Victoria 3 Dealing with Radicals
Radicals can be described as a group of people or protestors in the population who are against the current ruling government. Radicals can be tolerated to some extent in the nation but once they cross the line, the situation starts going out of hand. More Radical formation will cause more riots and turmoil in the nation which will eventually harm the structure and economy of your nation. There are a number of reasons that can cause turmoil such as bad living conditions, discrimination, racism, non-secularity, unemployment, demands not being met, etc. So, in order to deal with this negative power, you would require a positive power.
Radicals can be handled when they are not in majority. And the best way to keep them in a minimal sector of the population is to get more Loyalists. As the name suggests, Loyalists are those who are happy with the current government and are always in support of it. They are satisfied with the performance and services of the government. Not only satisfied, but Loyalists also praise the current government in public that helps in the publicity. Now, Loyalists can be created by either increasing the Standard of living of the population or by doing some random activity that inspires them to become Loyalists. Enacting specific laws and creating institutions can also reduce Radicals in your nation. Laws like “Guaranteed Liberties” can turn the game in your favor. So, this was everything about dealing with Radicals in the game. Get your nation’s population to praise you, and you will be the greatest of all.
