As you know the most voted feature was "Politics" and we will therefore focus on that from now on. In the "Politics" update we’ll introduce a system of lobbying laws through politicians.

Economic features will also continue to be worked on. We will certainly develop all that we planned to do in the end, this is only the beginning.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the vote, your ideas and suggestions help us understand what is more important to you all going forward.

We also sincerely apologize for the continued delays on this update, we hope it was worth it!
