((I love how we gave command of the Canal Zone to a mummy. I mean, ya, it probably won't see a whole lot of conflict, but...still.))
((The church going to attempt to seize control in a moderate socialist Chile? Woah, that'd be kinda a cool coup. Putting the religious figure at the head of your government….hope I haven't sparked too many lightbulbs with that idea ))
Character: Reverend Diego Zarenta

(( We are the Upper House. The Lower House are the NPC's. And as far as I know, besides waiting for the rising militancy to alter the ideology of the representatives in the Upper House, given that we have a very democratic society in Chile and already have the most social reform-demanding militancy inducing political reforms like all trade unions allowed, that besides waiting the most expedient way to change the composition of the lower house is in a coup.
See, this is what the Directory plotters didn't tell you about and maybe didn't know about, but even besides one's own initial demands for reform changes when one stages a coup, once the coup is finished and the new gov is in place, you are stuck with the lower house that is closest to your ideology. So, when Cesar didn't go more democratic with the Empire in the initial phase when he could have set whatever he wanted, it made it impossible to pass political reforms later the normal non-coup way as we had installed all these imperial croney NPC's during our revolution that were all hardline reactionary, blocking all reforms.
So, the directorate coup would have installed an anarcho-liberal lower house that would have prevented social reforms from getting through even if the regular house pre-coup had allowed them. ))
So when are we moving on?
((Don't think so, but my dreams of a politically diverse army has come true ))((Except for Rivera, are there any non-socialist/communist Cabinet members?))
