livestream was great! Remember: The Supreme court is the final boss of any political party in power. That's what they do. Any party can reasonably expect a challenge to its bills and laws, some of those are bound to end up in the supreme court. Happens to everyone.

@@tmitfc2392 The symbol of Sollism has three arrows, pretty similar to Kemalism's six. Also the three in Sollism are identical to three of those Kemalism: Republicanism, Nationalism, Statism. Pretty sure Soll is a stand-in for Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. That is, if Ataturk became drunk on his own power. As far as I know, Ataturk's government never became oppressive as Soll's did in his later terms. The historical Ataturk was a great man, whereas in-game Soll has turned into an arrogant, bitter, vengeful old bastard.

[@EnlighthenedOne123]

It's actually mostly based on the Cold War Era Turkey. Artor S. Wisci is based in part on Ataturk, and Tarquin Soll is a strange mix of both Ataturk and Kenan Evren (mastermind of the coup of '80, and a very controversial figure in turkish history). Devs themselves have said it as much during an AMA session in reddit.

I really feel there should be an update for some people who win a 2nd term.....so as to make the game more fun and interactive Who's with me on this

[@DaeronDrakon]

Nice, I was expecting this! Do you plan on covering the other countries as well?

[@Tokological]

Very good writen of game. Make me feel the tense of being in a high preasure as a presiden. Is thre any suggestion game like this ?

[@marleytalbot7991]

Just finished, no war and got reelected baby !

[@Mangulwort]

I don't understand people saying its based on spain. The creators said its based on Balkan and Turkey politics.

[@cs0345]

With a hint of Caucasus

[@isaacwilcox3010]

It’s based on a lot of things and some of the games aspects do take heavily from spanish history. The civil war of 1928 that takes place in the lore of this game is very similar to the spanish civil war.

[@phill2065]

Bought the game, definitely recommend!

You guys should do the ordensstaat burgund from the TNO mod

[@dutchdoggo]

Sordland just sounds like any Balkan nation ever

[@solarium7887]

So these countries and this country located in Europe? Or alternate world,also great work like always

[@CChrispim]

It’s a fictional game world written by the devs of Suzerain; you play as the newly-elected President of Sordland.

[@isaacwilcox3010]

Do you know of a country called Sordland existing in Europe lol?

[@solarium7887]

@@isaacwilcox3010 no that don't what I talk about (you know like they place more countries in Europe) like what Marvel did or Dc comics (exemple: sokovia) more countries coexisting with real ones (come on)

I find it quite odd that there'd be an extended recession under a president who implemented policies that are the exact method for quickly recovering from a recession

[@CChrispim]

There was a political strife during the reformation of laws by the Sordish National Assembly in order to ease the transition, alongside a sudden world crisis.

[@ZontarDow]

@@CChrispim I see, that would explain it even if that's unfortunate timing. Where can I find more information about the setting?

[@henryp9671]

@@ZontarDow The game is actually on sale right now I’d highly recommend it

[@thevisitor135]

Historically, it have been radical and neoliberal free market policies that have triggered severe economic recessions and crises in human history, with the most prominent examples being the United States of America under Herbert Hoover and the Russian Federation under Boris Yeltsin. Only radical leftist and Keynesian economic policies have managed to resolve these particular crises.

[@ZontarDow]

@@thevisitor135 That's absolutely not the case, I have no idea where you would get the impression that Hoover caused the Great Depression or that Yeltsin's post Soviet policies would retroactively cause the collapse of the Soviet Union. On the contrary, free market policies have been the greatest remedy against recession, and it was radical leftist policies like the New Deal that turned the Great Depression from a recession into a 13 year long nightmare, while Keynesian economics, well I'm not going to sit here and pretend anyone actually implements it in practice since we've never seen anyone enter the "lower spending in good times" phase of the cycle.

Are you going to make another vids on this universe?

I honestly hope they make more videos about this universe
