addedECONOMY & FISCAL • Your debt finally adds up. The Sovereign Debt report and the Economy > Debt readout can no longer disagree — they reconcile to the same figure every month. • Standing commitments — foreign aid, embassies, bases, military upkeep — now show as an "Operating obligations" line in the debt breakdown, so you can see why a surplus can still grow your debt. • Debt buyback now tells you exactly where the cash came from (sovereign wealth fund vs. FX reserves).
addedGOVERNMENT & MILITARY • Coalition partners now have teeth. Junior partners hold you to their ideology — fund welfare for socialists, keep taxes and the deficit down for conservatives, protect press freedom for liberals. Neglect them and they walk, which can topple your majority and force an early election. • Defense budgets build real military strength. Sustained spending above your upkeep needs grows your fielded force over the years, not just readiness.
fixedSTABILITY & UNREST • Fixed a freeze. When unrest spiraled into a regime collapse, the game could lock up and refuse to advance turns — the "decide your government's fate" prompt had no decision window behind it. It now always opens the choice, for every country. • Martial law and emergency crackdowns now actually quell unrest instead of making it worse, while still carrying their real long-term costs to legitimacy, press freedom and your international standing. • Unrest reacts harder to heavy taxation.
addedTRADE & TERRITORY • Targeted tariffs work. The per-good screen lists every good a partner exports, so you can tariff individual goods — not just a blanket rate. • Buying territory now shows its price — the exact debt hit and your new debt total the moment you sign.
addedQUALITY OF LIFE • Every slider now has − / + buttons on each end for precise adjustments. • You'll get an alert when an international organization tables a resolution you can vote on.
