I like it, a nice balance between specialisation and RP with a delay to prevent instant war-machines.

If these are introduced I think the results of passing the law should be unknown and subject to change, as it shouldn't be so easy to predict the future.

 

I also would like to see the idea of political capital being brought into the game and have the rate at which it grows tied into the current government type and policies in place. If democracy or republic, nations could also have parties and elections which would determine what policies could be enacted. For example, if the conservative party won the elections in your country, then you could still rule if you were a liberal, but you wouldn't be able to do something like legalize all drugs.Of course, there would also have to be some more benefits to these government types as well.

 

 

Just a rough idea but it would add quite a bit to the game.

Even a modern dictatorship does not give all the power to one individual to write, enforce, and decide on laws.

 

There will still be a group of advisers, at the very least, that advise in the legislative process.

 

Agreed! Even Kings and Dictators back in the day often had influential councils around them that helped shaped their rulings in one way or another. 

 

I like the idea in general, It would be interesting to see how it turns out...I like the idea of not entirely knowing the outcome as well, because that is the way it is in real life

Saw your comment on IRC and tracked this down.

 

I like it, though it could be modified to be a bit more than a straight pass/fail. It might barely pass, but it was only enacted with half the bonuses. Or maybe 2/3 or some other percentage, because a "compromise" had to be made, in order for it to pass. Maybe that could be part of "setting up" the law, that the smaller the bonus, the more likely it might pass (like spy odds and how cautious you are).

 

The other thought I had, is whether you could tie it to your nation policies (and then make it so policies can't be changed so often). Which makes sense, because a nation with a particular set of policies, would be inclined to pass some laws easier than others.

I really like the idea and random events. PnW is gonna beat the crap out of Cybernations. 

I love this, it gives a player a chance to customize his nation even more, in a believable way Keep them coming!

This is a neat idea and I love it! I've been waiting for something like this!!!!!! I was wondering though...should I not want to pass a certain law or that it fails to pass, will it come back around later when I start favoring it? Or say that a universal healthcare law was pass, will it be archived for me to call for repealing it later, or will I have to wait for it? What if it never comes back and I'm deeply destroyed in wars? Or say that my revenue cannot maintain the cost, can the law be repealed automatically?  Also, how are these laws going to come about? Are they going to be created and fixed by you? What if then we've gone through all the laws that you have created for the game?
