MESSAGE FROM PETRUXA - THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR OF THIS MOD
At this point I don't have it in me to keep on maintaining this mod. In case anyone is interested, I'd be happy to make him a co-author, in order to continue running this page and update the mod himself.

I leave everyone a right to take the mod as it is, and just make whatever he likes out of it.

MESSAGE FROM Joakim.Westergaard - NEW CARETAKER OF THIS MOD
While I/We do try to keep this mod updated to a "working standard" since Petruxa left, I could certainly use help! This is especially concerning:
-Bug Fixing
-Updating when Stellaris updates (Major updates in particular it VERY time consuming)
-Translating the mod into other languages as I have neither the time or skills to update other the than English Localization.

********************************************************************************

IN CASE YOU DISCOVER A "BUG", YOU WISH TO REPORT, PLEASE, MAKE SURE THAT MY MOD IS SOURCE OF THAT BUG. IN ORDER TO DO IT, YOU HAVE TO DISABLE ALL OTHER MODS YOU USE, BESIDES MINE, AND CHECK IF THE BUG STILL OCCURES. PRO TIP: Make a second playset in the laucher using only this mod - its quick and easy!

I am asking, because 99,9% of the reported "bugs" appear to be simple mods compatibility issues. Thanks for understanding.

BRIEF INTRODUCTION
**********************************

- 2 new Ethical scales:

COOPERATIVE / COMPETITIVE - to reflect economic values of your society, reflecting the ownership of property and how wealth and means of production are distributed;

ECOCENTRIST / INDUSTRIALIST - to reflect Species relation towards their biosphere;

Basically, vanilla Authoritarian - Egalitarian paradigm was transformed into 2 independent scales: Authoritarian - Libertarian and Competitive - Cooperative, where Authoritarian - Libertarian only reflects political values, and how political power is distributed between State and Citizens

Number of available Ethic points was increased to 5

around 50+ new Civics, along with some rebuild/modified vanilla Civics

New civics are of different types: Green (regular) an Yellow (so-called "themed governments"). Some of the vanilla Civics has been modified or disabled, in order to maintain the consistency of the Civics set as a whole.

- a new Authority type: [b]DIRECT DEMOCRACY

- 30+ new Government forms

- a range of new Policies: ECONOMIC STANCE, AUTHORITY STANCE, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE, TRANSPORTATION, TELECOMMUNICATION, and a few new Trade policies

- 20 new Jobs

- Maximum Leader level has been increased to 20

Localisations: English, and French are updated while other included languages are outdated! If someone want's to sign up and translate, Id be happy to include them.

Russian translation is found in this mod (Thanks to Fres):

CONCERNING MISSING ETHICS IN UI. If you do not see all ethics in the game please confirm that you have no other mods touching the UI installed or that you have a compatibility path installed correctly (one is provided for UI Overhaul).

ALSO: The images shown in the mod description are outdated (alas, cannot update these). The number of Ethics are fewer than shown, e.g. Pluralist has been removed. The mod windows work if you see an ethic line called cooperative/competitive.
