We have plenty of spots now. Note how we are at eighteen EE? Now, you can argue that our Population Explosion will eat that up, and to an extent it does, but note that we are still building the harbor. That takes econ (and immediately refunds EE), thus reducing the loss from population explosion. Any other actions we take that use econ do the same. Hell, last turn we couldn't even fill up Econ at all.
Oh! And also. With our third True City, we now only get 11 per turn from the Pop. Explosion, and 3 overflow can be recycled, so really we can't even lose more than 8 EE a turn, and that is if we end the turn with Econ maxed.
Point being. We are nowhere near needing more EE, and if we were we could pick it up easily.

Well, this is a political quest so why not political parties?
The parties actually became popular once Academia Nut started increasing the complexity of the quest. People couldn't keep up with how the mechanics worked so now each party has one or two analysts which figure out the best course of action for their particular view and then tell the party how to vote.
It's mostly just for fun. Not super serious except the Flock.
The Ymaryn Democratic Socialists are also serious!
...Kinda.
Goblet is too centrist to really attract people with strong views.

Pirates are a symptom to our problems. The fact they somehow managed to steal boats, means that there is something rotten deep in our system. Remove their backers, and the pirates will much easier to solve.
We have zero stability. Best case scenario, it brings us to two.

I think he means 1 point of stability away from a golden age, since we already have 2 maxed stats (mysticism, culture)

It ordinarily takes a full turn at 2 stats max + max stability. Mid turn to mid turn or main turn to main turn.

Fixed.
Also, if anyone wants to join the Democratic Socialist party let me know and we can add you to the group!

That reminds me...
@Andres110 Despite our disagreements on recent HK foreign policy, our views appear to mostly align for the moment. I will join your party.

Some people wanted him to go to war, if I recall correctly...
No, but with pirates they are at least unlikely to run into them. On the other hand, the corrupt elements of the city we are hosting the game in...
Think about it this way. Do you want our unchecked underworld making contact with visiting dignitaries/athletes?

... *facepalm* i've got a window with diffcheckers up so i can do the analysis for this turn, and pulled up an old one to check something, so when i went to check what stability we're at, i looked at that cause it was already up, and forgot it was an old one. So yeah, ignore me @PrimalShadow
At one point at least i remember AN confirming that if we could make it half a turn with those we'd make it...though i think it was that we had max stab but not max stats (or vice versa) going into the main turn, and it was "if you can get both conditions by the mid-turn you'll get a golden age". I'll have to find that again...

Don't forget that with our current corruption, we are still likely to go into a Gilded Age unless Admin-san rolls remarkably well on reducing and preventing it.

Uh...but we don't lose stability from Trade Disruption. We just shrug and make do with merely one gold chamberpot instead of a gold toilet.
Uh, the point of finished goods is not to deny them iron for their domestic use. They can always melt down the tools for iron.
The point of finished goods is to make it so much more affordable to buy Arete quality Ymaryn tools and weapons, that local powers won't be developing the skills needed for it without spending a lot of money to support expensive but worse smiths.
...you recall this is the same Trelli who literally couldn't afford to see either the Khemetri or the Ymaryn lose because they'd collapse after losing our trade right? We learned that they couldn't wage war on us because they'd implode due to traits.
They need to protect their Dominances so badly that losing Ymaryn OR Khemetri trade could destroy them. We don't want to be in that position if we make contact with a Great Trade Power or a Great Industrial Power.

So, a while ago, I wrote a little tiny omake. But then the thread got locked. So I went to one of my discords and talked with some other quest participants and made it just a little better. Then the thread got locked again. Now it's open! So I'm posting it.
Also, here's my vote.

Yeah that's why I said ordinarily. I think there was some other contributing factor present at that time and that we can't assume that 2 max + max stab for half a turn will always do it.

Pirates on Catamarans are not just a symptom anymore. They'd be going out there with Ymaryn tactics and technology.
Fixing the root cause is well and good, but we are releasing iron wielding, catamaran riding pirates into the Mediterranean which nobody else has the tech to catch, much less fight.
I want to chase them down and wipe them out before they have the chance run past the Trelli to set up as a future threat out there.
Our King is very likely to spend his main turn crushing out the corruption regardless. But the pirate fleet will only get harder the longer they spend building up their ability
The Khemetri, Metalworkers and Trelli are coming to the Games by sea.
Which is...pretty much every contestant except the Swamp Folk.
The underworld making contact is worrying, but losing delegations to your own pirates is what you could call a major diplomatic incident.
