[Suggestion] More player options

[Armus Republic]

Allow players to name their government type (ie a republic, Monarchy, etc) as well as their legislature type (ie Parliament, Senate, Congress) along with an Houses (Lower House, Upper House, etc) that may be present. I think it would be a nice addition to NS as it allows the player to customize their nation that much more

You can already do that, just write a Factbook about it where you specify those things. It's what the Factbooks are for.

Also you can do that in the title as well like mine I'd the Galactic Republic. "It's the thought that counts"

[Armus Republic]

That doesn't change anything for the issues though. I'm a Constitutional Republic yet my legislature is referred to as a "Parliament". I'd like to see something where you can go into the options and actually name it for ourselves, just like we can with the capital, religion, and leader

Because Parliament is a neutral term. Even if you are a Constitutional Monarchy then your legislature is a parliament. Any specific name you want to give to it yourself you can add in the Factbook.

Why not allow us to name it ourselves in the options instead of just in the factbooks? We can name our leader and capital but not our legislature?

Why not allow us to name it ourselves in the options

Because there's an endless stream of requests for that sort of thing (anthem, flower, leader's title, etc), and the admins decided that three (Leader, Capital, Faith) were enough. Factbooks were put in place for any other custom choices.

That doesn't change anything for the issues though.

That would require not only admin's work in creating a custom field and trigger to launch it, but would also require the Issue Editors to revise the entire issue library (currently in excess of 1260 issues). That's a lot of work so you can have a minor customization of your issue text. Use factbooks.

Exactly. The work required to change something as small as this is gargantuan. If it were something game changing/breaking, sure, it might have been worth the effort. But customisation like naming one's type of government or legislature can easily be done in Factbooks.

One thing I always wanted is the ability to import a raw txt file within a reasonable file size limit and in a given format, to give the game a list of acceptable first and last names to be used in issues.
