Character ideology

All characters have an individual ideology. When a character leads an interest group, this ideology adds to – and may override – that interest group's default stances on laws. The  ruler's ideology also provides support or opposition to law changes.

List of character ideologies[edit | edit source]

When characters are created, they can receive a weighted random valid ideology or a preset ideology. Each interest group has a list of valid character ideologies, which is further supplemented by political movements. This applies in addition to the specific requirements of each individual ideology. Characters defined with preset ideologies ignore the requirements and weights.

The chance for an ideology to be selected is equal to its weight divided by the total weight of all valid ideologies.
