I say this is getting moderately ridiculous...

humans love their dictators. we even elect them in supposed democracies. 😉 we call them majority governments but what it really means is rule by a few with no opposition! 😛
Until we vote the opposition into power with their majority.
It's say we go Swiss with me referendums but you can look to the US for an example of what can go wrong if you give the people too much power at the ballot box.
if you and i always run for government and people forever vote you in to spite me and then vote me in to spite you what do we have?
Not like anyone really cares though. ded game ded gonre ded "new world"
That's actually the most democracies i've seen in a while.
That was my thought too - surprised at how many
Hopefully we're one of those crazy effers again one day soon
Yeah, it's usually around 20 or so. Some well be back under an iron first soon.
I would argue that there is a democracy at work in the dictatorships, the MU leader must maintain order/decorum/morale/support or they will be voted out with fight clicks. Probably the most relevant "democracy" this game has seen.
I find it generally funny that North Korea isn't a dictatorship.
Indeed.
Such a shame....
How many of them are bona fide, ideological dicactorships tho? Lots of countries just installed a dictator to ensure some big MU or w/e doesn't come and MTO them, steal their loot and mess up their laws. So there are a few democracies operating underneath those crossed swords, or what passes for democracy in this game.
I have to assume admins didn't intend it to play out this way but rather, as is par for the course on Erep, the worst of all possible outcomes to a new "update" manifested itself, beginning with how it was conceived (which is a standard Erep F'up), coupled with a failure to then fix the GLARINGLY OBVIOUS flaw in the mechanics of the thing. The game is run by dickheads.
