It was because up to that point, every Paradox MegaLP that got that far had gone super absolutist so the collective goon consciousness desired a change.

Space Zunbils are a loving mess that I have no idea where to start with, but that's a good thing that I say with the utmost love and admiration

Space Zunbils have, as of this writing, have the following hell-holes:

1. Psychic Space Feudalism (The Solar Empire) - featuring deals with horrible things in the void, and good old fashioned chattel slavery enforced by orbital bombardment;
2. Literal Space Fascism (Earn Free State) - featuring concentration camps for everyone the government does not find Human enough;
3. Space Megacorp (Zaibatsu Conglomerate) - featuring "loyalty centres" where customers (and their children) that have lapsed in their payments can work them off with some elbow grease, and troops with genetically-enforced obedience;
4. Fully-Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism with Psychic Elements (United Empathetic Networks) - quite a nice place to live if you're Human, actually, with robots doing all the work, and minor races being gently guided in this galaxy for their own protection, and oh no, what's happening, we didn't see this coming at all -
5. KILLALLHUMANS.EXE (Omni Extirpators) - a robot utopia, featuring unstoppable genocidal rage against all things organic, and honestly, I can't really blame them.

There's also the Psychic Space Monks living around a black hole created by Zun himself (Gaian Co-Operative). They're really nice, actually. Friendly to everyone.

Also, an extra-galactic Hive Mind is coming to feed on everything it finds.

Don't live in ZunLP is my point, basically.

Yeah, Azerilp ended up in a state where we were dominated by an increasingly belligerent its poo poo more together than OTL Russia. As I recall Russia was also heading to a bad place by the end so while Azerbaijan was probably a fairly nice place for its time to live relative to a lot of Goon LP countries it was also completely dominated by a frightening superpower right next door.

It seems like the black shirts and all the problems they have caused stem from the term the reactionary party got some time back. If that vote had gone to the conservatives/liberals would there still be the current troubles?

I mean, we were always gonna have to tackle the Communist problem eventually, radicals and revolutionaries weren't going to stay dormant while we've still got a hereditary noble assembly governing every aspect of society, in the 1900s. The civil war would have been delayed or even avoided if we kept voting the liberals into power, because they would've gotten more political reforms eventually, taking away some of the sting from that mass uprising. The blackshirts would've happened anyway, since they're essentially the reactionary backlash against rising leftist sympathies. But any more Royalist terms would've just made things worse, and probably precipitated the civil war much earlier. The rise of Socialist rule just had to coincide with a spike in tensions, and the Reformed Socialists were a very hypocritical organisation (what with them still being nobles and all), so their continued rule only made things worse.

GRTW had some nukes in the late 18th century, but goons voted against escalating into nuclear/bioweapon warfare during the World War. Still right on the ultracapitalism.

Not an emptyquote.

Also, in GRTW there were legit eldritch horrors to contend with, and Neubauten was a vastly nicer place than Aztec central America, and in the end opposed the murderous Hanseatic Raj.

It's a bit of a shame that the thread is finally abandoning Qadis even if they have a reason for it.

I will say that Andalusian communism is probably less likely to produce the same sort of mass death that happened in the USSR and China from rapid industrialization without regard to most of the populace, since Al Andalus was already pretty heavily industrialized. There's still likely to be purges, but that's more just the ideologically charged civil war.

Thanks! I've thought about it! I've given Stellaris playthroughs after each major update and while I agree it was much improved, I didn't really feel it. Le Guin and MegaCorp are sounding very promising, so if I enjoy it there's a good chance I'll be doing a GRTW follow up. It helps that it wouldn't need modding for anything but a name list and making sure Selatan is a Fallen Empire. One of the major contributors for me burning out was how most V2 updates were accompanied by writing events and decisions.

Anyways, not to kidnap Hashim's thread, death to the Fash!
