Hundreds of ministers to be added.

[rhodesiansneverdie]

The old East vs West "We are the world" forum has hundreds of ministers that users suggested go into the game, the only problem is SOME OF THEM ARE FICTIONAL so if you do use them be sure not to get any of them, you can spot them a mile away because they usually go like this.

Bio: Shore was actually groomed by Foot to be leader of the Party in 1980, but he wasn't popular enough so Foot decided to run himself in order to beat Healey. Shore ran against Kinnock in 1976, and is noted for his passionate Euroscepticism.

I wouldn't usually recommend cosmetic stuff like this as it's pretty pointless, but a lot of it looks like a simple copy paste job so I thought i'd mention it, give der rote baron something to do

I already said that there needs to be an overhaul of politics. Many ministers are missing, many countries have only access to 2 or 3 ideologies and many political parties are not real but fictional or are not the best choice for the time frame or ideology. Also some countries are really fucked up, Angola for example has the MPLA listed as left-wing radical (which is accurate), but all historical MPLA politicans are listed as social democrats ingame and the UNITA is listed as fascist (!), they should be paternal autocrat or at least social conservative, but fascist, really? Currently I am adding missing portraits, but after that or even parallel to that I want to redone certain regions to start with. Like you said the We are the World series had already a number of ministers which can be included, but there are still more and parties were never discussed. So maybe it could be an possibility to do that here. But all in all we should first focus on the more serious problems. Maybe we can do something similar to We are the World and discuss features and politics of several countries for some weeks and after that we do the next ones. Personally I will soon start a Thread about the Near and Middle East with suggestions for events and features for that region.

Sure, it's not top priority by any means but it looks like it's just a copy and paste job so there's no point in not doing it, it'll just be a nice bit of flavour.

^Agree. When we're closer to a finished product we'll probably start letting our creative side free.

Thankfully, the background architecture is there to support this.
