What kind of changes would you like to see to governments in Express? What might be too strong? What might need a boost?

For the sake of simplicity, try to think of the governments as standalone for this discussion rather than strategy-based. IE: Communism vs commie indy, or tyranny vs tyr techer, etc.

If we have good input and decide changes are even necessary, there's a good chance they'll be implemented

I like your thinking except I would go the other way and drop the tpt back to the old one which gave like 20-25% lower tpt. that would raise tech prices and thus nerf all the other strats, and make having a strong economy harder as a casher for instance.

Right now the game can't handle 2 big techers stocking as they would together supply the market with well over 2/3 of the demand.

so in this case if i was limited to make govt changes I would add "Research labs -25% efficiency" to all govts.

I think you are right about theo being exceptionally bad for primary techers tho, because the SDI is too low to double tap and single-tapping wont allow theo to gain as many total acres as a tyranny with the +20%, so theo could get "Research labs -20% efficiency" instead. A bigger advantage would likely only lead to tyr techer to theo techer being the most efficient way to go.
Could also tweak the tech effectiveness to -30% without making theo casher too good.

Relax's changes risk making theo casher really overpowered. At -25% tech max you got theos making ~97% as much as a rep per acre with high tech, and ~22% more per acre at low tech levels (after food expenses otherwise 25% more). add to that the brutally cheap private market that allows a lot of very good reselling at the end and a very cheap jump.

I spoke about improving a teacher option without putting any real thought into it. I see what your saying about the volume in the small market. That’s a good point. Would nerfing production really raise prices enough to be beneficial overall? I can’t decide if that would be effective or not. It ‘could’ raise prices, then you’d get more techers trying to take advantage of high price tech. Then you could just have more crappy techers with worse production. Hrmmm?? Small market is a tough thing to overcome either way.

I think we need one THERMAL NUCLEAR WEAPON per country when they build 5000 tech labs.
And when you drop it on someone it cuts the entire country in half> everything they have divided by two>

THAT WOULD BE REAL NICE>
