Clarification/correction on IMF policy at 16:06: the number of loans on the policy board is the number that triggers IMF intervention, so A and B trigger on the second loan, and C will trigger with just one loan.

A note on the IMF intervention: If the fiscal policy is 1C, the IMF intervenes even if you have 1 loan, and for 1A and 1C it is 2 loans - so it states not how many loans you can have, but how many to trigger IMF intervention

A really small thing, but you mentioned that the state can take extra taxes twice in a row. And the first time you mentioned it, you say that it's minus one to legitimacy with all three of the others.

Thanks for the video, I am desperate for more content for this game!

These videos are great in helping me learn the game. Would it be possible to illustrate how the automas work? If you could please show a couple of examples each of how the simple and advanced automas work, that would be fantastic.

A big doubt we have. When the state is doing a card that states PROVIDE whatever... where is this whatever coming from? Like, as example, food and then education. (depending on the answer there will be some other questions but I did not want to post all at the same time, thanks)
