Policies

Each country has four types of policies: military, economic, trade, and public, each of which is responsible for a corresponding sphere in the country's life. Policies determine the ranges of possible levels of the fundamental laws by which a country lives, and also affect the associated values.

Gameplay Tips
Although each party has its own set of desired policies for each sphere of life, it is still able to choose from several available options. Sometimes you can achieve the desired effect by pushing the party to change policy and staying clear of the long and dreadful process of a change of power.
