Conservative Democracies and Capitalism

11-10-2003, 02:24
If I were to start enforcing a strong form of capitalism in my nation (putting up tariffs, handing out subsidies, firing workers on the spot, allow refugees in for a subsistence wage, etc.), would that change my UN rating of Conservative Democracy (I like that title and I don't want it to change)? I'm hoping to get my economy up to at least Strong (or Very Strong) within the next few weeks.

a conservative democracy has Authoritarian CF's, a Centrist economy and Libertarian PF's so if you raised the libertarianism of your economy, you'd become a free market paradise (the rarest UN classification I do believe)

OK I see, thanks. Also, when does inertia start to set in on your UN ratings? I want to get all three categories relatively high before that happens.

you mean when one category starts to affect another? i'm not sure. I don't think it can happen but I could be wrong. some issues can affect 2 categories

I think he's wondering about the point where issues no longer matter due to your history of replying to them.

Yeah what Mac said. I'm trying to make good decisions now before they don't have any effect anymore.

I first became aware of serious inertia when my oldest nation got to around 300m. After that, issues just nudge your stats, instead of causing major changes. But it does begin to set in a bit earlier, however it is only at that point that you realise that some stuff is having no noticable effect.
