    I broke it once and got literally trillions of political points, I was so close to completing the space projects. Once you get asteriod mining the game doesn't know what to do lol. It really comes down to those CO2 extractors like holy shit you may have energy shortages but you'll basically fix the environment. Besides that All nuclear/Air Turbine and solar power baby. Some renewable fuels may have bad effects, but its all right, your other achievements will outweigh it. Focus really hard on some projects in the beginning, I suggest rushing solar power improvements and battery enhancements. Also having the one that creates a automated economy is a godsend. As well as Stakhanovite Shock workers law, it makes people cranky but production is a must. It gets evened out by the automated economy anyway.

    The research is really good in the animal liberationist (for the vegan shit), the accelerationist (some may complain but idc), and the Eco Feminists (they invite you to mushroom foraging they're my favorite). Utopianists are there but they make people happy when you have them on your side. Fuck the consumerists, literally just completely ignore them. THEY WILL RIDE THE BUS AND BECOME VEGAN. Also just do everything the Fanonists want and don't do anything they'd hate. Authoritarian is just libshit caricatures, and are almost impossible to get in game (also following the animal liberationists really pisses them off), but can be attained for free at the beginning if you start in tutorial mode (you will have to go through the full tutorial). They are useful if you want to do a coup and just literally throw out the happiness meter and disable parliament. This is only as a last resort because it disables the benefits from those factions and also just kinda mean. Environmentalists got your back every time besides the accelerationist

    The game's politics have several holes and doesn't really address the national question at all and just assumes everyone went no borders immediately. It criticizes any space exploration outside

    The Earth Liberation front is annoying, but benefits of accelerated tech far outshine their efforts. Ignore them. Making people happy is tricky because the annoying treat lovers throw a fit when any actual changes are made. You can ignore them if you keep development high, and save up those Happiness centric laws.

    If you wanna have fun you can steal the wealth of the first world and even out development. Although the game says this is bad somehow but I do not care lol.

    uh as you see I played this instead of working
