900 million can buy you almost entire legislature in any country easily. And I say almost assuming/hoping that a small percentage of politicians are not bribable.

Games have to put playability over realism even if they are trying to make a point. You can randomize the initial money for each player if you want the full experience.

Even if it was the lead coder, the 30 seconds needed to post a tweet aren’t going to make that much of a difference on fixing a major bug.

Look for example at the EU Sanctions, they impact around 270 individuals and organisations, but allow Iran to conduct legitimate business. The problem is that 80 million is relatively easy to pay in the middle of some of the legitimate business.

Your rulers start at 1? That sounds annoying.

TLDR: African leaders are making the exact same mistakes with China as their predecessors did with the European powers.

You know, there’s plenty of Syrian refugees that have skills France actually needs and also learned how to speak French and are not cozying up with criminals and dictators. I wonder why Macron doesn’t give them French nationality.

Not a native speaker, but if I wanted to boil it down to a word I would use “made a trailer”. I think you are right about the algoritm confusing a movie trailer with a physical trailer.
