(My other game will get updated soon. Basically, this is a game about the political situation in a small made-up Eastern European country in the early 20th century. Most other countries are also made-up.)

Following the abdication of Grand Prince Dmitriy III, a democratic republic has been set up in Lupriniya. Then there was a war with the nearby Kingdom of Kosnen, resulting in territorial concessions. The political situation remains chaotic...

Players take control of a party with one of the following ideologies:
Authoritarian Socialism: This ideology covers all sorts of far-left authoritarian regimes. It is also known as Communism. There are no "pure" modern examples, but historical ones include the USSR and Mao-era China.

Libertarian Socialism: Also known as left-leaning Anarchism/Syndicalism, this ideology covers far-left regimes where the state has little to no involvement in the affairs of the people or just does not exist. No modern examples, but a historical one is Revolutionary Catalonia.

Social Democracy: This ideology covers left or center-left democratic regimes. There is usually a strong welfare state and other socialist concepts. Examples include Scandinavian countries. CAN BE INITIAL RULING PARTY.

Liberal Democracy: This ideology covers centrist democratic regimes. Personal, political, social and economic freedoms are usually quite high. Examples include many first-world countries, such as the USA. CAN BE INITIAL RULING PARTY.

Authoritarian Democracy: This is one of the broadest "ideologies". It encompasses all sorts of regimes that combine authoritarian and democratic elements, from flawed democracies to military juntas to just plain reactionary governments. Examples include modern Russia, maybe Turkey, and Kirghizia.
`
Anarchism: This encompasses all sorts of ideologies where the state is completely dismantled. It is a very broad concept, however. A historical example would be the Free Territory.

Conservative Democracy: This ideology covers right or center-right democratic regimes where traditional values are upheld and preserved. Examples include Poland and Japan, and many democracies have a conservative party. CAN BE INITIAL RULING PARTY.

Non-ideological dictatorship: This "ideology" covers all sorts of undemocratic, authoritarian regimes, usually but not always right-leaning. Absolute monarchies also usually fall into this category. Examples include Belarus, Kazakhstan, and China.

Ultranationalism: This ideology covers all sorts of right-wing, extremely aggressive, usually-authoritarian regimes. This is a predecessor to certain ideologies like fascism. Examples include Islamic State and the National Bolshevik Party in Russia.

Arguable Rojava in northern Syria and MAREZ in Chiapas are both contemporary examples.

Will start later today, might revise rules (for example, starting as a ruler might be removed).

I'm still waiting for someone to +1 a suggestion. This is an SG after all.

I am fairly certain there is only going to be one and we all contribute to that one party typical suggestion game stuff. Though a game about running parties against each other would also be cool
