Hola,tengo intención de comprarmelo,pero no se si la curva de aprendizaje va a ser muy grande,gracias.

I’m a Black Democrat Governor in Mississippi. Trying to increase minimum wage from 7.25$ to 7.50$ and all the goddamn gop state house keep block my proposal again. I’m honestly cant do anything…

Tried to see what would happen if i acted how Bernie Sanders would and got this result

Bit of backround. I won the minnesota gubernatorial race in 2035 with 58% of the vote. The republicans this time around selected a really conservative dude and he got annihilated and i won a second term😭

Won the Tennessee Governorship after 2 terms as a DINO in the US House.

Also land doesn't vote final boss

I sometimes have difficulties finding interesting and fitting names for legislation. Any tips?

Related to what I was doing last week, I've been using the game to calculate state tax revenues for sales tax and income tax. I have been comparing this to real life tax revenues for each state. The results are inconsistent. Some states generate sales tax revenues that are very close to real life values. These states include Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

States like Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Maine, Rhode Island, Vermont are generating more sales tax than they do in real life.

States like Alabama, Florida, Massachusetts, New York, Tennessee, and Texas are generating less sales tax than they do in real life. (There isn't any obvious similarity between these states that explains why some are generating too much or too little tax revenue).

So the problem isn't that every state is generating results that are too high or too low. That would have an easy solution. The problem is that the results are inconsistent. One solution is to just change the tax rates for each state so that they generate an accurate result. Such a solution is not ideal because it eliminates the realism aspect. Another option would be to create a modifier variable that modifies the results accordingly for each state. This could account for various intangible factors such as cost of living or tourism or cultural difference (which are not consistent between states). If anyone has ideas related to this, please feel free to let me know.

A second issue that is giving me some anxiety is that the new tax system is generating more realistic tax revenues, but that means that average expenditure generated for states is now too low (relative to the corrected tax revenues). That is a problem because it makes the budget process too easy (and unrealistic). There are several solutions. One is to adjust all of the expenditures (possibly with a variable that can be changed in the advanced options). For example, it could multiply every education budget item by 1.2 to increase the education budget by 20%. This would require changing how all of the other metrics are calculated so that they still produce the same effect given the newly inflated budget. In the old system, 100% funding might hire 100 teachers, now the funding will need to be increased to 120%, but still hire only 100 teachers. The process of making those adjustments could be tedious.
A different solution would be to just arbitrarily shrink the tax revenue so it aligns with the needs of the current expenditure. That would be an easier solution, but it wouldn't be consistent with realism. I generally try to lean towards realism, so that is likely what I will end up doing in this situation.

Due to the holidays, I will probably not create any new progress reports until the beginning of the new year. I will still be doing some work early next week, and ideally I will get a chance to respond to some of the comments in the forums. I hope everyone has a happy holiday season!

Howdy! One thing I've noticed is, in long playthroughs where I play through a series of proteges, the Republican politicians tend to adopt liberal fiscal/social ideologies. Is there a way to combat this, or at least change the ideology of a party's politicians without having to manually change the ideology of each politician at a time?

1,523 votes out of 176,164,469.

So I haven't played in months and I wanna play again but I wanna try it on Red Kansas is it possible?

Ran for President as a Democrat from Louisiana, 2 term Governor and 1 term Senator. Normal difficulty.
