1. Morning Newspapers & Growing Crises: Two newspapers land on your desk each morning. Big issues grow worse over 3 stages (Stage 0: Problem → Stage 1: Warning → Stage 2: Severe Emergency). Unsolved Stage 2 emergencies constantly lower approval and demand strong action!
2. Drafting Custom Laws: In the drafting chamber, type your own statutory legislation. Our legislative parser assesses your proposal instantly. You can formulate taxes, regulations, funding, or bans as you see fit.
3. Backroom Bribes & Trade-offs: When an approach hurts an interest group, they may offer a bribe to rewrite the bill. If the bribe comes from the rich, Congress is more likely to pass it. If a bribed bill fails, you suffer severe penalties (-20% sanity, -5% reputation); if it passes completely, you keep the cash!
4. "I MAKE THE LAW" Tyrant Mode:
- Corrupt D20: Once per day when Congress rejects your bill, roll the D20 tumbling dice to force it through.
- Seize & Silence: In bribe offers, execute the messenger to steal the cash with zero corruption penalties.
- Executive Purges: "Purge the Staff" to scramble Congress, or "Blame the Media" to reverse today's approval loss at the cost of sanity.
- No Limits on Darkness: Reputation and Sanity can plunge below 0 to unlock dark endings.
5. Supreme Court Bench Review: Nine justices vote on whether your law follows the Constitution. Watch the gavel strike down the official verdict!
6. Evening Review & Strategy: Read the Evening Chronicle's day summary, check poll results, and execute 1 political move from your desk.
7. Bedtime & The Local Bar: Pay your nightly rent, handle family emergencies, and optionally visit the local bar for a relaxing drink before sleeping.
