Preliminary plan:
[] Plan: Transit Maximalist
I am a transit maximalist. I believe that when a girl hornyposts from the other side of the country; I should be able to get on a maglev and arrive in her city before the prog is out of her system for no more than $40. All policy should bend to serve this goal.
-[] Infrastructure
--[] Durable Goods Libraries (-2 Reputation) (+1 People's Opinion) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Durable goods libraries will help us get more bang for our buck with our consumer goods rollout.
-[] Light Industry
--[] Democratically Selected Consumer Goods Factory Complex (+2 Reputation) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
The durable goods libraries increase availability, and combined with the bureau of Consumer Goods, we can build what the people want rather than making a top down decision without good information about that.
-[] Heavy Industry
--[] Construct Geothermal Power Plants (Helpful) (Bonus: +1 PttF + 2 Omake = 3)
Geothermal power plant because that bonus has been sitting there for ages, and we're about to do a lot of heavy industry work which is going to be power hungry. MSRs will fill that gap in time, but right now geothermal is what's available and won't ding our Fuel levels.
--[] The Dragon Rail (Mega-project - 1/64) (Harmful) (Sub Vote) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
--[] Rail Development Design Project (Mega-project - 3/3) (+1 Reputation) (Reduced Actions For The Dragon Rail) (Sub Vote) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
--[] Build Rolling Stock And Rail Factory Complex (Harmful) (+1 Reputation) (Reduced Actions For The Dragon Rail) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Why did I put Dragon Rail as a sub-vote? Because that's worth its own vote on what the system should be, and there's a design vote in there for the actual rolling stock development.
-[] Military
--[] Construct Military Building/Factory Complex (What) (Harmful) (-3 People's Opinion)
---[] Construct Steel Leopard Factory Complex (-4 Reputation) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
It's overdue, and hopefully the new models will be ready in time to do some good on the Chinese front.
-[] Social
--[] Refugee Integration (-3 Reputation) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Second verse, same as the first.
--[] Consumer Goods Bureau (???) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Now, some of this is pretty standard stuff: quality checks to make sure there's no rat poison in baby food, or carcinogens in your pillow stuffing, etc. (With enough teeth to make manufacturers comply)
But it's also there to directly liaise with the labor councils and determine what people actually want for their consumer goods. They help liaise and collate information to help consumers make decisions about what consumer goods factories get built.
And finally, they act as… consumer goods NACA. They do R&D on what features are good and bad, they test and reverse engineer western goods, they do studies on limited production runs to see what features people like and which ones are bad, and they advise manufacturers on how to improve their stuff.
--[] National Zoning Plan (???) (Sub Vote) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Land use is a huge thing for rail development, and while we're at it we may as well come up with a more general national zoning plan that will save us a headache later by planning for future growth on a longer term horizon.
I bumped a housing action to the next turn because I realized we really should figure out zoning post haste given all the rights of way needed for the Dragon Rail.
-[] Political
--[] China Refugee Outreach (???) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
Hearts and minds! Provide food and shelter, and if the front lines have moved far enough start trying to get reconstruction going. Get labor councils going to help organize and administer services in the interim and support them materially as best we can.
Closer to active warzones, arrange to have one older family member take the kids with them to Guangchou where they can wait out the war in safety and continue their schooling so you don't get a missing generation.
If there's educated young adults who can work trades, see about sending some of them on temporary contract with the Ouvry where they can contribute to the Dragon Rail buildout while the war is happening and then return home with skills and experience they can apply to reconstruction.
Do a PR campaign that scapegoats the dead party orthodoxy and try to win good will by providing essential goods and services in these turbulent times, the general message being 'the Party fucked up, and your oversea communist siblings are stepping up to unfuck their shit and get you back on your feet'.
-[] CyPac
--[] Military Intervention - South Yemen (Optional: Volunteer Forces) (+2 Reputation) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
---[] No Volunteer Forces
--[] Optional Military Intervention - Mozambique (Optional: Volunteer Forces) (+1 Reputation) (Bonus: +1 PttF)
---[] No Volunteer Forces
Both SY and Mozambique have been on the to-do for a while, and while Mozambique is now optional, I want to help them wrap things up there before we touch Freedom's Cry because that's right in their neighbourhood.
No volunteer forces tho - the Chinese civil war is still taking up all of those.
