The way the Political Game is Messed up

Political Parties have different Economic Orientations. I will dissect them for brevity and clue you in to what is wrong with the Wig's Game as it stands now.

Far-Right, Center-Right

I group these two ideologies together because as the game operates now they are both Mutually exclusive. Players do not have Organization Accounts now, so Corporative functions have been diminished since V1 (They were removed after Rising, V2). So Companies are only owned by citizens, even Government Organizations that exist today cannot hold companies. Far-Right Corporative function however can still be applied to the many player accounts that have amassed huge Company spreads across the world. While Military Units cannot create , own, or operate companies; it should be no ones guess that Right-wing Parties and their paramilitaries do utilize Corporate means. Yet beyond name our doohickey Holding Companies, there are no brand names anymore. Quality of products are frozen at Q7 (Promised by Wig's, one of their few held promises). There however never has been a stock market beyond V1/Beta contracts module that has been long ago abandoned.

Both Ideologies are workable under the current physics of the game even though it can be questioned heavily if by market sales, anyone is getting any true leg-up in the e-World.

Center

These guys are extremists.

Center-Left, Far-Left

They can't increase wages beyond 1000 Currency. So to substitute people calling themselves leftists in-game lower the wage to the lowest amount to make items to donate to paramilitaries. Many of the manufactured items made by companies cannot be donated. So it makes for a living hell. Again no Organization accounts to focus members into companies in their holdings.

Idk I had more but the Coffee is taking a hold of me.

It was my former home unit the Polandballs ran in... I had to move back to Kamakura. Hopefully this will be brief.

an interesting analysis...

so you are saying, that in the game :

the far right and center-right are corporatists, always moved by the capital, the market and trying to become stronger/more rich over their competitors, while they try to keep their MU's equally strong and influential,

that the center wing people are ''extremists'' (i disagree),

and that the center-left wing +far-left people are trying to keep the wages low, so that they can provide manufactured items for their MU's and for their followers, but since you cant donate manufactured items to other people, their projects fail miserably...

i would say that apart from the centrists part, your analysis is rather accurate.
and the wild fanaticism of the political parties in this game is often a consistent reflection of things from irl...
(albeit, in a more relaxed/less extreme way)

good article, keep it up

I am mainly pointing out that the game is flawed when it comes to practicing anything but right-wing ideology.
