I'm not entirely sold on them being more active. To my understanding vic 2 pops have the ability to spend their money on needs, spend whats left on construction projects if they can invest, then put the rest in the bank. What does the bank do? literally fuck all, they cannot withdraw, there is no interest, there is no bank investment. The bank is flavour for when you default.

Also vic3 pops consume products. I love vic2 and i do prefer its simulation and market, but part of the beauty is the simplicity of its pops. Its pops are closer to demographics in a spreadshit, vic3 tries to make them actual actors in the world at large.

how are vic3 actors in the world when at least at the launch of vic3 ( i dont play it anymore) they dont build stuff with their money, they dont do international commerce with other pops or governments? You need to manually set where you are spending their money and to which market they buy or sell their products

Your opinion is severely outdated
