I was rather hopeful when my constitutional reform barely pass the Court. I hadn't burned many bridges, trade deals and infrastructure promised an economic recovery, the intranational protests and violence calmed, and oversaw reforms for workers' rights, women's rights, and the education system. Sticking to the allies I could please with the resources I had combined with a general populist approach felt like the path to victory. My run ended with my country slipping back into recession, then a depression, Rumburg instantly pushing past my paltry military force and somewhat unfaithful allies, and imprisonment leading to the electric chair. I failed my country, my family, and my administration.

If you antagonize every dishonest bloodsucker, they'll conspire to crush you. Allyship is impossible without victimization. Most of all this is a narrative-driven game; success depends entirely on delicate subterfuge represented in the micro-choices in dialogue branches. Every choice has ramifications and it is not a kind world. Already thinking of a dictator run for revenge.
