The World Capitalist Confederation wrote:I have a (rather niche, admittedly, but I think it caters to centrist social democracies, allowing them to be serviced, despite the amount of issues given to more extremist nations) issue:
-Moderate capitalist nations, as business obviously wouldn't exist in a socialist nation and they wouldn't be that dissatisfied within an ultra-capitalist, certainly not enough to a coup.
-Ones with a weak military (although I will most likely have two options, one for nations with strong diplomacy, involving them losing to the businessmen and setting up a government-in-exile against the "neo-fascist state", rallying their allies against them, and one for nations with a strong military, which involves the formation of a military commissariat and a civil war beginning, although this is most likely too complex for me to be able to do without the ability to make issue series)
-Socially liberal nations (although this, again, will most likely involve things being split into two, as a socially liberal state will have to fight off evangelicals cooperating with the businessmen against the "degeneracy" of @@ADJECTIVE@ society, whilst a socially conservative state will fight off right-libertarian forces protesting against the social conservatism and restrictiveness of the government)
Generally, the issue will effectively target social democracies, who, in my opinion, have probably not been catered to a lot to due to their centrism. I plan to call it "The Businessmen's War" or "The Neoliberals Come Marching Again!", generally a title which shows the economic radicalism of the businessmen, as this would be their main issue.
The options would go something like this:
Option 1: Accept businessmen's demands. Slash tax rates, welfare and healthcare significantly, along with increasing business subsidies.
Option 2 (strong diplomacy): Call upon a regional alliance/the World Assembly, to help fight off the businessmen and set up a temporary government-in-exile whilst placing significant sanctions and punishment on the new government. This, like its military counterpart, will cause significant economic damage.
Option 2 (strong military): Begin fighting them in the streets, mass arrests for sedition and treason, start an outright civil war with them. This will cause significant economic damage, but will allow the user to continue their social democratic policies without any changes at all except a slight increase to the military budget.
Option 3 (evangelists): Implement conservative social policies to placate the religious and begin turning them against the businessmen, crushing their conservative and religious rhetoric.
Option 3 (right-libertarians): Implement liberal social policies to placate urban elites who will convince the businesses to call off their attacks and destroy their right-wing militias' reason for existence.
Option 4: Turn full socialist and begin mass arrests, nationalisations and other anti-business regulations to curb the power of business and prevent them pulling off something like this in the future. About as aggressive as option 2, will most likely cause even more economic damage without any of the side effects like weaponisation or crime.
As a centrist myself, I find we tend to be ignored. Bring it on, but the second issue, my goodness, a centrist would choose none of these issues
