@asubparusername@IntraHikari so it looks like it still happens, but if you have enough authority from other sources the "political dysfunction" opposition IG malus is very small. worth keeping in mind if you liberalize and have less total auth, or if you ever need just a little more opposition IG approval!
@asubparusername@IntraHikari did they ever change the issue (never been sure if it's intended or not) where spending the extra authority you get from the police coordination mandate stealthily gives you the IG disapproval malus you'd normally get from a deficit? haven't used it in a while for that reason.
@asubparusername@IntraHikari but surely they don't both need trade rights. precious, precious authority. (or if you have a spare charter and are meatmaxxing you could give a ranches monopoly?)
i'm not saying he deserves to suffer, but once you get pardoned for a bunch of crimes for transparently political reasons you don't get to talk about politics and the rule of law anymore. UNLESS you get your cock out.
