It’ll be interesting to see if his "King of the North" approach actually translates into national policy that works for everyone, not just specific regions. I wonder if he has a concrete plan to bridge the divide between the urban hubs and rural areas? Hope is great, but we need the actual blueprints now.

Big energy from Burnham stepping up to lead! That "King of the North" title carries some serious weight for the next level of this game. Do we think he’s got the right strategy to actually flip the leaderboard and bring back that hope?

What about Iran, or Israel, you going to find an option tat wont anger/embolden certain people to act in a way we would never condone?

Direct democracy or at least give me somewhere to live away from consumers.
