Maybe if we get really buddy buddy with the US we can convince them to include it in a development aid package, though it would probably involves letting US power companies operate them and being subject to regular IAEA inspections.
Another thing to possibly ask the US for with an eye on combating cartels hiding out in the jungle would be old planes that can be converted to gunships, or CAS aircraft.
In my head I use this for melody from a German folk song, just with imaginary nationalist lyrics.
I wonder, maybe not something most people want but can we change from a presidential to a parliamentary system?
I agree with you, the motto must be universal and the one you suggested brings the feeling of patriotism, which is necessary factor in every revolution.
I was thinking in including in the dictator path, but in machiavellian democratic path (yeah, this path will be made) might be possible too. However, it will be less effective than being a dictator, of course, no democratic leader is too popular for too long, even when they find a way to manipulate the media.
That is true but a skilled enough politician can last for decade+ in the top spot even without totally undermining democracy, just look at Merkel in Germany and our own mr. Rutte in the Netherlands and a couple prime ministers before him Lubbers who also managed to hold on for over a decade.
It is true this is a far more unstable situation then an EU country but it seems we also get a more openly Machiavellian path. Iâm excited to pursue that one with the police background and try to develop the country more in the direction of the Kaiserreich mod definition of âauthoritarian democracyâ.
Thatâs true, but correct if Iâm wrong; none of them actually had a personality cult around them, am I right? As far as Iâm concern, they were the rare cases of politicians who stayed in power because of competence and efficiency. [Itâs an oversimplified view, I know.]
I believe that a system of personality cult in a democratic country could be seen in the cult that is still given today to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk in Turkey. This man spearheaded Turkeyâs independence and spearheaded nationalist and progressive reforms despite the authoritarian and anti-Kurdish nature of his goverment.
I think it would be interesting that in an epilogue of history, the MC is remembered as much as Mustafa Kemal is today for being one of those few examples of rulers who made great profound and permanent changes in their nations, as was the case of Turkey.
Another such example is in Singaporeâs first president Lee Kuan Yew. A legacy full of great esteem but at the same time of controversies like Kemalâs.
Believe it or not, the discourse of freedom can also be appropriated by anyone, even from the political right. And what could the right liberate a country from?
Well, I mention curious examples from Latin America:
In the 1930s there was a movement called the Carlists, of a monarchical and anti-democratic nature, from the speeches that said, it was to get rid of the impurity of democracy that got into the Spanish âCatholic tradition.â They also talked about ridding the country of drugs, pornography and the corruption of modernity as well as restoring family unity.
âOur king performed noble deeds, that is why the virginâs triumph granted him
freedom, justice and honor. The faith of our fathers resurfaced againâ
Lyrics of a song from the Carlist movement called âThe standard bearer of traditionâ
Another example would be the most recent in Argentina with the election of Javier Milei as self-proclaimed libertarian president and branded right-wing abroad, to rid the country of government and bureaucratic corruption to âempowerâ the national worker and businessman so that the economy grows. and do not leave your wealth in the hands of âcorrupt left-wing politicians.â
And quite possibly the closest in the real world to the Kaiserreich authoritarian democrat ideology. Though Kemal comes close too.
Personal competence as politicians, yes, in the case of misses Merkel and our mr. Rutte Iâd debate their actual efficiency though.
There was also Park Chung-hee in South Korea though heâd lean more on the authoritarian than the populist side and of course came to power by outright coup.
I donât think only the USA could offer such help, the Soviets loved nuclear power too, and I think they would love to have a another comunist/socialist power in america
Sure, but this time I wanna play an authoritarian mc with a democratic veneer, indeed somewhat like a South American Lee Kuan Yew, who goes for order and maximum economic development and part of that is also developing a tourist industry and to run that you need lots of fat yankees with even fatter wallets to comeâŠoh and some Europeans.
Besides this is South/Latin America weâre in the backyard of the USA if this mc of mine makes overtures to other power players too it would be the non-aligned movement and, if the game can go into the 90âs the EEC/EU.
One further consideration is that Soviet nuclear plants were not so big on safety though.
I think so, after all the MC will have to create ways to eradicate corruption as well as ensure internal stability by keeping dissidents under control.
I think the first problem presented that we should deal with when we come to power should be âImprove the justice system and transparency to combat corruptionâ vs âCreate better task forces to combat drug trafficking cartelsâ, and perhaps one or more variations for those who want to play corrupt, but at least the people around you should discuss it. I believe it would be a cool challenge to tackle that would provide a lot of exploration opportunities for players such as interactions with NPCs, moral decisions, exploring game morals and building the playersâ world view. I believe that the constitution should not be the first issue, since it involves a lot of negotiation with other parties, to see what the impacts will be, I think it would be a waste to lose the construction of tension on the issue, it would waste several opportunities in the game, it must be mentioned, but the characters need to see something like âWhatâs going to happen?â before âWhatâs happening?â Suzerain did this perfectly, the first problem presented to us is the economy and the constitution, but the real problem we are dealing with is political violence, giving time to build characters, letting us see what their beliefs and goals are. and allows us to build our own character in the middle of it all.
I completely agree. Combating corruption and organized crime in developing countries, as well as judicial reform and human rights issues would be interesting issues for this game to address.
