Political and Economic Law Overhaul

Political and Economic Law Overhaul (PELO) is a mod that aims to fill in some of the gaps in vanilla Vic3 while also rebalancing some laws to better fit the time period. It implements most of the changes from Mongo’s Improved Socialist Economics mod (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891699460), so please do check that out too!

Current additions include 5 new laws, 7 new government types, 2 new ideologies, rebalance of existing ideologies, 10 new events, 2 new journal entries, 1 new event chain, reworked production methods for Government Run & Worker Cooperatives, and 1 new easter egg.

Detailed Changelog:

New Government Types:

Fascist Social Republic – requires Parliamentary / Presidential Republic with a Fascist leader and the new Economic Council law.

Syndicalist Council Republic – requires a Council Republic with the Economic Council law, extra flavor for Russia

Syndicalist Council Dictatorship – requires a Council Republic with the Economic Council law while ruled by a Vanguardist, extra flavor for Russia.

Corporate Economic Zone – Requires passing the new Corporatocracy law and keeping Anarchy.

Corporate State – Requires Corporatocracy and changing to Oligarchy.

New Ideologies:

New Laws – Economic System:

Collectivized Economy – A truly socialist economy ran entirely through worker cooperatives. The go-to option for most Council Republics.

COMPATIBILITY:

-Any mod that changes the laws already modified in this mod will be softly incompatible, depending on which mod is loaded first.
-Any mod that adjusts ideologies will also be softly incompatible depending on which mod overwrites which. Worst-case scenario people will not have opinions on the newly added laws.

PERMISSIONS:

You may modify this mod however you wish, provided:
-Credit is linked back to the mod
-Your mod is also able to be modified
