# 260620 Update
– Major Overhaul of Law Modifiers

Full Vanilla Languages Supported

This mod introduces a new economic law to replace the vanilla [Cooperative Ownership] law, which has been overly biased towards communism and worker self-management, causing an immersion-breaking contradiction with the [Corporate State] authority.

With this mod, a new economic law, "State Corporatism", is added. It can only be enacted under the [Corporate State] or [Social Monarchy] power structures, and can be pushed through specific ideologies and political movements.

### 💡 Background

In vanilla Victoria 3, the [Cooperative Ownership] law functions more like ‘Yugoslav-style Market Socialism,’ where workers own all buildings and manage production/investment. However, even when players enact the fascism-flavored [Corporate State], the only unlocked economic law was this highly communistic [Cooperative Ownership]—a serious historical contradiction.

Historically, fascist regimes and military dictatorships explicitly permitted private property, stock trading, corporate operations, and foreign investments, while enforcing state intervention, nationalization, or privatization when necessary. In contrast, vanilla’s Cooperative Ownership forced the liquidation of foreign private assets and restricted investments domestically, showing a purely communist nature rather than true corporatism.

Despite several official updates limiting foreign investment and removing forced privatization, the system remains trapped in a communist framework. Therefore, this mod introduces "State Corporatism"—modeled after the historical Italian system—which establishes state-led labor councils to grant workers economic rights without infringing upon the capitalist sphere, creating a tight labor-capital collaboration.

### 📈 Key Law Modifiers

The basic mechanical framework is similar to [Interventionism] and [guild], but it intricately blends the core modifiers of [Cooperative Ownership] for historical balance.

* 50% Worker Building Ownership: Distributes half of all domestic financial district buildings to workers (excluding Manor Houses).

* Balanced Dividend Distribution (Capitalists, Bureaucrats, Shopkeepers): Financial districts and corporate headquarters now employ Shopkeepers and Bureaucrats alongside Capitalists. Dividends are split into a balanced 4:4:2 ratio. Additionally, workers in corporate buildings receive a 5% dividend share.

* +25% Investment Pool Contribution Efficiency: Increases investment efficiency for Shopkeepers, Engineers, and Machinists to simulate forced national investment.

* 100% Government Dividend Reinvestment: To accelerate hyper-growth, the government funnels 100% of all excess revenue from state-owned buildings directly back into the Investment Pool.

* +50% Building Autonomous Investment Probability: Workers don’t just inherit existing buildings; they can autonomously fund and own new ones, evolving the traditional guild system.

* Maintained Foreign Investment: Removed the forced collection mechanism from vanilla’s cooperative ownership. Financial districts can now maintain and continue foreign investments normally.

* -20% Wage Multiplier: Reflecting historical fascist regimes that suppressed worker wages under the pretext of state economic development, a -20% modifier has been added.

* Government Dividend from Corporate Buildings: Simulating historical corporatist regimes placing bureaucrats into labor councils and private firms for corruption and cronyism, the government now siphons an additional 20% dividend from corporate headquarters.

### ⚖️ Enactment Conditions

* Political System Restrictions: Can only be enacted under a [Corporate State] or [Social Monarchy].

* Supporting Ideologies: Supported by state-led reformist ideologies such as [Protectionist], [Modernizer], and [Meiji] (along with the Mercantilist ideology of Petty Bourgeoisie in certain nations). Most standard ideologies and left-wing/liberal political movements will vehemently oppose this law.
*(Note: The vanilla ‘Corporatist’ ideology is excluded as its economic preference code is entirely empty).*

#### [ Why do ‘Modernizers’ support this law? ]
Modernizers endorse State Corporatism because, historically, late-comer nations adopted this heavy state-interventionist model for rapid modernization. Controlling labor to suppress disputes, strengthening the bureaucracy to maximize efficiency, and encouraging autonomous investment in new industries to overhaul the entire nation—this is the core identity of State Corporatism.

### 🌟 Summary
[State Corporatism] is a law that distributes excess profits and ownership to workers like cooperative ownership, but balances the ratio at 50% to achieve a "harmony and coexistence" between capitalists and labor. It serves as an idealized, utopian law that perfectly aligns with the ideological essence of actual State Corporatism in history.

However, although not a single country saw this ideal become reality, the specter of the gas station is stirring once again in various countries today.
