With the amount of policies, their various different uses, and the fact that some policies are just plain better than others- think it makes a lot of sense to give players policy picks based on a points system. This system could rely on the amount of strength that the capitol has, the amount of strength gained in the past month, the amount of actives compared to the alliance in second place (this would be the months average to prevent sabotaging). This could be super cool and allow the lesser used, yet cool policies, such as airship, to finally get some use. It would also make sense for the benevolent/oppressive policies to cost more policy points for the capitol. This could make choosing capitol policies a much more difficult choice, and budgeting your points would make some lesser used policies more oftenly chosen, as well as making capitols think twice about the benevolent/oppressive policies they choose. This system could also apply to Rivina.
