Update 3.6.1

YOUR OWN COUNTRY NO LONGER VETOES YOUR UN MEMBERSHIP MOTION

On the United Nations dossiers screen, your own motion for a state's UN membership is never vetoed by your own country: as the United States, the motion for Palestine is admitted with the recognition of 146 of the 193 members, and as Russia or China the motions for Kosovo and Taiwan are no longer vetoed by your own seat. A permanent member run by the game still vetoes a membership it opposes, as the United States does for Palestine, Russia for Kosovo and China for Taiwan, and the result now names it and the state it backs or claims; a veto curbed or abolished by reform, or a permanent member that has lost its seat, no longer blocks the motion. Without a veto the General Assembly decides: a state needs the recognition of two thirds of the 193 members, 129, so Western Sahara, Northern Cyprus and Somaliland are no longer admitted at once. The membership button and the dossier show this forecast before any political capital is spent, and the result matches it. A vetoed or rejected motion no longer shows a success tick. On the Security Council screen, every Condemn and Sanction button shows the expected result before you spend; a veto names each member that cast it and why (for example the target itself, or a state it shields) in the result line and the recent resolutions list, the news feed names the vetoers, and a vetoed resolution keeps its vetoers in your save. Proposing a binding UN measure from the Organizations screen adds the Council's expected result to the confirmation. The Security Council screen's introduction now states the rules: a condemnation goes to the General Assembly, where half the votes carry it and no veto applies, and sanctions need 9 of the 15 Council votes and no veto from a permanent member; after a veto reform it states the reformed rule. The new forecasts and results read in all thirteen languages. Resolutions raised by other countries resolve exactly as before: in a two-year test campaign played from an elected seat, the saved game differed only in the vetoers and their reasons, now kept on each vetoed resolution, and the vetoers' names in its news title and news item.

TERRITORY DEALS FOLLOW ONE RULE FOR EVERY SELLER

A great power, with at least 2.5% of world GDP or a military of 75 or more, sells no land; a state with a military of 55 or more sells at most 6% of its land in all; any other state 12% in all; and the same limits apply when you sell your own land. The rule reads each country's current economy, debt, growth and military, and the great-power line is a share of world GDP, so a growing world economy no longer turns a seller into one that refuses. When a country refuses, one line in your language names the condition that blocks the deal; when the seller is unwilling, it gives the willingness it sells at, where it stands, each term behind that figure and the relations score, with or without an alliance, that would change its answer, or how far short the best relations and an alliance still leave it and, where a smaller share on the panel would pass, the largest such share and the relations it needs with an alliance. Asking prices stay within four times the economic value of the land and below the seller's whole economy, and the deal panel's quote and offer show amounts under a billion in millions instead of $0B. Selling your own land now hands it to the buyer: its economy and people move with it, and so do its map regions where the map divides the country into regions, never the capital region. The buyer pays the price, and the land cannot be demanded back later. A sale that would take the national size index below its floor of 40, or that the buyer cannot pay for, is refused in the quote, and the cost of a sale at home grows with the share sold. The deal panel lists every other country and offers shares of 1, 3, 6 and 12%, and the War Room's guide to how territory changes hands and the Field Guide now name the Diplomatic Service screen and its Territory Deals card.
