Buen juego, me recuerda a Plague Inc pero es un tanto sencillo. Lo pasé en 2 intentos con "el final hardcore". Me agradó la idea, sobre todo porqu vivo en venezuela y reconozco mucho de esto. 3.5/5
Reviews for "Create the Police State"
From a gameplay perspective it's nice, but from a logical perspective there are serious problems here:
1) "Wealth" must be wealth and quantity of oligarchy, because nationalization implies first of all the confiscation of the means of production (factories, private firms, companies, etc.) and firstly from foreighn owners, all of the above belongs to much less than 1% of the population of any country. So in reality this single point should already worsen relations with the countries whose businesses were nationalized.
Nationalization, like ALL the possibilities presented in the game, irl has a degree. If we mean complete nationalization (wich is a big deal), since there is a hammer and sickle in game on this option, then the entire country should change dramatically, as well as the options for action. For some reason there is no mention of social benefits such as healthcare and education in game, and in socialist countries they became free thanks to the income freed up through nationalization. (even in Cuba it's free)
2) Foreign investment from other countries is a huge topic, which in reality usually means that foreign investors pay money so that they can then receive income from what they have purchased in your country. This means that on the contrary, you and your oligarchs ("Wealth" ingame) receive a sharp influx of money, but in the long term, earnings fall (since part of it no longer belongs to you). That is, it should provide a budget and "wealth" but reduce income (or potentional income, because usually these are resource deposits that the country itself cannot yet extract without foreign investment).
3) In reality, propaganda, like censorship, exists in all countries, and is often aimed against your country, so if the goverment does not do it, then goverments of other countries will do it for them, pushing through the ideas they need, even up to coup d'etat, to replace your government with a puppet one and "invest" their "wealth" (oligarchy) in your country for free.
And in essence, everything that was in the “propaganda” tab is a value judgment, since “personality cult”, “rewriting history” and “total brainwashing” are literally just an assessment level of propaganda that exists in any country. (usually in history books the good guys win or/and we are on the right side of history)
Food for thought: In reality, even four years is usually not enough to build a nuclear power plant and many other things, so the potential president who starts this is making a gift to the descendant under whose leadership it will be built.

Thank you for your comment! It makes a lot of sense :)
If I decide to make a sequel one day, I'll keep this in mind!
Finaly a good tutorial
Dude, it took 4 hours to get an ending(By the way, I got the Hardcore ending)
