I’ve decided to set the goal of becoming a Capitalizt government type. Traditionally I’ve been Civil Rights Lovefest but have been Left Leaning College state for a while. However I noticed it’s been difficult to add to my Economic freedom’s score without compromising my civil rights (and vise versa), especially when it counts the lgbt issues... thoughts?
Second, the only way you could be capitalist is by answering issues and choosing options that lean towards more economic freedom. If your goal is to chiefly be capitalist then I'd say sacrifice some of the political freedom or civil rights. If you want a compromise(high economic and political freedom, and a lot of civil rights), then I'd say prioritise economy first, but when economy doesn't involve then maybe boost some civil rights or political freedom.
Oii, Capitalizt here. ^^ Since this nation type is assigned to nations with high personal and economic, as well as mediocre political freedom (not too high, or you'll end up classified as 'Anarchy'), you indeed do need to boost your economic freedom - which, however, in my experience, is well possible without damaging Civil Rights in most cases. As a general rule, try to be as friendly to the market and, in particular, enterprises as possible - this will almost certainly increase your economic freedom (which, in my nation, is at a value of 74.9 as we speak). As for Civil Rights, it is a bit more complicated, for things like free speech and press will usually have an impact on both personal and political freedom. Try to adopt liberal policies on alcohol, drugs, immigration, freedom of movement, LGBT rights, things like that, which will increase your personal, but not necessarily political freedom. I can only speak from my own experience - it's a long way to get there and requires a lot of micro-management, but depending on where you started (logically, for everything you did at this point has an influence on in how far future decisions change stats), it's well within the realm of possibility. I hope, that this helps a bit. ^^ (And indeed, it should be in the Gameplay subforum ...)
