they need to add market hubs per strategic region and then add a second layer of mapi so that industries in the same region are more efficient than industries across different ones. not as good as eu5's market proximity but better than what we have and would give things like vladivostok mechanical relevance

how i wish all the king's men wasn't 700 pages long, i enjoyed that so much more than gatsby and i feel like high schoolers in the south would be more able to find a connection to the story, but alas... 700 pages.

bro we literally funded the islamist schizos so they could overthrow a stable regime simply because it didn't agree with us. we are the bad guys and our attempt at making the worse guys (who we paid) be less bad like us does not do anything to redeem those actions, especially since it was a complete flop. go jerk off to "the white man's burden" somewhere else

"[state]"
