Death Penalty (another item on the no-go list) is also in the game with multiple buildings (crime punishment) but I think the key here is that they are not added glorifying it.
I live in Germany and we're pretty sensitive about the whole nazi thing. Denying the holocaust is a crime, same for showing pictures of Hitler or nazi symbols (especially swastikas). But it's allowed to talk about and even show those things in a historical, non-glorifying context (e.g. documentary) and I feel like the same applies here for this mod. That's also why hitler can't be a leaderhead because that could be considered as glorifying (because you could play as him and lead him to victory).
And the Hitler-as-leaderhead issue really shows to me that it's not about "Hitler was a really bad guy so he shouldn't be in the mod" because other historical bad guys (or bad things) are the game like Ghengis Khan or clear references to the Crusades and that's not considered offensive or insensitive at all - for various reasons but that's how it is.
What's Germany's take on games in which you play as the Allies and are fighting against Hitler? There are so many games with that theme. Is it not allowed because it has Nazi stuff or allowed because the Nazi's are the villains in the game?
No suicide booths, then. Not sure why this is worse than the death penalty or human cloning, though.
I find this only funny since Bender met Fry at a suicide booth in Futurama (because he thought it was a telephone booth).
Hydro's stated we aren't going into fantasy, and I'm guessing he counts the paranormal as such.
We have an Astrology School and Astrology tech. The building gives a little culture and science. Even the misguided Astrologers did learn something about the cycles of the planets which helped lead to early astronomy (goes obsolete at astronomy tech).
Could make an interesting scenario, I suppose; culture and civs provide the ingredients, and we have Santa Anna as a Mexican leaderhead.
I was actually thinking of making a California as well as a Texas culture due to their unique histories. Texas was its own Country for a time and California almost became its own (separate from New Spain). I think there are even custom units made in the download section for them.
Also Prussia IS already a culture. it just has no unique unit yet.
