I like your thinking – just trying to learn about that world first. 😁
Obviously, whoever's in control there — their regime's heavily reliant on 20'th stratagem, a.k.a. "fishing in muddy waters".
Hence why newsfeeds make 0 sense(they're waging psywarfare on own citizens), there's anomie(laws are obscure, loose, and arbitrarily work or don't work – despite mass surveillance), people are deliberately impoverished and separated from economy through waves of galloping inflation and zeal of maximum automation – yet there's free bread dispensers to then put plebs on tight leash, and of course this food supply is startegically cut whenever there's any rioting 👍. Social structure is atomized to the limit, where families were succesfully broken down, first being replaced with AI GF bots, and then even that was taken away, being replaced by pr0n. All people live alone, not even knowing who's the next door neighbor, hating and being afraid of each other – so divide and rule at it's finest 👍.
Yeah, that's kinda the world – that simply begs for studying, to even know where you really are and what further options are available. 🤔
So, that's already spending big money on politics then! 😉
And like, organizing own intelligence agency – with which Shanice could be of tremendous help.
Btw, church could've been restored and financed, plebs lured in by giving away extra food, etc... And then used literally like in medieval times – gathering intelligence through confessions, steering the plebs by bullshiting them with religious sermons, etc. 🤔 And then starting local orders, a-la jesuits – to pry around, carry out operations, etc. 😂
Oh well.
The game's universe indeed has potential, but we should not forget that it's just a small indie project, and also a NSFW game 1'st – not even visual novel.
So, I wouldn't expect much, and definitely in short time.
Was just an interesting piece, to have fun with in our real world – which is getting closer and closer to dystopia as well.
