Here are some tips to get better... 1. Build parks inside the giant blocks of housing, that raises the land value. 2. Build a few iron and gold mines right away, no need to build roads up to them, but they're your main income source. 3. Unlike what you may think, don't expand rapidly. Only expand when you have plenty of money.
Boss, it's easy, liberal welfare states include states that encourage private industry while also engaging in at least some levels of taxation/redistribution of private wealth for public welfare goals, and promote broad suffrage. Every decision you made qualifies for that continuum. Some redistribute more wealth, like canada, some encourage private industry more, like the US, but they're firmly in the liberal tradition and spend billions on social welfare besides (leaving aside any and all arguments over whether that's good, bad, whatever, just dealing with definitions)
I think this definition makes the notion too wide. Pretty much all modern countries (except for maybe a couple of absolute monarchies or communist dictatorships) are nominal democracies and most of them have some sort of welfare/income redistribution policies. I think there has to be some more specific criteria to identify a country as a liberal welfare state.
Oh for sure, no doubt, these are the broadest strokes here, and its intended to be. But it should serve to remind us that, for the time being, and in this narrow window of history, liberal welfare states cover the most land mass, despite their many incredible specific differences, they more or less endorse representative governments, private property, and taxation for public services beyond military purposes. The details totally matter, but we get lost in them super easy too.
I have a game i think you'd like; it's called Hiveswap, its a point and click puzzle game and the humour is totally up your alley. Also, are you gonna be getting the original roll 4 it crew back together?
Supplemental: its an indie game by whatpumpkin, it's a crowd funded game based off of Homestuck, it's original goal was something like 20k, and they raised 3 million in a week.
Nathan c if he was referring to state and federal then he would have said 50% then. He lives in the Bay area and taxes are very high there, almost communist high.
Lots of times they send him the games for free so I think he might say that to imply that he didn't pay for it. He usually says if it's free or buy at the end but I do agree that he should say from the beginning whether it's free or buy, that way you watch in the right context.
This game seems to forget (as do most poeple) that the political spectrum isnt a line of just left and right but also up and down. Normally displayed as a dimond shape. With authoritarianism vs anarchy being the up and down and conservitive vs liberal as the right and left. The bottom right is fascism and the bottom left is perfect communism. Libertarians tend to go to the top right and comuno-anarchists go to the top left. Somtimes its inverted.
What nonsense. What you refer to as "selfish" constitute the SUCCESSFUL survival strategies that have allowed the human species to thrive. Individualism is in our nature, which is in direct conflict with the tenets of socialism. Any attempt to counteract that is doomed to failure, as evidenced by the destructive swathe through history made by "true" socialist states as they discovered the only way to get people to conform to the hive ideal is through the LIBERAL application of brutal force.
afaik, this game isnt just one line political axis, but two axes *gasp*. however, indeed there are some "too easy" synergies along a cardinal line between "anarchist capitalism" and "authoritarian communist". (but that doesn't mean you can't build either authoritarian capitalist cities [what me thinks when people says fascism] or free socialist cities [or even bland centrist democracies])
I mean, you take lots of money from the business owners, they go bankrupt or loose all of there customers for having to jack up all the prices to maintain the company. Therefore, you should get a boost in tax for a little bit, then no body is working and no one is managing, as the money was sapped from the business owners. It’s like what happens with the Soviet Union, prosperous for a while, then it fell apart.
The game has a bad bent for communism. And the start sucks no matter what, you have to wait till like year 30 to actually start having a chance of success.
Please, don't talk about the economy, banks or anything related to that. You don't know what you're talking about and you're just making a fool out yourself.
"All banks belong to the state"
"hOw am i A weLfArE sTatE?!"
T.K. Baha
All banks belonging to the state is Third Position not welfare state.
In fact most welfare states still have private banking.
T.K. Baha He said that before he nationalized the banks.

