Interests

Interests represent the five domestic power basis of your nation; a resource that can be spent on activities during the game. Hoping to end your administration, each time you give an interest holder political fulfilment (max level) or adversely no say at all(depleted level), they will escalate their struggle by another stage. As in real life, to avoid losing the game depends on you skillfully balancing competing domestic interests.
