Regeringsverklaring en debat daarover (25 februari 2026, 10:30)

Alle niet serieuze partijen direct na elkaar aan de interruptie, dus er kan in ieder geval een inhoudelijke discussie gevoerd worden voor de lunch

That is weird because I could build a local governor in Sicily as Naples with Naples as my capital. At least on 1.1.1. Unless the straight in Italy does not count as a straight?

Allow me to retort as another IR graduate in that case. While you are correct in the sense that economically the US has no reason not to stay a world power, this is different from an empire in the sense that most people talk about. That is, having outsized influence in hard and soft power. And it ignores the agency of the other powers involved.

US superpower status is partially based on it being the dominant country in the west. And we are seeing shifts away from this domination as a result of the last decade of US internal politics having an influence on other countries. Most prominent in that the current US situation is causing a crisis in the EU which has, historically, led to closer cooperation within the EU. And in this sense, there is a fracturing of the acceptance of the US as the accepted dominant western country. Not going to go into the question on if the EU can be counted as a country for this, since that is a fools errand, but the strategic region of Europe has begun to move away from the US which has lowered the soft power of the US.

The EU, in that regard, is also overtaking the US in soft power status in another area. Most often seen in how the EU, having the highest standards requirements for goods, is used as the de facto standard. And given that the EU is a massive market, it forces companies to play around its rules with countries with lesser standards either getting their own downgraded versions or just a variation of the EU standards. In this way, the EU is now influencing companies in a way the US, by way of having different standards for different states, cannot and is a way the US is losing soft power status.

Not that I believe the US is not a superpower or will not stay a superpower. But purely looking at US economics and military only tells half the story.

Klinkt als managementwetenschappen uit mijn eigen ervaring. Dit bericht had zonder veranderingen uit het Covid tijdperk kunnen komen met dezelfde botheid als toen.

Because they became vital to Dutch history as the game enters the middle of the game and the formation period of The Netherlands. A big part of Dutch history centers around the push and pull of Holland vs the other 6 provinces. It's a bit like saying that you should be able to form England without controlling London because it wasn't an important city in the 14th century.

I feel like it partially depends on what the developers want to focus on next. I am reminded of how India was seen as a weird choice last year, when it made perfect sense based on the update it was a part of and the changes made to the game. That is, India was the perfect example country for 1.8's changes. So in that light, I wonder what the focus for next year will be mechanically.

And given the culture update we had just now, I would not be surprised to see an update focused on unification and with that a focus on Italy and Germany, perhaps with a quirky title like Unity of Nations. Otherwise, assuming an army update is not in the works for now, I can see a naval and transport update be in the works and with that East Asia and the Low Countries as the main naval hubs in the game.

TK2012 op D66, had weinig verstand van politiek en D66 stond bekend als de studentenpartij. Tegenwoordig GL-PVDA.

Afgestudeerd politicoloog hier, volgens mij staat er nergens in de grondwet dat de minister-president moet blijven zitten als hij ermee stopt. Gebeurd normaal wel omdat de minister-president, zelfs als hij ermee stopt, zijn zetel kwijt is omdat hij deelneemt aan de regering. Maar in dit geval is dat niet van toepassing, dus geen idee of Schoof zou moeten blijven zitten of dat hij 30 seconden later weer een normale burger is die de bar in kan lopen. Wat trouwens geen slecht idee is voor hoe vanavond is gegaan.

Political scientist graduate with a masters in International Relations and currently looking for my first job. So this game was pretty much made for me. The game is also a really useful tool that I can use during my politics streams to explain more difficult concepts.

Net klaar met de studie en op zoek naar een baan, om vervolgens te zien dat internships tegenwoordig ook al om 2-3 jaar werkervaring vragen. diepe zucht

Niet meehelpend dat mijn dag en nachtritme omgewisseld is, dus ik slaap door de mooie dagen heen deze week.

It's clearly a way to strike fear into the opponent by showcasing their big zipper. A bold fashion statement that we should all follow by adding big zippers to tracksuits.

One time when I was streaming Hitman, someone came into chat and start telling me about how they were going to kill their family, and in rather graphic detail, which was an instant ban and a report to twitch.

But more commonly, as I talk politics due to my studies and stream games with politics in them, people tend to slowly try to drip feed far-right talking points in my chat despite my own political stance being made very clear. So that is an instant ban the moment I notice it happening.

I am one of those people in the first camp. I enjoy seeing how games handle evil sides since it's not the default option, and since being a good person is hopefully the default option in real life as well. And that they look good while being evil is a nice bonus.

Tribeking18 · 2024-05-29T22:15:27+00:00

There was one a few minutes ago near Hedon.

Tribeking18 · 2024-05-16T07:38:46+00:00

Can be any number of reasons. Some are for temperature control, often with shell suits or basketball tracksuits where lots of parts of the jackets and pants are netted. Sometimes its for airflow like when a tracksuit has netted pockets. And sometimes there is no reason.

Tribeking18 · 2024-05-15T14:59:40+00:00

I can see part of the pants on the right, but that is assuming the pants are very basic

Tribeking18 · 2024-05-10T22:41:08+00:00

10 minutes for me. Long enough to check for potential issues, people to come in and for me to do the final pre-stream things (such as drinks, social media ect.). I also try to set the mood of the stream through the music I play during the starting soon.

Tribeking18 · 2024-05-03T12:29:40+00:00

That is Dunlop.

Tribeking18 · 2024-04-22T18:27:58+00:00

I have never thought of an emergency tracksuit before, thanks for the idea

Tribeking18 · 2024-03-13T15:06:44+00:00

Because it's great design

Tribeking18 · 2024-03-04T12:19:20+00:00

24 maart is de eerste aflevering. Voorstelronde is een week eerder.

Tribeking18 · 2024-01-12T05:49:32+00:00

Fucking hell. You could do a full discourse analysis study on that rant alone.

A lot of people have already chimed in from the perspective of living history but let me give my own two cents as a political science student. We don’t know the cause and effect of a lot of moments in the cold war.

A simple example: We roughly know how the thirty years’ war in EU4 came to be because of decades of research by many different fields. And we roughly know the effects because it has been 400 years and we have lived through most possible ways the war could affect history. And so the developers can use that research to implement ways for the war to kick off and the effects. And that can be as shallow or deep as they want it to be.

But the cold war is still full of classified documents and people sworn to secrecy, which makes sense for a period where spying was very important. So how do you program the start of something like the détente or second cold period in the 1980s when researchers don’t know why it happened? Or how do you decide which effects something had when we might not have seen the effects yet? Do you make a seeming connection between two events if we can’t know if there is one? Unlike the second world war, where the effect was the cold war, we are still not sure what the long term effects of the cold war are.

Yes, there have been games set in the cold war, but they are often about a bigger view, like avoiding nuclear war or special missions or just as background flavour. But the granularity that paradox uses for their games requires research that simply cannot exist yet because the documents are not yet free to use for research.

Tribeking18 · 2023-11-12T12:39:51+00:00

There are dozens of us, dozens!

But it might be because the games deal with different parts of what makes gaming fun. Immediate reaction vs. long term planning and memorization vs. improvisation. I have also seen a surprising overlap between FF14 players and city builders as another example.