IT'S FREE REAL ESTATE
I was going INSANE watching you build mines before you know about trade capacity and ports
10/10
"you get punished for being to left" ... so its realistic then .... *cough cough*
Damn, this looks like a cool game. Great video as usual, Splat.

I thought they meant it in the mean breitbart way. US politics got so many trigger words now :(
My dude, if a hug's ok, I'm offering, because that is some true true, scary ass shit

what are you communicating out of your fingers?
No public funding for schools or law enforcement. No ports despite being coastal. I think I see why his citystates tend to collapse in fire :P
"When I feed the poor they call me a Saint. When I ask why there are poor people im called a communist!"
Sort of the quote form soembody
Hell yeah, I was hoping someday someone would make a game like this...The Music is already Sim City-like.
getting to choose between left and far left is not very exciting.
ebola chan is love The steam community has been pushing hard for a political overhaul.
I agree, anytime I try to do any kid of free market economy it fails quickly!
Really enjoying this game, hope to see some more videos on it.
looks great, lets see what ep2 shows us
Correct me if im wrong but i thought federal bank is privately owned. They just name it "federal" to miss lead the people.
I would sell kidneys for that.
I mean not my kidneys, of course.
Excellent thanks Splatt
This seems great so far
PSSSST...
Its free real estate
Splatty you need things other then residential and commercial and industry. maybe add a school and police
This game doesn't have all that micromanagey shit like SimCity does.
I have a game i think you'd like; it's called Hiveswap, its a point and click puzzle game and the humour is totally up your alley. Also, are you gonna be getting the original roll 4 it crew back together?

NemFX wow
*pssst* It's [SplatterCatGaming] estate
So you have like 3.000 Gold and dont spend it on anything. Seems a bit too save.
Splat, you need education and healthcare to get middle class!
Welfare state isn’t a badddd thingggggg
welfare can mean just looking for the health of the people
How do you beat the game?
I've been asking the same question. How do I win, win win win?
Build a port!
Doesn't high density mean more population per acre.. thus less spacious.. thus lower class citizens.. thus lower land value?
I wouldn't mind more.
OMG I'm dying over here! You pretty much built Sweden. Yup, liberal welfare state right there.
Maybe at least after you die you'll turn into a pile of diamonds.
Well, I know that there are companies that can turn your ashes into diamonds if that's what's tickling your fancy! ;)
25% tax? The state I live in we are taxed at 7% and butterflies don't cause cancer, like California.
And federal tax is around 20-25% (plus your state tax means you pay ~30% tax).
Nathan c if he was referring to state and federal then he would have said 50% then. He lives in the Bay area and taxes are very high there, almost communist high.
And don't forget your 5-8% sales tax, local taxes, school taxes, gas taxes...
Rasip No, not here we have a state tax of 6%, county tax of of 1%, with no City tax, and as far as fuel that is subsidized because we use ethanol.
btw those taxes pay for a lot of states who are failing on almost all metrics
you so download citystate, you should say buy instead
Lots of times they send him the games for free so I think he might say that to imply that he didn't pay for it. He usually says if it's free or buy at the end but I do agree that he should say from the beginning whether it's free or buy, that way you watch in the right context.
u seems to confused communism and socialism a lot ;)
"Communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide." Ayn Rand
that lady could sure talk the poop
Forgot capitalism by debt
Comment and like for comments' and likes' sake.
Those teleporting cars are REALLY fucking annoying.
No fascism?

you got communism close enough really if you want your county to be an authoritarian hell hole
ReddoMao true enough. No tru socialist state has existed. Cause they are not possible as long as humans are selfish.

a lot of sims lately
BEACH!!!

Im diggin it. (Joke) liberal welfare state!? What is this Arkansas
The game has a bad bent for communism. And the start sucks no matter what, you have to wait till like year 30 to actually start having a chance of success.
i don't think you understand politics very well
Clearly doesn't understand what a welfare state means...

weird
Please, don't talk about the economy, banks or anything related to that. You don't know what you're talking about and you're just making a fool out yourself.

Why are you shouting?
