So, it's kind of two topics, but they're both within the field of political economy, barely;
How will robotics be represented? IRL, they're already playing a huge role, and there are those economists predicting ridiculously high rates of unemployment due to them. Given how powerful something like a von Neumann probe could be, as soon as mastered, how will Stellaris tackle the economics side of things, if at all? Will POPs be tied to production and things, to keep gameplay working ok, or would it be possible, even advantageous to create a robot economy? Personally, I think an actual robot economy being replicated in Stellaris would be really cool, and could even avoid a lot of the mess with social policy which is necessary in poorer eras of history.
And government; how absolute will our command be? Would it be possible, say, to have a legislature with different political parties in it and different voting systems, like Vicky 2? Might there be a judiciary that restricts us from doing constitutionally illegal things? And, the economy, will we be some kind of omnipresent hivemind, or will there be systems we can take aboard, i.e. capitalism, socialism, communism, and that we can affect through policies and things? It would be nice to have a government system as filled-in as Vicky II's, but I'm wondering if it's possible or planned.
