But on the other hand,what were sliders,really.
The means to model Romania's slow slide into dictatorship, for example. Apparently, HoI3 will present us with a binary choice of either being under Antonescu, or not. There is no middle ground. There is no tightening grip of the royal police. Nothing. You're either are a functioning democracy, or you are not, and there is nothing inbetween. That's just a very poor model.
