Two things came up again and again: money piles up with nothing worth spending it on, and a bill you propose mostly just happens to you. This update is about both.

Investments
Once you hold office, the brokerage on the map opens. Six sectors — property, finance, conglomerates, public contracts, education and technology — move every quarter with the times. The laws you pass move them too, so what you own becomes a conflict of interest: when a bill touches your holdings, the bill sheet says so, and a reporter may notice. Tips come over the phone, and they are not always right. Sell half or everything, watch a two-year chart, or put it all in a blind trust for a flat 1% a quarter that nothing you vote for can touch. The smallest stake is $5,000.

A collection
Eighty pieces of three kinds. There are things you buy at the auction house, with three lots a turn and prices that follow the economy. There are gifts people give you: some are gifts, some are payments, and your red file knows which. And there are keepsakes a life leaves you, like the sash from your first win. There are twenty-two sets. Keep the pieces in the display case at home, sell them or donate them. The album on the title screen carries over from one life to the next.

Bills walk the whole road
A bill you propose now goes through the real procedure, one gate a turn: referral, the committee staff report, the subcommittee, a public hearing for the harder bills, the committee vote, the judiciary review, the floor agenda, the floor vote and the signature — which can be a veto, sending it back for a two-thirds override. The new bill tracker shows where it stands, its chance at the current gate, and what you can do about it: lobby the chair, talk to the stakeholders, water it down with an amendment, whip the vote. Things happen to a bill while it waits. It gets through, or it dies somewhere along the way.

Home & ledger
The home window is rebuilt as a household ledger: your cash and political funds, what you own, every debt, last turn's money in and out by category, and what next turn will probably look like. Your standard of living is set here too.
When your debt reaches 70% of the ceiling, a warning now comes before anything is sold off at 80% of its value — with what you can do right there: open the ledger, sell investments or collection pieces at full price, or lower your standard of living.

Actions
Toledf's reports sent me through all 152 actions.
· Launching a video channel is one-time now. "Edit and upload a video" grows it after that.
· "Street rally speech", "Greet the morning commute", the radio slot and delivery work were reworked so none is simply worse than another.
· About a dozen actions that did not fit your office were fixed: the President no longer greets commuters at the station, sitting office holders cannot take paid consulting, ministers and the President cannot give paid lectures, and a book launch is once per book.
· Eight new actions for the office you hold. The President can walk a market street, call an ally, host the party leadership for lunch and take a press conference unscripted. Ministers can make spot inspections, answer to the legislature and hear out an industry. Legislators can hold a report-back meeting in their district.
· Each action's days, money and recognition now vary a little from turn to turn, and paid work pays about 70% more.

Also
· New music for elections, crises and street greetings. Nineteen backgrounds were redrawn sharper, and sixteen have new daytime versions.
· Fixed: an old autosave from an earlier build could reappear in an empty slot.

Thank you for playing, and for writing in.
