It's a super cool game. I'm actually quite surprised at how realistic, or at least believable the simulation is at times, the interactions between interest groups and how each tries to cling or climb to power is basically what historical materialism tells us.
It's still buggy and wonky as hell but unless they do a 180 on the core mechanics and make them more gamey it's gonna turn out amazing when they polish it up.
Idk it's already kinda gamey. You can just hit the reform government button and kick people out of power. I've been ignoring the loss to legitimacy with no problem, they don't actually seem to give a shit until you start passing laws they don't like
They could probably rebalance that but it is kinda realistic too. Laws are the thing that can significantly change one interest group's grasp over power, it makes sense they panic when you effectively try to oust them out of power with a different tax law or something.
You're right that illegitimate governments have too little penalties though.
