These are some great bug fixes and changes! I only have two suggestions for things I'd like to see.
1. A feature in the options at the start of the game to change the start date. It gets a bit tiring to start a new game and always be in Sweden in 2024, at least for me. It might be nice to be able to start from a later year, or even an earlier one! It'd also be nice to be able to set the host country when you're starting the game, at least for years in the future.
2. The voting sequence in the grand final especially can get a bit long, hypothetically it would be nice to have some sort of speed slider so that you can still watch the results if you want, but at a faster (or even slower) speed.
Other than those two things, I've been really enjoying the game! I've been looking for this kind of thing for a while!
