What's going on in your voters' minds? What do they feel? What do they believe in? Any REALLY bad ideas? (Now now, what does communism have to do with anything??) What are they talking about? What do they fight about? Why do they fight? Did history teach us anything?

  - you're welcome to write in the discussions which tagged mod you've found, I'll list them up here
  - technical note for "mission" modders: I'm talking about the _prereq_[country] thing

---
Coming soon - priority ordered (may make a separate mod for some of these and some of the already implemented stuff, keep reading to know more):

- Simulations
• Mediatic Violence
  
  - Situations
  
• ADHD Epidemic
  
  - Ideologies, Cultures and Countercultures
  x
  
  - Other groups:
  
• Positive Emotions (cringe)
  
• Dark Triad (this may be too wishful)

Long term goals:

- more weird stuff right-wingers and "right-wingers" do, cause I'm not trying to be biased, that's the main point of this mod
- probably more weird stuff "left-wingers" do
- some form of referendum mechanic: civil rights, narcotics, fission energy, eu membership, who knows (I'm testing this in my Italy mod)
- this mod will eventually split into at least 3 more; Geography, Infrastructure and Trade --- 21th Century Challenges --- Growth and Demography, the ones I'm already developing you'll find in the collection.
-an additional mod to interface these ones with the best mods around, and a mod to collect fix and update all the good but obsolete ones that are around
-at some point I'll test the viability of a "hidden neurons" mod; this game is all good and fun until you realize some of the worst problem IRL are the ones you don't realize you have. What if you didn't actually know how much crime you have going on? What if you were leaking money? What if ya mum ran on batteries? Doesn't it sound like fun??
- i wonder if i can build an oscillator into the game, lol
- some policies, yeah I know
- more integration with dilemmas
- write the descriptions and make the icons (would appreciate a hand with the latter), I guess
- i'm thinking about it

daddy cliffski pls give us modders:

- why do some (usually override type) links after the first turn are just stuck to low\outside-the-function values?? THIS BUG NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP - currently stuck to using a workaround for this
- whatever PARAdoxiBLE asks for, he's been complaining about the above bug for a while now, comon
- more flexibility and reliability for the Equation Processor, why do we have to reverse-engineer how we're supposed to lay out the functions, make it read the damn parentheses too
- more modding documentation in general
- ??? what's up with global, freq and perc?? What's the difference?
(I think I figured it out, perc for causes and freq as a y in effects, but this NEEDS to be mentioned in the guide)
- just more moddable stuff - on that note - again, why don't all vanilla countries have their own tag?
- load order may be important at that point i guess
- more blog rants
- even more reddit rants (not /s, I love these)
- neuron groups: eg mode of transport, energy mix, earnings distribution, demography etc; perhaps sharing a pie chart if appropriate; not even necessarily anything functionally different, but it would at least de-clutter the UI and present data helpfully.
(I'm managing ("Trackers") by using a situation (to make it stand out...) to group NOICON simulations\situations)
- neutral\misc (yellow?) situations and MIDGOOD simulations tags
- i'm thinking about you

(alpa) = barelly working, just laid the foundation and testing stuff
