Government type in-game indication?

[PlayerHOI]

I've noticed in all the lets play's that there is no indication of the government type the player's country or the AI country currently has.

At first I thought that maybe Paradox removed government types but then realized they probably need them at least to determine who will be shown as head of state for a country and maybe the ability to give bonuses/nerfs to government types...

Then I noticed there is an indication of government type on the main menu screen when you choose a country to play but oddly you don't get to see that anywhere once you are inside the game (or at least I haven't noticed it so far)

Any plans to add that in or is there a particular reason Paradox might be taking it out?

That's interesting so they definitely exist but can't be seen as far as we know.

Since the three main factions aren't unique any more, I suggest using the cool different fonts for country names as a government system indicator instead.

No elections in Japan? That's silly, they had general elections in 1936, 1937, and 1942

I mean there were election in Nazi Germany it just didn't matter who you voted for. I'm mostly hyped for the opportunity to have Non-Stalinist communist countries.

Nazi Germany had a few ''referendums'', but nothing like the multi-candidate/multi-faction (but hardly democratic by our standards) parliamentary elections Japan had at the time. I agree though that having different kinds of communist countries is exciting.

I'd originally been concerned that there would be no way to differentiate different strands of communism so that Trotskyist, Leninist, and Stalinist countries would all have absolutely no problems with each other but there are definitely enough differences between Lenin's Russia and Stalin's Russia to call them different government types.
