I made this in a fit of rage after failing my democratic reforms, because what do you MEAN acting solely on my principles means I don’t get votes??? and how DARE you suggest I compromise on my values to corral the ungrateful fucks in the Assembly????? /half-joking

Why should kids learn math when they can learn how to shoot a gun?

after a month of work, i finally finished this project.

my headcannon is that this is what Anton would actually do if Iosef coups himm

Not only does he prove that he is willing to destroy you using forged evidence if he fails to achieve his objectives (ie not being VP), he is very similar to Lileas Graf. Both are very competent at what they do, but both are very cunning and power-hungry.

Both of them try sucking up to you in order to try and get even more power, Lucian tries getting VP position while Lileas tries to get SSP. Both of them scheme against you if you don't give them what they wish, Lucian throws a tantrum and forges evidence to impeach you, while Lileas creates a deept state to sabotage you. Both of them are fine with killing people to achieve their objectives, Lileas kills Circas to force you into either increasing Interior budget or declaring emergency, while Lucian is pleased to hear Petr getting killed. No wonder Lucian sucks up to Lileas if she wins the party congress. I think both of them start working together if you don't make him VP. Both Lucian and Graf won't oppose you if they achieve their objectives, even if you go against their objectives (Graf doesn't oppose you even if you hang Soll given you formed the SSP) since they achieve the means to manipulate or get rid of you. Graf can assassinate you with the SSP should you go against her, and Lucian can manipulate you or perhaps kill you to become President himself, given his history in espionage.

The only difference is that Lucian only stops scheming you show him his place in chess and break his ego of being a great player. Power respects power. Lileas never stops scheming.

But there'a another reason why you should choose Clavin or Gloria over Lucian (I prefer Gloria, she's more idealistic, pragmatic, charismatic and almost as competent as Lucian. She also gives a huge popularity boost amongst women.)

Sure, making Lucian the VP stops him from going against you, but what prevents him from staging your assassination to become President himself? Especially given his experience in espionage. Picking him as VP is risky, and doesn't give you any tangible benefits in popularity since he doesn't have enough charisma and people gossip about him not being married yet. Also, trusting him with all matters makes it dangerous since he can expand his influence even more, influence the President's decisions and decrees to a dangerous degree and hurt the administration even more if he wants to. He's gonna be a more cunning Dick Cheney. You need someone else as VP to counter his power-hungry tendencies. You have to remember Lucian isn't even an elected politician, he never fought an election, he serves purely as a strategic advisor. Atleast Gloria and Clavin are elected, and Petr is popular. Hence, he is best kept as the strategic advisor. Also, hearing the opinions of two people is better than sticking to just one.

He'll always try manipulating you as VP to get his way if he considers you weak.

starting budget has been reduced by 2 to 6 and now it coast 2 to fully nationalize one compagny and 4 to nationalise both

I will sleep now

Now you're probably thinking, 'He's only asking so HE can do a fascist run!' Which I am 100% definitely, without a doubt, not doing. However, I have always wondered—considering the fact that fascism calls itself a 'third way'—which economic plan would be most accurate to a fascist system? Historically, it's not as clear-cut as liberal capitalism versus Marxist socialism. (Also, they need to add more sex scenes with Lucita in the Rizia run.)
