Societal Value

Absolutism vs Liberalism

absolutism_vs_liberalism

An Absolutist country will focus more on the centralized authority of its ruler while reining in the power of the different estates, while a Liberal country will emphasize the importance of civic liberties and legislative governing bodies.

Both ideals grant the same Political Influence gain, as a country committed to either extreme governs more decisively than one that stands between them.
