Yet you have the audacity to claim that you don't like this proposal because it will "depose dictatorships?"

Arbitrary isn't the best trait of ruler, but if you judge everyone justly it would cause more turmoil. Why not use corruption to ensure safety of loyal and influential people and depose traitors(even if they didn't deserve). Corruption won't give you ability to thrive in economy, but if you can regulate it then be sure that corrution will benefit governments.

(emphasis mine)The Rules wrote:Total Political Freedoms represent something akin to pure democracies, where every single citizen has a direct vote in every single matter. Zero Political Freedoms means that the citizens (or subjects, or slaves) have no say in the operations of government whatsoever. Imposing regulation on campaign finances is a mild form of reducing Political Freedoms.

OOC: If that's the criterion you're going by, then this should be Free Trade, since bribes most immediately count as barriers to commerce.
