Laws and Social Development
Laws and Social Development
Something different from other mods in Hearts of Iron IV, TNO introduced Laws and Social Development to allow the player to track and follow how a nation grows socially, and how the minor influences of laws can affect a nation.
Laws
Laws come in various forms, the various laws that are at game start for most nations, to complex Ordinances passed in the Legislative Council in Guangdong.
Most commonly, the assorted laws of a nation show the most common framework.
National Policies
Although not part of the Laws of the nations, National Policies also influence various aspects of the Nation, varying from Political to Military to Economic. This is similar to Social Development, however, National Policies cannot be changed unless via changes due to the focus tree or by events. Additionally, National Policies effect's on the nation may be affected by it's effectiveness, unlike Social Development.
