      I own it but have only played a tiny bit of Vic3. Didn’t they end up having to nerf communism because it ended up being the most effective policy by far?

        Communism comes in two flavours - cooperative ownership and planned economy. First is the best policy by far if you want to improve standard of living and second is IMO tied with laissez-faire as the best policy for rapid industrialization, especially in small states.

      I know next to nothing about the Vic series, but isn’t it sort of an imperialism simulator?

        It’s more of a historical materialism simulator with socialism being kind of an endpoint of development. Also, it is really good at making people hate landowners and to a lesser extent capitalists.
