Lobbyism

[Cerberus23]

I enjoy having something like that ingame, yet - there should be a downside to lobbyism since it's not always money to "persuade" politicians into making the right decisions to save money. Sometimes it's to "persuade" politicians into making wrong or questionable decisions cause they the company would benefit from them.

This should go hand in hand with the public perception of the company.

So assumed you set funds for you lobbyist (so he can save you money wherever it's legally possible) you might also disable or enable checkboxes to guide his efforts into different directions. So he might be able to influence:

[ ] executive authority
[ ] legislative power
[ ] public relations activities

While this could go unnoticed by the public most of the time (and just save you money) there might occur situations where the public is unhappy (or happy from public relations activities) with your lobbying efforts towards these categories (could be an undefined inbox message or newspaper article saying "People are un/happy with the late lobbying efforts of "Your company here" - Image and Sustainability has taken a "massive, modest, etc." hit / gain.).

As i mentioned in the Electric & Hydrogen (& Hybrid) Thread i'd suggest to implement a new Prestige category: Sustainability.

This category could be affected by these events too.

Thanks for reading all this clutter
