Should've had the Discord vote for the parties and then made a parliament where each of your team of party leaders voted with the value of their respective party.
I do feel bad for him. Dude sounded so done by the end there. All because he'd actually try to play instead of intentionally doing everything as poorly as possible.
Seeing how you ruined countless countries, reminds me of my best and favorite run in Democracy 3, which I played seriously, angered the liberals, created a police state oppressing liberals, and on the faithful moment, I misread that religious school boosts racism. In the matter of three rounds, I created an egalitarian society, and started country-wide race wars in my Canadian police state, with a surplus of 100 billion. Basically, I made Canada to be Quebec just without the French aspect of it.Dozens of assassination attempts by liberals but every single one was avoided because I maxed out everything I could, and expanded shit ton of jails, increasing jobs and people inside of it. It was left on cliffhanger because I was mad that I accidentally invented NCR ( New Canadian Racism ) because I wanted to create a theocratic police state

I legit have to stop watching this video after the second election rigging to prevent Jan from participating at all. Kept him there with the promise of being able to maybe run one session by winning the vote and openly refused to let him win. That was fucked up as hell.
Each applicant was asked the same question by the college admissions counselor, "Are you a leader or a follower?" After thousands of "leaders" had been interviewed, one prospective student, who didn't care whether they got into this particular college, said "follower." The admissions counselor immediately congratulated the "follower" applicant they were accepted with a full scholarship. The shocked student asked "why?" and the admissions counselor said, "With thousands of leaders, it's important they have at least 1 follower."
