addedThis update adds cheats (possibility to circumvent the implementation effort points mechanism), a new law, gameplay tweaks, and improvements here and there. Details:
addedNew law: Plastic bag ban In order to reflect current developments, the game now has a new law to select: 'Plastic bag ban'. Also, when you start a new game with France, the plastic bag ban law will be active there to reflect France's bag ban starting in 2016.
changedCheats There are now cheat codes in the game. If you play though the USA scenario and finish it successfully, cheat codes in the game will be unlocked. The cheat code 'NOMORELIMITS' entered in the game will give you 100 implementation effort points. Note that if you already played through the USA scenario previously before this update, you need to do this again to unlock cheats, unfortunately.
changedDebt Explained There is now an explanation in the statistics tab on the "debt" entry, explaining how the current debt was generated. It shows the old debt, the defict and the interest which had to be payed on debt. This makes it probably a bit more clear for people not understanding that their debt sometimes would not be reduced although they had a negative deficit.
changedCrime rate adjustments Crime rate calculation has been adjusted a bit and factors such as tax burden, income, unemployment rate, police budget, prison budget, punishment rate, alcohol ban, torture, surveillance and similar influence it a bit differently now.
