I chose this option to increase the numbers.

Now I'll be dealing with the consequences of this "increase" for a long time. The taxes increased threefold or fourfold that time. It was unbelievable.

I didn't choose an underground capital because of role-playing. Also, I wanted pizza, retail, or at least something from the entertainment industry, but I only got tourism. :( Oh well. By the way, it's also a good option for Sesame, as pacifism increases.

My taxes increased by 3-6%.

The Empire of Arkondia - underground

My taxes increased by 3-6%.

Mine increased by 16%. I don't know why.

I'm around level 25.

Oh, now I can legitimately spam here.

:eek:

:smile01:

In general, I can already see that this expansion will be unusual. Everywhere you look, everything is underground. Is this all real, or can you later say, "Oh, I actually have a different capital, and I just chose this option to increase the numbers?"

I have a Fortress ABOVE ground. This option doesn't really fit, and it also increases something I don't understand, but everything else fits even less, and I don't want to be without a capital. That's how it is.

but everything else doesn't fit even more

I had something both underground and above ground, and overall, I decided that 95% of Catpaw is underground, while on the surface there's a pompous above-ground part of the Tower (yes, there's also an underground part) and a small, pompous fortress with a parade ground for tank demonstrations, various minor infrastructure, and other minor stuff, to beautifully receive ambassadors from other countries and celebrate the Leader's birthday, etc.
And also, Pinkpaw is starting to mutate into a second Dracoshka...
By the way, is it better to ban prostitution or make it state-controlled? Where will the economy grow more, authoritarianism increase, and human rights decline?

The economy, obviously, if made state-controlled, although that might not be the case. And the rest, probably, if prohibited.

Basically, she brought the prostitutes under state control. Definitely the second Draconia. Although... my Draconia is also a psychopathic dictatorship, haha.

Following new legislation in Qasardastan, the streets are ravaged by murder and violence to prove political points.

Following new legislation in Qasardastan, the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations.

The Black Era: today is declared a day of mourning in connection with the passing of Quasard the Great. It has been officially confirmed that on this night, the longtime ruler of Qasardastan—His Highness Quasard the Great—passed away in the Temple in the state capital. In his final year, he suffered serious health problems, which were only exacerbated by old age and the country's environmental issues. The ruler refused offers to spend a vacation in the fresh air abroad or to undergo examination and treatment in professional, reputable clinics, and for more than nine months did not leave his Stronghold. For the last few weeks, Quasard had been in a state of artificial coma, into which he was placed by order of his own advisor—Richard Lasenhedge—who hoped until the very end for a favorable outcome and His Majesty's recovery. It is not reliably known exactly what caused the dictator's death; the circumstances are still being clarified. Presumably, there may have been a medical error or a malfunction of the life-support system. Either way, the great, proud, and just man of iron will, possessing an incomparable character, who guided the country with a firm hand toward a bright future, is dead. Who will now take the helm of Qasardastan? Time will tell. Rest in peace, Quasard the Great. Mara Laitens 2 Explosions in Khramia: bodies of corporate heads still not recovered from the rubble. Today, around four o'clock in the morning Khramian time, a suicide bomber detonated an explosive device in a well-guarded building located on the shore of the northern bay in an elite district in the suburbs of the capital. It has been reliably established that at that moment, a closed meeting of the heads of the largest Qasardastan corporations—L&L, BoW, and Mitasacker respectively—was taking place in the premises. The monopoly owners have not yet been recovered from the rubble; rescue and search operations have been ongoing across the entire building area since this morning. It remains unknown how the explosive device was brought onto the territory of the guarded facility. Guards who survived the explosion know nothing. The identity of the terrorist is being established; presumably, it was one of the security service employees. The bomb he activated possessed truly terrible power. The massive structure was literally leveled to the ground in a matter of seconds. The epicenter and main force of the blast hit the left wing of the facility, where the meeting hall was located. Rescuers are slowly clearing the rubble; several mutilated bodies of guards have been recovered, but no information regarding the fate of the corporate heads has yet been received. There are no survivors of the tragedy. As a reminder, currently the three aforementioned corporations own about eighty percent of the local domestic market and approximately the same amount of territory in the Central region, where just over three-quarters of the country's residents live. The L&L board of directors refuses to comment on what happened; members of the Fury brotherhood are currently missing and wanted; meanwhile, the Stammer family expresses somewhat optimistic assumptions regarding the fate of the owner of Mitasacker inc. "Thomas has been in worse scrapes than this," comments younger brother Arthur Stammer, who only recently returned with his companion after participating in the Actean beauty pageant. "I am sure that rascal is not ready to go to the other world just yet." Despite this, today's trading began with a collapse of the national currency and shares of Qasardastan corporations of incredible magnitude for recent years. The exchange rate of the quasard according to the international vncr rating dropped to 0.67 in just a few hours, and this is far from the end. Sebastian Ahald 3 The Winning Shot: national football team player shot Richard Lasenhedge. Everything happened yesterday evening, at approximately 23.45 local time. The Qasardastan national team, which had been delayed by a week, was returning to the airport on the outskirts of Khramia from the FIFA World Cup held in Greatwater. Just as they had for the Olympic team before them, they were met upon exiting the building by a solemn delegation led by the acting head of state, Richard Lasenhedge. As a reminder, Richard Lasenhedge, approximately forty-two years old and former chief assistant to Quasard the Great, assumed this temporary post due to the severe illness of the ruler of Qasardastan himself. Furthermore, until now, he had also served as the state representative on the Actean Security Council. After congratulating the footballers on their spectacular games and decent performance at the championship, Richard announced the granting of personal estates in an elite district of Khramia to them. At that moment, the team's center forward Akbar Ahal unexpectedly pulled out a loaded "Beretta M9" pistol and fired several shots at the advisor. Recovering from shock, guards liquidated the footballer with a barrage of lethal fire. Quasard's assistant, who received about seven gunshot wounds, including to the abdomen, passed away thirty-five minutes later in the nearest hospital without regaining consciousness. Currently, the reasons for this at least strange act by the player remain unclear. The investigation established that before the World Cup, Akbar Ahal had been in Richard Lasenhedge's security service for about six years and went to the championship only at the personal request of his superior. The primary working theory is a supposition of temporary insanity in the footballer, caused by severe depression and mental disorder. Be that as it may, Qasardastan lost not only its own ruler but also his deputy overnight. As for the corporate heads, their fate remains unknown to this day. Amili Star 4 Other Events Unfortunately, these are far from all the troubles that have befallen Qasardastan today. Every few hours, reports arrive of the disappearance or death of one high-income resident of the state or another, armed clashes, worker strikes, and other incidents of this kind. The wealthy have locked themselves in their own homes and increased security. Unfortunately, so far this has not proven successful. Around six o'clock in the morning Khramian time, Charles Grastone, commander-in-chief of the republic's armed forces—or more accurately, the man responsible for developing new defense systems for the capital—was found dead in his own villa with a gunshot wound. Shortly after, it became known that Tony Souk, chairman of the board of "Impossible" bank and another representative of Qasardastan on one of the alternative security councils, had disappeared. A trade agreement for the state's entry into the FEU economic union had been approved and signed by him; however, these documents, as well as all similar ones regarding the country's participation in AFTA and the KOSAP military-political bloc, may no longer have real legal force. Almost simultaneously, reports were received of the death of John MacKeinery, who was responsible for managing the network of factories producing weapons in Khramia, in a plane crash. And this is only a small fraction of the country's most famous people. Representatives of the Fury brotherhood are being sought; eyewitnesses claim to have seen a column of armored vehicles moving along the northwestern road at high speed, but so far this information has not been confirmed. It also became known that unknown persons attacked the headquarters of the Loyalty and Liberty corporation, which, however, was unsuccessful. Shenli Zhang (14% shares in L&L) and Lin Weidong (11% shares in L&L) were seriously wounded during the ensuing shootout; several other members of the board of directors, gathered to discuss events occurring in the state, were killed by a direct hit from a rocket into one of the upper floors of the building. For the first time in many years, true chaos and confusion are reigning in Qasardastan. Refugees have literally flooded all northern ports, even seizing merchant ships to leave the country in haste. The streets are now more dangerous than usual; armed people, explosions, and gunfire are everywhere. Arson of residential houses in the slums has begun, and strange people in dark robes wander the streets, muttering something in an unknown language. They enter houses and brutally kill everyone they find inside. A real riot broke out at the largest automobile plant in the Nordarmand region: workers killed their own management, seized the building, and started a fire. Similar mutinies are cropping up from time to time in all regions of the Central area. What is worse, no one seems to care so far: absolutely everyone is in a state of panic and thinks only of their own safety. Experts are trying to tie all these events together, but so far they agree only on this: even if someone truly stands behind all this, it will likely never be possible to identify that person. No revolution is taking place, nor any attempts at an armed seizure of power, and giving a precise assessment of what is happening is simply impossible. Brian Courage 5

