If only my capitalists could realize that my country apparently doesn't have cotton and coal, but has fish, fruits and iron.
That's what survival of the fittest is for. Eventually all the non-profitable factories will die and your capitalists will look like they know what they're doing.
 
It makes some sense from realism perspective, monarchs which didn't have in mind nobility's interests tended to have a lot of accidents, but yes, I'd like to have full control over my state as absolutism. If I want free trade/Laissez-Faire/residency/jingoism combination, then let me have it.
Though what was the point of residency/moralism besides instigating rebels?


What did you find confusing?

If you are not a micro-management masochist, state capitalism is the borderline level of intervention.

Capis do a much better job with Pop Demand Mod, and even if they mess up you can delete their factories under L-F.

My usual strategy is to go intervention or state capitalism(if intervention isn't available) while I lay the foundation for a sound economy(get taxes, tariffs, funding and education all in the right spots) .Then, I switch over to L-F and watch my industry score skyrocket to the top 3.

The only thing I wish they would add under interventionism, is the ability to initiate construction of military factories. The fact that a government can't build steamer convoys(i.e. Warships) because it can't build factories itself is asinine.

Always played with it.

Well, yeah, military factories are the main reason I usually stick to State Capitalism. Being a warmonger makes me want to be independent in terms of military production.
Though if Encourage Industry actually worked I'd rather stick to more liberal models.

I was gonna agree and take it further, until I realized that in an LF system, capitalists should not need to compete with the state itself. Who else but the state is going to buy guns? It would suck to be a civilian-owned arms industrialist then. But the state should be able to ORDER weapons, and capitalists should suddenly be interested in filling and selling that order.

Currently in Vic 2, the state cannot even be a customer in LF.
 
I would like to see Vicky 3 on globe since all world map projections are twisted.
Globes are tedious to look at, especially with camera panning. A map is just easier.

I hope they can utilize the HoI political-terrain hybrid map mode though.

I'd much rather have a map. A globe is a mess to play with....

Is that something special? I mean, you can already see terrain in the political mapmode in Victoria II.
 
Different governments should have different pops. A Republic shouldn't have nobility. It's effects could be done by Bureacrats and Capitalists. Communist Dictatorship should only have one pop per strata.
Proletariat doing all the Work on Fields, Mines, factories.
Bureaucrats. Comminists need lots of Bureucrats. Also the role of Teacher and Clerks.
Party elite. Role of nobility and with negative effect of admin efficiency.

Well, I think that the pops do not disappear simply because you change a government type. They could become useless, but the nobility is still there if you change from Monarchy to a republic.

A republic would still have rich land owners, although they lack a noble title. So I'd say aristorcrats represents for example Southern landowners quite well.

If course they wouldn't disappear. They would become Capitalist, Bureaucrats and Officers.

Therefor I suggested the role take over Capitalists and Bureaucrats. Landowners are also some kind of Capitalists. Also the state might take holdings and land of the nobility when becoming a Republic. But many countries had a land reform long before a Revolution. At this point Nobilties influence in RGOs would be small already.

And while some of the richest nobles kept their status with their name and their money a lot lost them. My gtandgrandparents were minor nobles. Some generations and a revolution later my parents are farmers. Nothing left from the status.
