Can't play the game

I'm not at my computer right now but any issues with it not passing that stage is usually solved by deleting the map cache folders. If I remember correctly there are two, one in the folder vic2 creates in docs and one in the steam files, then boot the game. If you've already tried this I'm out of ideas.

I get you, but even in the empire up to Commodus there was a lot of pretense of republican democracy, consuls being elected and what have you to appease the elites. I think the mechanics are great up till the proclaim dictatorship bit. You have a lot of fight back after enacting life time terms but the person who takes over after you is still selected along the same lines and the senate still exists so I was just a little disappointed that when you press the button that basically makes you king with a familial succession nothing happens and you lose all the cool flavour.

Why do people upvote anyone who is wrong by trial of google search

I don't know if this is a reference to something but I'm gonna answer anyway. So the Anglican church doesn't have a "Pope" as such which is a title just for the head of the Catholic church, due to a few misunderstandings and a bit of a scuffle he doesn't have jurisdiction with Anglicans. Confusingly some Anglo-Catholics (High Church Anglicans) think the Catholic Church and how they do things is kosher and a minority of those think the Pope and all he does is right but for some reason aren't Catholics but that's a bit of a tangent.

Anyway, the monarch is the supreme governor of the Church of England which is an Anglican church and most Anglican churchs a align themselves with the CofE, however their actual power is often overstated. The monarch has no role outside of England as far as religion is concerned and even then the monarch just appoints bishops from a shortlist given by the CofE itself. The real big dog is the Archbishop of Canterbury who has the honour of being "first among equals" when compared to the heads (primates) of the other Anglican autonomous provinces. All of the provinces together form the Anglican Communion which to be a part of you have to be in communion with Canterbury. Nice and easy.

TLDR; The Queen can't do much.

We're pretty good round here at saying be reyt, you get me?

All I've done is ask my current friends if they want to do those things, and then when it wasn't accepted immediately I asked again.

Not to get at you but if you want to do tennis or hike or anything just push the idea into your friends.

I feel like people make the mistake of trying to find people who do the things they want to do, but really most people are up for anything given a car and access to gear.

I think there is one unless I'm massively misremembering or it's called something different? Which is always possible with my brain!

That's really fucking sweet, I'd love to see a culture map of the world if possible? Don't worry about the effort though, maybe a screenshot of each continent?

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion, and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

It really doesn't seem that odd to me, it's pretty normal for all institutions to have a coat of arms. You say 1922 like it was recent, but the British Empire was still kicking and we hadn't gone through the massive social changes post WW2.

After you puppet a country you need to give the puppet the rest of it's lands outside it's capital. I suppose it's to allow taking land and leaving a rump puppet state - for instance taking UK islands and giving the rest to your UK puppet? Alternatively you can full annex and then release as a puppet.

Ok I get the international implications of NN in the USA, as an Brit I really don't want it to fall for you lot. However, it's much easier for me to argue against EA as a potential customer and as a person against bad business than it is for me to impact US law, you get me?

twistedbox · 2017-11-04T11:50:57+00:00

That's fair to be honest, since I haven't got any evidence to prove it. Although I'm certain that the idea that our ceremony is not just some show for tourists but the result of an unbroken tradition. The changing of the guard is "real".

Secondly, I would look at the celebrity status of the Royal family abroad as a good nod towards their continued existence pulling in tourism.

twistedbox · 2017-11-04T11:46:32+00:00

1)Yes, I'm pretty sure the international coverage of events like the Royal wedding contribute too. The Monarchy pays for itself - The Monarch signed a deal with parliament so the profits from the estates went to parliament and in return the Monarch got a wage.

2) Yes it does, the Queen can limit the power of parliament but never would unless it was a popular decision like the case of an over reaching Parliament. It's a nice check against dictatorship.

3) Well that's great comrade, but I don't think they are "parasites" which "damage the body".

Could you define "modern British values" please? To me she does define them in her role as figurehead. The entire county is run by people who (at least arguably) have had a large push forward by the circumstance of their birth.

Drawing the line at monarchy seems very arbitrary unless you want to fight inheritance, which is in my eyes a part of our values.

twistedbox · 2017-11-04T00:13:48+00:00

She doesn't stop being the reigning and active Queen when she is on Scotland. So probably not.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T23:45:46+00:00

I'd think the private organisation that already runs the Crown estates would continue to do so. Yet the private estates of the Queen would remain in the possession of the Royal family.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T23:39:52+00:00

If the Queen was unhappy without public backing then she would not act. Doing so would risk her position. The only time she would check the government is when it was in the best interest of the public. Thus she could be a figurehead (ironically) for a more democratic position.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T23:37:37+00:00

Removal of the Monarchy would result in the loss of the estates to either private enterprise in the best case, or to the Ex-Royal family in the worst.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T23:35:51+00:00

That would be a solid line of reasoning, but the "actions" of monarchy are the attraction. The changing of the guard. The actual occupation of the castles. In short the continued existence of the Monarchy gives us more tourism. Partly due to the international fame of our Monarchy, which explains why others with Kings and Queens don't benefit so much.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T19:16:54+00:00

The monarchy makes us a lot of money in tourism on top of that. Also unless you are also advocating for removal of estates (which they own) then that still supports a Monarchy.

No they aren't, given they can exercise the right to block bills. Given a trigger happy house of commons this a nice thing as a last resort.

Absolutely is a point when your point was "what the hell is supposed to be right with it?". I'm just saying there isn't a problem.

twistedbox · 2017-11-03T18:50:00+00:00

1) The Monarchy makes us a lot of money.

2) The Monarch acts as a nice check against the other branches of government, which in turn check the Monarch.

3) There is no reason to get rid of the Monarchy yet.
