The Basics - Government Positions and Global Goals

Government Positions

For those who want to know what Statecraft is without reading the manual, I will run through the important points quickly.

People are divided by groups into certain countries, and must first get all the administrative stuff out of the way like the name of their country, its capitol city, and its other cities. They also have to choose their roles in government. The expectations of each official is listed here:

-Chief Decision-Maker: Has the final say on any actions, but can be replaced if a majority of officials vote him out.

-Secretary of State: In charge of relations with other countries, as well as building coalitions.

-U.N. Representative: Show up for U.N. meetings and work with Secretary of State.

-Secretary of Defense: In charge of running the military and defending the country’s three cities.

-Director of National Intelligence: Collect, analyze, and present intelligence and conduct covert ops.

-Director of Science and Industry: Maximize resource production and recommend technologies to research.

-Trade Representative: Ensure resource balance and acquire technologies through trading.

-Chief Political Strategist: Keep an eye on the domestic factions and their demands along with the approval rating. Keep track of political capital and make recommendations on how to make more and spend it.

-Domestic Affairs Advisor: Maximize Quality of Life score (QOL).

Global Goals:

These are good things. Try to complete them.

Five points to everyone for each goal completed. If no one fires nukes, 10 points to everyone.

Ending World Hunger: 50,000 food contributed to UN World Food Program

Global Peace Award: No warfare between countries allowed.

Eliminating Global Terrorism: Destroy the Orion Liberation Front, Typhoon Pirates and Sword of the Amaru if they appear.
