Reviews for "Create the Police State"
Amazing game!
I always wished to create something like this, an awareness of dictatorships and critical thinking towards politics raising game. Even on a simple and small scale visible to others. And to actually see it done on my personal favourite website of Newgrounds... Warms my heart to see.
Kudos to the creator. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors, cannot wait to see what else you have in store! Especially if you plan to develop something like it on a wider scale.

HOW TO GET THE HARDCORE ENDING:
DISCLAIMER: THIS WILL TOTALLY SPOIL YOUR FUN OF DOING IT YOURSELF. FOR USE IN CASE OF FRUSTRATION ONLY.
First rule of dictatorship: don't make people angry or ruin the economy too soon. Do it later so you can blame your successor.
No, your first goal is to make that nation your milking cow! How, you ask? The old fashioned way, seize those means of production comrade!
1) Get the first propaganda
2) Nationalize the Resource industry (Laws tab)
3) Get that sickle and hammer up the the national flag! (Economy tab)
Now you're quite rich. Drinking your imported whisky, sneaking out to Disneyland... Wealth will decrease, but so will education, so people will totally fall for that "Wow... ANOTHER crop failure!" media gig.
Now, time to crank up that hypocrisy and invest everywhere
4) Invest in State 2 (Diplomacy tab)
5) Get your own Comrades-only Wall Street! (Economy tab)
6-8) Invest in State 1, 3 times in a row (Diplomacy tab)
Now you should take some time to repair that happiness damage from the whole "no more private stuff" deal. Best way to do it? Bread and Circus! (minus the bread, cuz you know, communism). Also, as soon as you have 40 budget, get that power plant being built. It's happiness boost will come in handy in the right timing.
9) Cultural exchange with state 1 (Diplomacy tab)
10) Build power plant (Economy tab)
11-4) Cultural exchange with state 1 (Diplomacy tab)
This part might change a bit depending on your random events, but get the power plant at most in month 11.
Now your happiness bar is full, and just in time, for now we'll start actually taking those Bourgeoisie rights out of our people. First, a few wars to justify it, after all everyone knows banning Facebook is totally ok if we're bombing muslims as well.
5) War with island states
6) War with State 2
Our first issues will be those that allow for more propaganda, since wealth is decreasing and we'll need that North Korea style indocrination to sell that as the capitalists' fault.
7) Ban on social networks (Law tab)
8) Freedom of speech law (Law tab)
9) No private mass media (Law tab)
10) Ban on the internet (Law tab)
Now that power plant happiness should kick in just in time to give you enough "cmon guys, it's a war" to pass the anti-gays law. After all, gays are totally a national security issue.
If you had to get the power plant later, wait until it's active!
11) Anti-gay law (Law tab)
Ok, that's enough playing Kim Il Sung. End those wars for much needed budget and happiness relief (but hey, the enemy is always watching, so we can't really let men hold hands in the streets)
12) End war on State 2
1) End war on Island states
That will stop people from totally realizing you're a douche. You know what else will? Rewriting the whole history to tell how you vanquished Capitalist Satan from the land riding a unicorn and brandishing a lotus flower that doubles as a gattling gun and a lightsaber!
2) Rewrite history (Propaganda tab)
3) Total brainwashing (Propaganda tab)
Now you've got all that DPRK's juicy Juche love. That will keep your popularity from going lower, and it's time to get people to worship you. First, you have to see to that wealth drop, because the Second Rule of Dictatorship is: NEVER go full Stalin. Malnutrition? Totally fine as long as it's the foreigners' fault. Mass starvation? Too fucking much. So you gotta put that stale bread back on the table before the food poisoning from eating dirt kicks in.
4-8) Invite foreign investors from Border State (Diplomacy tab)
Now your education is falling faster than your wealth and people are actually not having to do cannibalism with close relatives to survive, so you got that covered. All you need for the following months is to spread some happiness. The best way to do that is to lower taxes. Sure, it will unbalance your budget heavily, but you should have >150 budget now from all the communist milking, so there's time to soar morale, and then crush it again
9-4) Lower taxes (economy tab)
Now people love you again, and you're still ok with your National Reserves :)
Time to make your country great again and close those borders.
This time, no need for wars. You're gonna do the silent economy crash - communist style!
5) Exit visas (Laws tab)
6) Iron curtain aka Trump's Wet Dream (Laws tab)
Once more, people are angry, so sell them those tax cuts!
7-12) Tax cuts (economy tab)
People love you again, budget is still fine, time for your last plunge into full-blown Totalitarianism:
1) Gestapo Time! (Laws tab)
Now you're the Supreme Leader, Father of the Nation, Kim Jong-Owned. Everyone loves you. Communism wins, as it inevitably would. Classes are no more, labor defines value, everyone has what they need and live in plenty. Or something like that.
Depending on the random events, the number of months could change a bit. Don't worry, it all works out in the end.
