Yeah I meant in-game. I've been trying since 2017 to reach this status, because imo being an anarchy is basically min-maxing NS. Especially considering my Economy stat (which doesn't affect government type) is actually higher than any of the three stats which do affect government type.
The details of the above post are subject to leftist infighting.

I went to the gas station to put some diesel in my truck. I also went inside to buy a can of Monster. I thought to myself that it is like diesel for humans. I did not sleep well last night. Luckily, I just have two more jobs today and neither of them sound like they will be difficult or take long.
I hate conservatism. But, I REALLY FUCKING HATE LIBERALISM!!!!!!

My own political leanings were formed well before modern social media was a thing, so in my case it doesn't account for it.
