    I got emissions to -10Gt/year and it's still weird about it. The game is definitely biased towards accelerationism, and the weird "authoritarian" bit makes no sense (it's the largest party in the council and only wants you to do bad things).

    Also tons of bugs, the percentages go crazy when you get the stats to their max/min and percentage changes become near infinite and because some events are triggered by percent change you get some weird stuff happening.

      yeah, the authoritarian bit is weird in general - they'll run a :stalin: style state for you, but only if they like you. Otherwise they'll just sit around and complain that you're dismantling the world's miltaries + abolishing prisons (which afaik has no impact other than making everyone happier), but not actually do anything about it :stalin-bummed:
