Politics Points is a Government stat that represents political influence and support, which allows a leader to gain support and legitimize its political actions.
They are continuously generated at a rate based on the current Legitimacy (excluding any "political debts" factor): the higher your Legitimacy, the more Political Points are generated.
It is possible to go below 0 Politics Points, but it then starts to negatively affect Legitimacy as "political debts".
Politics Points are used for many different actions:
- fabricating a territorial claim
- declaring a war
- signing some treaties that include specific terms such as joining a Nation
