Hi everybody I'm new(as the title says)and I was wondering how you create a socialistic government type?Just wondering.Thanks in advance.

I am not sure which government type you would like, there are many types of socialist governments:

Democratic Socialists: You need a medium level civil rights, Low economy, and medium political freedoms. Bring down your economy by voting to abolish industries and raising taxes. Then, just balance issue to issue on accepting Civil Rights (protection the rights of the people) and political freedoms (allowing the people to say and do what they want.)

Iron Fist Socialists: You need high Civil Rights, Low Economy, and Low Political Rights. Just accept options that protect the rights of the people, like the right to live, right to own possessions, etc.

Liberal Democratic Socialists: Medium Civil Rights, Low economy, and High Political Rights. Accept issues that raise Political Rights, and if possible, raise Civil Rights.

Anything with low economic freedom (i.e. high taxes, welfare, etc.) can be considered socialist. Simply raise taxes, and whether you have free and open elections or are ruled by a communist dictator; whether you have high or low civil rights, you'll have a socialist state.

If you want to start again, then this thread (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=297403) shows you how to start with a socialist country.

If not, then basically, in NS terms, then as others have suggested, you need to raise taxes, fuck your industry, and - more debatably - reduce civil/political liberties. Don't worry if your UN type isn't right, though - you can always RP socialism.
