Pile Through Act
2023 note: I no longer regularly play Democracy 4 so this mod may no longer work.
Nonetheless it was fun to make and was amusing to me.
This mod adds the ‘Pile Through Act’ policy – a law that makes it legal for automobiles to simply drive through environmental protesters and get on with their day.
In-game Description:
In recent years there has been an increasing frequency of environmental protests from radical groups trying to pressure us into taking action to improve the environment, this is despite all of our efforts to appease this voter group. These groups have grown such conviction that they are now regularly trying to pressure us with disruptive protests that block vital roads. Some say that these groups are bringing attention to important issues, but for many ordinary people in our country they’re becoming increasingly frustrated with being late for work. ”Something has to be done about this” it is widely agreed within our government, but the big question is on how best we resolve this issue. One of the more radical solutions being put forward to improve traffic flow is the ”Pile Through Act” – a law that would make it legal for automobiles to simply drive through these protesters and get on with their day. This would certainly discourage protesters and show the world that our government places great value in maintaining trade & infrastructure, no matter what the cost may be, whilst also being popular amongst motorists and commuters who can finally vent their frustration. However, environmentalist groups are likely to feel that their concerns are being ignored, and this law would inevitably lead to more traffic related injuries amongst the most stubborn adherents.
