so i could be wrong but hasn't there been a theme that the respective big two large scale economy-nation simulations by paradox, the eu series and victoria, basically each embrace the respective innovative philosophy of the era? eu and especially eu4 makes no secret that it is a combination of idealism driven and mercentile, trade flows only to europe world basically reflecting the leading views of that era. meanwhile, the last victoria seemed to embrace marxism as the primary model, right down to the terminology.
basically it's all thematic and supposed to immerse you into the leading thought of those eras.
kind of like how TNO in hoi4 is basically a keynesian simulator, being the leading economic thought of the immediate post-war.
obviously we know the truth which is why the victoria series is great and communism should absolutely be OP as fuck like reality.