as I said:

Generally, the realization that I would somehow roleplay the possible overthrow of the dictatorship in Qasardastan originated with me even during the creation of the nation)) But, as it turned out, it is much more interesting in this regard to improvise as the game progresses, relying on various events occurring in the state and in the game theme.

State Secretary Lee Yeon-ji has arrived from the Federal Republic of Rex Ventorum for today's session of the Actaean Security Council; the consul was occupied with extremely important matters requiring his direct participation and therefore could not attend the summit.
Recently, there have been many discussions at the political level of Actaea regarding the "injustice" and "unreasonableness" of the first security council assembly in its original composition. Therefore, it was decided today to resolve this issue once and for all. Furthermore, the Principality of Idia has expressed its desire to join the council.
— The Federal Republic fully supports Idia in this matter and has no objections to this state's admission to the security council. As for Kittypink, we believe that the time has come when the leadership of this state can sit with us at one negotiating table. Our country's position regarding the Republic of Champignons and the Steelmen remains unchanged: we do not believe that a don (or his representative) from one of the "families" can represent the interests of the entire country. The government of the Republic of Champignons still consists of... "incompetent" leadership, and therefore this state has no place in the security council. In fact, if such a situation continues, a very real issue for the next security council could be the "therapy" of this country through external influence. But until then, we must resolve a more important issue, primarily concerning all members of KOSAP. With the death of Quazard the Great, Qasardastan has fallen into anarchy: mass armed riots, brutal murders, destruction, and economic collapse. This event is terrible not only for the unfortunate inhabitants of the country, not only does it strike the international economy, but it also poses a great threat to the stability of the region in the future. The Federal Republic believes that there can be no delay and notifies the security council of its intention to use the country's military power to stabilize the situation in Qasardastan. Moreover, it calls upon its allies from KOSAP.

the time has come when the leadership of this state will be able to sit down with us at the negotiating table

And it's all because they have deployed missile defense systems everywhere.
