*That during the USCW the Confederates couldn't be bothered to defend Richmond... I mean it's only their capital...
It's too close...in WW1 and 2, the Belgians were prepared to abandon their capital and fight on from the west of their country.

*It is completely possible for a lone man living in the desert to be 81% Bureaucrat, and fight his own crimes with less than 100% efficiency. Also he can somehow reproduce by budding, but no one else is close enough to confirm this theory with observation.
This wins thread ROFLMAO
As for germans moving to Mexico: "Mein Gott Hans, nachos with kraut are so wundebar! Let´s live there forever!"
* That the ACW was utterly inevitable and there was zero attempts whatsoever by Presidents to stop it.
By 1836 this is entirely true. You've been landed on a crash course for war.
-That the United States Federal Constitution has a long standing tradition of being fully ignored dating back to 1836 so that as long as a measure had enough support in the Senate it became law, regardless of what each individual state had to say about it.
It is not automatically the case that the reforms violate the Constitution...
Abolition of slavery was my main point, also the Upper House, the Voting method, the Press issues. (Also, imho, all of the social reforms as the Constitution was never designed for industrialization).
Well, the method of election in the US can be changed from per state to population (which violates the constitution), political parties seem to be able to enact and repeal the 14th amendment (limited versus full citizenship) and you can levy an income tax (which wasn't constitutional until 1913).
Also, the Southern Democrat party (reactionary) apparently wanted to establishment of a one party presidental dictatorship or the creation of an absolute monarchy.
We could change it to PR by an amendment...just like we changed how the Senate was elected with the 17th amendment(we moved from it being selected by the state legistatures to directly by the people"
Yes, I think everyone agrees citizenship policy should be a reform
As for income tax, you're right there; I think it's also violated by collecting tariffs on exports, which I think happens in the game(does it)?
But the most amusing thing is when I had the US Senate led by the Socialist party.

The Federal Government can tax all imports and exports under the original document but it must be levied equally across all states (as in game). Though interstingly enough, the Confederate Consitution is written in such a way as to make NFing a certain industry illegal, in game terms. Probably because of what happened in the Union.
- That there is no population requirement to become a state in the U.S., so long as the colony is well managed.
Wait, wasn't there a compromise preventing the taxing of exports, since Southern states didn't want the federal government to tax cotton exports?
