Genocide and other Atrocities

[sir_schwick]

But genocide is still an active ongoing thing. Human rights are not a fact for all people today. It's not like human nature has changed all that much in the past generation or two.

You do bring up a good point. I am not sure how accurate this is, but maybe your societies level of tolerance should be based on a combination of wealth and business evolution. When people have money they have more to spend on fun things and less to have others to complain about. Many times scapegoats were created because of economic recession, or in general bad conditions.

If I remember right, a lot of the ethnic clashes in Africa can be partially blamed on how the borders were drawn in the colonial period. If you look at a map of Africa it is mostly right angle and does not take into account ethnic and poltical border that existed before the Europeans came. A good colonialism model would be very interesting.

Just so everyone knows, the fact that Sudan is the third major genocide since the Holocaust makes me sick. Worse yet, nations are very slow to take any action at all.

Like I said, I'd be content if Civ even just introduced a simplified system. Sometimes revolutions fail, but it doesn't mean that your efforts to change governments should be blocked. A constant general rule, even with a few probabilities is good enough for me. If they wanted to go the extra mile and have it be heavily contingent on a lot of other factors, that would be great -- but there's a lot of other things I'd like to be contingent, too.
