Thank you so much for your kind words and taking the time to play it! <3
Unfortunately, yeah, I haven't implemented basically any of the actual "gameplay", most of what I had in terms of time and energy went into stuff in the background, like making news articles, proposals and issues dynamic and modular in terms of how they can be generated and processed by stuff. The main reason the influencing already works is actually because I wanted to have the "roll dice" function working. The exact mechanics will most likely get revised at some point.
But in general - this will get worked on further, so I hope to see you back when there are a few more updates :)
