I will try to release the update as soon as I can. In the meantime, here's screenshots:

Friends! Don't worry, the game is not abandoned! We are working on a major free update. But due to the fact that one of its developers was conscripted for one year the work on the update has been delayed. That's why we decided to split the update into two parts. The first part of the update is planned for the end of May and will tentatively consist of: 1. Through the Constitutional Commission, it will be possible to control the minimum threshold for the election of the president by the people. 2.

In the Encyclopaedia in the ministries section (penultimate on the right) added a section called "Foreign Policy", which describes what ministries are needed and how many points they give and how many points you need to open access foreign policy options in events. It also describes what is needed for button accessibility in the "Diplomacy" section 5. Introduced a scale with a life expectancy indicator. Population growth now depends on it. 6. New foreign policy events about Belarus, Moldova and Slovakia. 7.

After reading all of your ideas and suggestions, we were so filled with philosophical knowledge of our existence that, unknowingly, we shifted the layers of the fabric of our planar's time: - Presidential election reports are prettier (separate tab in the Statistics window) - Small businesses and cooperatives no longer seek to gobble up the entire economy by 1993, but will wait patiently, like docile dogs. - Electricity has been fixed (hopefully), the lights are no longer out. - Thanks to Ouija boards, your spiritual boundaries have been expanded: extra buttons (three) for the Foreign Ministry and (five) for the Prime Minister. - Now you don't have to constantly have time to replenish your Stea... purse. i.e. the ministerial budget, there is a button for auto-replenishment - Minus the bugs (right?). - The magic of the Spacebar button is back - now, when you press it, you not only pause it, but also un-pause it (if you set it yourself) - Now you don't need a Ouija board to figure out which ministry/which faction is whose, just look at the color of their name - Creating and promoting laws is not as easy as it sounds: now with less than four laws nominated, the price of nomination will be much more expensive - Too rapid growth of the economy leads to a huge gap between all areas of society, so the modifier "Diseases of Economic Growth" has been introduced - Some laws are revised, so that government agencies will finally begin to adequately fight corruption and crime in the regions, rather than eating donuts at the nearest beer hall - How often did factions fade away by 2004? Now the people won't always let them end up like that: the power of factions grows if things are bad in the country - The disgruntled bourgeoisie will no longer just finance the occasional couple of protests against the ruling Party, they will now use their main weapon: private and mixed (to a lesser extent) corporations will hide some of their revenues from the state so as not to pay taxes - Balance, like Evil Santa, has come to the Regions and balanced the bottom three (last) buttons - Now you no longer have to manually count the number of deputies - there is a chart in the corresponding window - Other parties now don't just leave organizations at the whim of their left heel, but consider the dependency and, if there is too much, try to lower it - Tired of the old headlines and newspaper clippings? Now there are more of them! - Integration economic treaties now reflect more favorably on your market!

What's done: - Less bugs, more bugs! - Now you don't need to pump your hands to click on the right-hand menu box on the map. All you have to do is press Esc. - Lack of electrical power will no longer plague you in your dreams. Certain integration schemes and sciences will help you build it up automatically. - Why did a voluntary contribution to the ministry budget give you corruption? We don't know (we know). But now there is no more of that! - It's easy to win people's minds with populism, of course, but not so easy now... - Now you no longer have to manually count the votes. They have already been counted for you! - You wake up, there's a rally. You go to work, there's a rally. On your way home from work, there's a rally. You go to sleep, there's a rally. But now we've broken the wheel of sansara. Hooray! - Some of the birds had an extra wing that had grown, either too soon or in spite of it. So we took it away. - They say the corruption is too much. Have you heard? And now we've taken action by changing a few buttons... - Now the saves will tactfully ask you if they should be overwrited. - Have the typos been corrected?
