William one eye wrote:nothing like a little red tape to spice things up
try this for spice:
those citizens who supported the minority vote lose (0.5*votes)% influence
the total influence lost is re-distributed over those who supported the vote. (again according to votes owned: influence gained = total influence lost * (votes owned/total votes in the nation)
some examples:
a vote goes 70 yes / 30 against: those who voted against lose influence and the yes voters gain
a cote goes 40 yes/ 60 no: the no voters gain influence this time because they got the majority, the yes voters lose influence.
