Tasks

Tasks are one of the key elements in the game and each require the regent to make a decision.

When making these decisions, it is important to think about the various effects produced afterwards. For example, putting the nation's libraries under religious control would be unpopular for liberals and leftists alike, and the regent may experience a drop in popularity. On the other hand, it will increase the support for religion in the nation, and a religion-friendly government will benefit from such effects.

Tasks can affect any value from international reputation to power; however the most likely to be affected is the regent's popularity.

Usually, when making a decision, the regent will have at least 4 options: Note that with the exception of tasks sat out, all other choices make it impossible to 'reconsider' a task once a decision has been made.
 * A proponent, e.g.: A teacher who demans more funding for education.
 * An opponent, e.g.: A minister who thinks there is too much funding for education already, and that cuts should be made instead.
 * Referendum, this means that the regent lets his or her people decide which course to take.
 * Sit out task. If none of the options seem viable for the regent, then it is possible to sit out the task. This has no consequences at all, and in fact it is possible to 'reactivate' the task later and make a final decision.
