this might be true when the game designers put out CIV III, and it
incorporates laws to be placed on
the civs.  you could have hangings and such for bizaare sex-acts on sunday,
life imprisonment for
consuming whatever substance the player is currently turned off about and
all.
and you have to come up with the perfect dope for the masses. make them
think they are happy,
while keeping them sure that they are helpless to change anything except
thru proper channels which
only APPEAR to lead somewhere.       rj
