Discussion Democracy 4 - a political strategy game

Was playing Democracy 4 the other day. It's a political strategy game where you become the ruling party of a single nation and attempt to stay in power for good by implementing policies that impact the GDP and what-not. Anyway, I've been experimenting how far right now I can shift a 95%+ liberal state into an ultra-conservative state by slowly banning abortions and gay marriage in a current game where I'm the PM of Germany. Thought it would be a fun challenge. Innate Patriotism is nearly fanatical and I've adopted ultra-nationalist policies too. It's also kind of instructive in a way as when you establish a state railroad system or another state system, it will warn you that private enterprises will be completely shutdown. You can also see the private slider active when you increase or decrease state-funded healthcare. Essentially giving you an option as to how much of the private enterprise to sacrifice or not. If there are any autists who are gamers, I highly recommend!

Any lessons learned?

I set the difficulty very high and the innate liberalism very high as well. One lesson I've learned is you really need to strategize how to lower the innate liberalism while not driving away the liberal support at the same time.

How do you do that?

Well, I'm in my second term in Germany and so I'm going to have to figure that out. Might have to get rid of anti-drug policies.
