one of the most important features of the European Union if not THE most important feature is that it's a customs union. This has been the case since 1957. Yet, in this game, this isn't the case.
Here's a suggestion for Mary: change the semantics of countries and regions. Create "European Union" at what is now the country level. Put the member states at what is now the region level. Abolish the regions within these countries. It's not really useful to have France and Germany split up, is it? It's not really quintessential to our game experience.
In practice, Mitsofos will be promoted from governor of the south of france to Président de la République and Luis becomes Reichskansler instead of just the governor of east germany. But their powers remain the same as they are now, just over a larger region with more cities.
The heads of state in Estonia, Greece and Poland might not be too happy about all of this, but if we give the head of the EU position to Luis, he might be ok, so we just need some compensation for Priority Aerphost... (the clean thing to do, would be to hold elections, notice that luis won them, and then offer compensation to Priority Aerphost, of course)
EDIT: looks like you could do it on Lien too. GMoney would become the head of the entire EU, rather than just Estonia. |
