    That one has an upgrade called Socialism that deliberately does nothing. I think it also calls Liberalism something like a “free society.” And yes, you can just get Fascism if you want and it provides production boosts or something

    I think the dev on that game is from Russia, so I don’t know if that makes it more concerning.
