One note on this: because of the economic system running in the game, it is very hard to industrialize in the beginning without raising at least some taxes above thirty-three percent, thus increasing your Consciousness. Taxes set at maximum produce a positive point sixty-seven Consciousness modifier, while taxes set at zero will produce a negative point thirty-three Consciousness modifier. Any higher will lead to an increase in Consciousness directly proportional to the amount over, but place taxes lower than thirty-three percent and POPs will receive a negative Consciousness modifier. POPs are content being taxed at thirty-three percent of their income. There are several ways to go about this:įirst, and foremost, taxes contribute immensely to Consciousness. Overall, though, low Consciousness POPs tent to reelect the sitting government.Īs mentioned above, Consciousness and Plurality are directly related, and the best way to keep Plurality from getting out of hand is to reduce Consciousness. This way, if your population is majority conservative, they are more likely to vote into power a conservative government than a liberal one, which can happen if Consciousness in very low. The higher your population’s Consciousness, the better their political votes reflect their desires. If your POPs are not self-conscious, they cannot do this. Consciousness is what allows segments of your population to see themselves as interest groups, band together, and try to gain a voice in government. The second of the Big Three, Consciousness can be defined as your population’s ability to judge what is best for it. Reducing the rate of Consciousness increase will help reduce the rate of Plurality increase. To do this, remember what is the main contributor to the growth of Plurality-Consciousness. So, if you have high Plurality, your health care and minimum wages (see section “Reforms”) will be more effective at mollifying your people.īesides this, all you can do is try to stem the growth of Plurality. Second, realize that plurality also increases your Militancy in monarchies, but that the higher Plurality is, the more effective the Militancy-affecting Social Reforms get. Certain technologies, such as Ideological Thought, lead to inventions which either increase or decrease plurality depending on your form of government, but aside from this, all you can do is try to stem the rate of Plurality growth or reduce its effects.įirst of all, keep in mind that if you switch to a democratic form of government, then your plurality can actually help make your citizens happier than they currently are. High plurality also attracts immigrants to your country.īut yes, Plurality on its own-and even cobbled with Consciousness when in an autocratic government-is bad, so what do you do about it? Unfortunately, there is little you can do to decrease plurality. For constitutional monarchies, plurality has no effect on militancy. Therefore, since acceptance of the government is a direct factor in the calculation of Militancy (see below), plurality in a democratic government decreases militancy, whereas plurality in an autocratic government increases it. So in high Consciousness democracies, the people will vote into power a government that actually represents them. First of all, as mentioned above, Plurality increases Consciousness, which for democratic governments is good because, as shown below, it makes your citizens vote more in line with their desires. Plurality, though, is not necessarily a bad thing. High Plurality causes the rate of Consciousness to increase and high Consciousness causes the rate of Plurality to increase, so letting either of the two get out of hand can cause a particularly nasty situation.
Plurality and the next of the Big Three, Consciousness, are directly related. This value-a percent visible in your country’s political screen-can be thought to stand for how Liberal your country is becoming. Think about it: even the name itself implies the meaning-the higher the level of personal input into a society, the higher the level of personal expectation from the government. The first of the Big Three, Plurality is essentially defined as your population’s demand of and desire for social reforms and democracy.
