With the approval rating there could be consequences for having a low approval rating for example 

1. the population could start a riot which could destroy infrastructure or improvement slots

2. civil war could break out in the country  possibly if you won the civil war the countries would reunite. 

I thought that could be a cool concept because I don't believe there are any consequences at all for having a a low approval rating.  

 

Nah

[Absolute Chad]

why because your approval rating is zero %

[Zim]

It more because the approval system is kinda broken currently. It would need to be rewoked completly if you want it to have such an effect.

Does the approval system really matter?

No, and I'm pretty sure Alex said when he introduced it that he only ever intended it to be for roleplay purposes.

You've suggested disadvantages for a poor approval rating, but what about perks for a good approval rating? I feel like without a positive side to it, there's really no reason for anyone to support transforming the innocuous approval rating system into a potential obstacle.

I think Alex said not too long ago he wanted to balance approval rating. And have more interaction with the internal affairs of your country. 

Temper your expectations though, civil wars won't happen, Alex has said multiple times (tens of times) cities are just like land an untouchable resource.

Maybe increase commerce resource production and increase morale in soldiers because soldiers will believe in what there fighting for. Or something like that

Ahhh, the monthly "make approval rating mean something" suggestion! We were about due for it.

Anyway, my usual rebuttal to this suggestion remains: My approval rating stands at -1147.68%. That's negative one thousand one hundred forty-seven percent. Meanwhile the record for lowest approval stands at nearly negative ten thousand percent.

In the past, meanwhile, my approval rating has been as high as something like 300%, and the current highest approval is over 2135%.

I'm pretty sure those facts speak for themselves

To be fair, surely a sudden change that actually makes the approval rating relevant would have to result in a reset for everyone to keep things fair.
