    Seeing how you ruined countless countries, reminds me of my best and favorite run in Democracy 3, which I played seriously, angered the liberals, created a police state oppressing liberals, and on the faithful moment, I misread that religious school boosts racism. In the matter of three rounds, I created an egalitarian society, and started country-wide race wars in my Canadian police state, with a surplus of 100 billion. Basically, I made Canada to be Quebec just without the French aspect of it.Dozens of assassination attempts by liberals but every single one was avoided because I maxed out everything I could, and expanded shit ton of jails, increasing jobs and people inside of it. It was left on cliffhanger because I was mad that I accidentally invented NCR ( New Canadian Racism ) because I wanted to create a theocratic police state
