- Veto the electoral Bill - it is against us but we have to do that to show that we support the NFP.

- Go for L-1 High Speed Rail
(this will open more personal opportunities in the future with Gus)


* Reception at the Inaugural Ball:

- Be respectful to Karl.

- in the emergency meeting don't insult young sords or anyone and keep it cool.


Note: the reason why you are not attacking young sords party is because you still haven't became a dictator yet, you are still on the sollist constitution.
Turn 2

  • Flatter Marcel and agree to his media deal.

  • Stimulus Cheques for people in need (4) <--- Economy now

- Dont leave at first when serge asks you to and keep showing that you care about workers rights.

- Ban Young Sords
- Veto the GREEN (very useless)

Constitutional Changes it should look like this:

3/5fths can veto (RP wise I take it as forcing Rayne to be forced to listen to his “vanguard party”, practically a more moderate one lets you pass it without the NFP's help)

Assembly and Supreme Court can impeach (unsure if this is needed to pass, but with the ability to pick justice appointments letting the SC have a say isn't too dangerous for you)

  • Confidence Vote
  • No change to threshold
  • Establish stronger decrees
  • Do not change term limits
  • President picks justice appointments

@Katie interesting thanks for the input
Katie 26 Jun @ 11:17am 
This guide still works if you do it on easy mode (and DON'T go to war with rumburg....)

funding the red youth now

I found out why the guide probably doesn’t work. In order to win you also need to boot Rumburg from OMEC and initiate war yourself, Vlagsland should come to your aid if you reiterated their claim of the island in the interview and with some wording it doesn’t effect the turnout of booting Rumburg. Also the revolutionary generation achievement didn’t fire for me with following this guide. I guess you need to start
