Fundamentalist Theocracy?

You know, the Psychotic Dictatorship UN category is a cool one, but would it be possible to add in another one, similar to Psychotic Dictatorship but with far more spending on Religion & Spirituality?

Considering how relatively common theocracies have been throughout human history (and still today), I think it would be appropriate if a nation could fall under the category of Fundamentalist Theocracy (or something like that. I'm not particular about the name). I know that UN categories are based mostly on Civil Rights, Economy, and Political Freedoms, but I don't know if areas of government spending also factor into which UN category you're in- I'm fairly sure they do, but I don't really know.

Besides, I have a nation that would fit this hypothetical category really well, and I think that that'd be pretty awesome.

Comments? Questions? Adulation and praise? Brutal denial of my dreams?

Well, it's nice to know your opinion:rolleyes:


...crazy though it may be. Why would anybody have a problem with something as wonderful as a state run by a fundamentalist religious establishment?:D

There are no plans to add additional nation categories to the game. With the ability for players to role play their nation, there is no need to create a theocracy category. If you want to be "The Theocracy of $name", you're more than welcome to do so. If it isn't one of the standard options, you can use it at 500 million citizens.

Well, okeydoke then. I already do have that nation's title set to "Theocratical Totalitarianism".

I think he meant UN catagories, not potential names.
