Suggestions for Sweden.
Hi all,
don`t know where to post this, so here it is:
-Saltsjöbadsavtalet(Saltsjöbaden agreement, 1938 AFAIR). A milestone in modern swedish history, this was an agreement between Social Democrats and private industry to solve conflicts by negotiation in a spirit of mutual understanding.
In practice this meant that for material concessions Social Democrats abandoned the idea of class struggle(in practice if not always rhetorics).
Led to a special mindset in the swedish society, Saltsjöbadsandan(Spirit of Saltsjöbaden) meaning that conflicts between capital and labour ought to be solved by reaching consensus whenever possible.
Game effects: dissent lowers by 5%, a couple of IC:s added, industrial efficiency up by 5%.
- Samlingsregeringen(The Coalition Government, early 1940 AFAIR).
At the initiative of Social Democrats a coalition government was set up of all Riksdag(Parliament) parties excpt the commies for the duration of the conflict.
Another example of trying to weather great cataclysms by consensus.
Game effects: dissent lowers 3%, industrial efficiency rises by 2%, manpower increase by 30. No elections for the duration.
Actually I`ve played to mid 1942 without elections and no Samlingsregeringen event so something maybe bugged here.
- womens auxiliary organisations, several were set up to free manpower reserves for the armed forces. Kvinnliga Bilkåren(Womens Car Corps), Blåstjärnan(Blue Star), female farm workers stand ins sent to farms where the menfolk were mobilized come to mind. There were more.
Game effects: On activating such an auxiliary organisation manpower reserves increase by 20.
