add state corporatism law
This mod is designed to separate the existing Cooperative Ownership law, which was heavily biased toward Communism and Anarchism, by introducing a brand-new alternative economic law.
It adds the "State Corporatism" law, which can only be enacted under a Corporatist State or a Social Monarchy through specific ideologies and political movements.
💡 Why I Made This Mod
In Victoria 3, the vanilla Cooperative Ownership law heavily resembles Yugoslavian-style market communism, where workers own all buildings, manage production, and handle investments. However, with the addition of the Corporatist State—a distinctly Fascist governance model—and the fact that enacting it unlocks Cooperative Ownership, the conceptual lore became deeply contradictory.
Historically, Fascist regimes or military dictatorships (such as the Park Chung-hee administration in South Korea) maintained private property, stock trading, corporate operations, and foreign investments, while reserving the right for state intervention, nationalization, or privatization at any moment. In contrast, the in-game Cooperative Ownership forced the liquidation of all private foreign investments and restricted investment strictly to the domestic market, making it too communistic.
Although recent official updates removed forced privatization and allowed limited foreign investment for corporate HQs, the law still remains overwhelmingly communist in nature. Therefore, I created the "State Corporatism" mod to simulate a state-led, collaborative labor-management system. It grants substantial economic power to the workers without eliminating the capitalist class, achieving a true historical balance.
📈 Key Effects
The baseline framework is identical to Interventionism, but it seamlessly fuses some of the core modifiers from Cooperative Ownership.
50% Worker Ownership:
Distributes half of all domestic ownership shares to the workers, excluding Manor Houses.
Dividend Distribution among Shopkeepers & Bureaucrats:
Financial Districts and Corporate HQs now employ Shopkeepers, Bureaucrats, and Capitalists more evenly, sharing dividends equally among them.
+25% Investment Pool Contribution Efficiency for Bureaucrats and Shopkeepers.
100% Government Dividend Reinvestment:
To accelerate economic growth, the government channels 100% of its excess revenue from state-owned buildings directly back into the Investment Pool.
50% Building Autonomous Investment Probability:
Workers do not just inherit existing buildings; they can now construct and own new facilities, showing the evolution of the corporatist guild system.
Financial Districts Can Foreign Invest:
Unlike vanilla Cooperative Ownership, which automatically sells off all privately owned foreign assets, this law removes foreign collectivization, allowing your Financial Districts to continue investing abroad.
⚖️ How to Enact
Government Prerequisite: Can ONLY be enacted under a Corporatist State or a Social Monarchy.
Ideological Support: Supported only by a select few ideologies(e.g., The Mercantilism ideology of the Petite Bourgeoisie) and political movements, such as Protectionists, Modernizers, and specific historical reformists (e.g., meiji daijoi). Most other standard ideologies or movements will strongly oppose this law. (Note: The vanilla ‘Corporatist’ ideology completely lacks economic law preferences, which is why it was excluded from the support list).
[ Why the ‘Modernizer’ Ideology Supports This Law ]
The reason the Modernizer ideology aligns with the State Corporatism law is that, historically, powerful state-interventionist policies have been the most effective model for accelerating a nation’s development. At its core, State Corporatism achieves rapid modernization by placing labor under state regulation, strengthening the technocratic bureaucracy, and actively fostering and driving newly established industries (startups) forward.
🌟 Summary
This law distributes surplus profits and ownership to workers like Cooperative Ownership, but cuts it down to 50% to achieve total harmony between capital and labor. This perfectly aligns with the real-world historical concept of State Corporatism.
