This is more of a discussion about a possible team, then the actual creation of it. Im curious as to if there is any interest at the moment.
The government would be whatever the government is for our civilization. Therefore at the start of the game we would be a dictatorship. I realize that this removes the team aspect, so I was thinking of making the team the voice of the nations citizens. I would suggest possibly having a certain percentage equaling the effects of a coup, in that they could force the ruler to do something. For instance, the coup amount is 60% and a poll is created and at least 60% of the citizens want to do something that the dictator doesnt. Because they achieved the minimum of 60%, then the dictator is forced to do as his citizens want.
This of course causes the ruler to pay attention to the voice of his/her people if he/she doesnt want to be overthrown. It also allows for power struggles, cloak-and-dagger deals, and other more shadowy aspects of the game. For instance, if Organized Religion is selected then a political group within the government would be created and now they either have to work with the ruler, or maneuver to force/persuade the ruler to do their bidding.
The concept sounds very intriguing to me, though Im not sure how well it would work for a MTDG.
What are your thoughts?
