addedDEMOCRATIC NORMS MATTER • Governing OUTSIDE the proper channels now has a price in democracies. Executive policy packages, emergency powers, and rigged votes accrue EXECUTIVE OVERREACH — and the consequences escalate the way they should: – Your counsel warns you promptly the first time you cross the line. – Keep it up and principled ministers start resigning (the high-integrity ones go first), coalition partners drift, and approval bleeds. – Push further and fellow democracies issue a joint condemnation — your standing with the free world erodes month after month. – Sustain it long enough and your government genuinely stops being a democracy: the regime itself drifts toward autocracy, with everything that follows. • Governing through parliament lets the damage heal. Dictators are exempt — they already do what they want, and pay through legitimacy instead.
changedFIXED: ORGANIZATION WITHDRAWAL • Withdrawing from universal bodies (UN, WTO, IMF, WHO…) now actually works — previously the button charged 12 PC, said "Left", and quietly re-added you. A universal walkout is seismic (bigger reputation hit, every member notices), the door stays open to rejoin, and the Withdraw button now asks for confirmation with the full price shown up front.
