Ideas

All countries have the opportunity to pick ideas using political power. These ideas give various bonuses, and are split between several categories:

• Conscription law: affects how much manpower is available to the country for military service, factory output, dockyard output, construction speed, and training time
• Trade law: affects resources to market, factory output, dockyard output, construction speed, and research time
• Economy law: affects how many factories are dedicated to consumer goods, manpower availability, civilian and military factory construction speed, and conversion speed for factories
• Political advisors: give a variety of bonuses, and can be used to change the political environment in a country
• Research and production companies: give reductions to research time and bonuses to equipment researched under their lead
• Military staff: give bonuses to armies, navies, and air forces
