Hi I'm Xi Jinping, totally sincere believer in non-revisionist marxism. Please do not question why my entire family became billionaires after my political career took off, that is just one of those 'Chinese characteristics' we like to talk about. Anyway gotta go execute some Uyghurs for not being harmonious enough, peace

i'll spare you the googling, it's zero. the cabinet of literal white supremacist donald trump is more diverse than xi's standing comittee. one of the members is a guy from hunan who got parachuted into tibet as party secretary, then transfered to xinjiang to be party secretary there, literally a minority-oppression specialist

In Victoria 2, planned economies tend to be the best. Because a player with a pretty basic understanding of the economy can make better decisions than the capitalist ai. (However you have to be willing to deal with the economy manually, which is almost not worth it lmao)

in games like victoria, options that give the player more control will always be better for experienced players, because they know how to break the game which ai should never be able to do.

The Capitalist ai isn't even particularly good at doing the job it's supposed to do though. It builds factories where they aren't needed, or it builds them for completely saturated markets. It wouldn't be too hard to incentivize the ai against doing that poo poo.

The general weakness of the economic system is probably Victoria's greatest weakness.

:paradox:

In Hearts of Iron 4 you have to use the console and tag switching to do stuff like get Hawaii to give up the random Spanish territory it annexed after World War III.

It works in their favour in games like CK2 though, where rulers have enough character that stuff like the Caliph of Ireland's spymaster discovering his own plot to kill the Emir of Kent is just part of the wacky fun.

Red World? Seems like a cool idea but really incomplete so far, China doesn't even have a focus tree.

Either way, a laissez faire attitude doesn't jive with pluralism in any sense of the word. Enforcements have to be guaranteed to maintain coexistence between pluralities, and treating it all hands-off invites unchecked power for the dominant group.

Yes but that would require more to represent than a two dimensional graph, in this case it's one end of a continuum of more/less state repression.
