.

Changing retirement age

It’s cheaper on political capital to reduce a policy you don’t want down to 0 rather than cancelling it. I tested this on a policy where it was already near 0 but it was still costly to cancel. This doesn’t follow the spirit of the new system (which I think is great!) where the more change the more political capital it takes.
-
Charity should be affected by wages/income. I once learned that Norway is the country that gives the most money per capita but looking it up it’s the US by far. This may be due to the data using average rather than median. Here’s some proof if it for 2014:

One thing to take note of is that many rich people give to charity in their old age or by leaving it in their will. -
Why is it so “expensive” to film yourself feeding a lamb?
-
Should game license affect income and food price? Hunting game is a way to get some extra food and I can see it being more common in tougher times.
-
Should speed cameras help towards crime? It’s a way to track suspects and stolen cars.
-
Aren’t hyperloop projects very expensive? I was thinking if the price should soar at a curtain point due to the advanced and experimental nature. Perhaps technology could reduce this cost.
-
Commuters increasing use of transportations. Bus, train, plane etc increase commuters due to their cost and availability but commuters are known to use different types of transportation. Bus and train/metro goes especially hand in hand.
-
I like the concept of changing or starting policies to get more political capital from the opposition but something I’m missing is working with them to get policies you want.
-
Does the age of the demographics matter? It’s a common saying that you grow more conservative when you get older.
