Overview

Dawn of Man

.Greetings Bernie Sanders, United States Senator and 2016 hopeful. After being a Independent for many years you joined the Democratic Party in 2015. As well as announcing your candidacy as a Presidential Hopeful for the Democratic Party. Even without the money of Super PACs. Thanks to the internet, and the youth culture of this country you are now in competitive race with the most powerful political entity in recent history.

Introduction: Hello, and welcome to the United States of America.

Defeat: The American people demand their sovereignty. They demand their rights to live, and their right to prosper. You will truly see the will of the American People. With, or without me.

Events and Decisions

Rural Economy Reform

Abraham Lincoln called the United States Department of Agriculture the “People’s Department” and Senator Sanders will ensure that the agency lives up to this name by expanding its services for new and underserved farmers. Farmers throughout the country are boosting their bottom line and reinvigorating their communities by selling directly to local consumers, institutions, and restaurants. We must invest in this movement, and help American Farmers support local farms.

Requirements/Restrictions:

• Player must be America, and led by Bernie Sanders.
• Player must have researched Fertilizer.

Costs:

• Gold
• 2  Magistrate

Rewards: 

• +1  Culture, and   Gold from Farms.

The Financial Transaction Tax

Due to an age of high-frequency trading caused by modern technology, and wall street speculation has caused a risky financial environment. We propose a higher tax on wall street transactions which proceeds would be used to provide debt-free public college education. We must invest into our future, and make the American people ready to compete in the International Market of today.

Requirements/Restrictions:

• Player must be America, and led by Bernie Sanders.
• A Stock Exchange in every city.

Costs:

• Culture
• 1  Magistrate
