1.1.1: Bug fixes and improvements

• •The 1953 Commons is 625 seats, not 650. Downing Street and the Commons page still showed a 650-seat maximum on a 1953 world after the chamber had already been seated at the 1950-55 size (625). They now use the live era size, so the panel reads 625 of 625 with majority 313.
• •Whips are signed by the right person. A state chair's whip used to show as issued by Admin, and chamber leaders' whips did the same. Whips now name the chair of the org that issued them; Admin only appears on an actual admin override.
• •Foreign budgets show a dollar figure. Soviet outlays printed as руб566B with nothing telling you the scale. National budgets in other currencies now show an approximate USD equivalent alongside.
• •Campaigners can actually manage NPPs. The tab opened for a confirmed Campaigner, then every action bounced with "Only the National Chair or National Vice Chair can use party influence." That inner check now matches the tab: confirmed campaigners can boost and move NPPs. Recruitment is still chair and vice-chair only.
• •State pool cards name the parties. The Org Pool and Registration Pool lists showed a coloured dot and an abbreviation. They now show each party's logo and full name, with the abbreviation kept beside it.
• •NPC companies run themselves properly. NPC-led corporations used to sit on piles of idle cash and never sign supply agreements, prospect, or adjust wages. They now invest their surplus, negotiate supply deals, prospect for resources, and pay competitive wages, so the companies around you behave like companies.
• •Soviet players can submit bills again. Bill submission checked your chamber against a fixed list that only covered the US and UK layouts, so a Supreme Soviet member's proposal was rejected before it reached the floor. Chambers are now read from your own country's legislature.
• •Moving house no longer costs you the presidency. Relocating within your own country vacated every office you held, including President, Vice President and cabinet seats. In-country moves now only give up offices tied to a specific state, such as governor or your House and Senate seats. Moving to another country still gives up everything.
• •NPC companies invest instead of hoarding. The spending rules NPC firms follow were written for a modern-money economy and never re-scaled for 1953, so most of them were stuck below the minimum cash to expand, pay a dividend or build. They sat on cash while their share price slid, even with healthy factories. The thresholds now match the era, so those companies put money back to work and pay their shareholders.
• •State Elections is in the state menu. Reaching a state's races meant opening the state page, then Politics, then the Elections tab. There is now a direct link between Economy and Legislature.
• •The status bar stopped covering modal buttons on phones. On a tall form like Propose Legislation, the bottom status bar painted over the Cancel and confirm buttons. Modals now sit above it.
• •Assigning a navy unit no longer kicks you back to Ground. The defence roster used to reload after every assignment and land on Ground again. It now stays on the branch you were working in, and you can assign an entire branch to one general in one order.
• •Interstate haul now counts as freight demand. Haul between states was showing on the logistics map but never entered the market your terminals sell into, so a state could look busy while logistics sat idle. That haul now moves freight prices and sold %, state by state. The map itself is unchanged.

Banking

Borrowed money is not capital. A bank's capital ratio counted cash borrowed from the central bank as its own capital, so a bank close to breaching its capital requirement could fix the problem by borrowing from the emergency lending window — the facility that exists for banks already in trouble. Capital is now what the bank actually owns, less what it owes. Drawing on the window raises your cash and your debt together and leaves your ratio where it was.

One consequence to plan around: making loans now costs you capital ratio rather than adding to it. Lending is funded by your deposits, so a bigger book needs more capital behind it.

Your depositors' money is no longer yours to spend. A chartered bank's cash and its parent corporation's cash were the same pot, so the parent could spend depositor money on anything a corporation does. Banks now hold a reserve floor against their deposits that the corporation cannot spend below. If you hit it you will be told it is the floor stopping you, not that you are out of money.

Retail and investment banks can switch. You are no longer stuck with the charter you picked at founding. A bank can change type from the console, with a 24 turn cooldown afterwards. Switching to an investment charter returns your entire deposit book: player savings go back to the central bank and household deposits return to circulation. Nobody loses a penny, but you lose the funding base you spent turns building and have to build it again if you switch back. Settle any outstanding discount window or margin borrowing first.

The loan book, by credit rating. The household side of your loan book used to be a single implied number. It now breaks out by rating from AAA down to CCC, showing the balance, the rate you are charging, and the expected default rate in each band. You can also set a lending stance — conservative, balanced, or aggressive — deciding which ratings you lend to going forward. It changes nothing about loans already on your book; those keep the rate and rating they were written at.

Aggressive is not a free win. Lending to everyone gets you a much bigger book and more income, on a thinner margin and with a book that fails the supervisor's stress test, and failing that test bars you from paying out to your owner. Conservative earns the best margin on the smallest book. The stress test is now weighted by what you actually lent into, so a prudent book is no longer shocked as hard as a reckless one.

• •House primaries pick one winner again. A party's House primary sends one candidate to the general, and that candidate holds the party's seats in the state. For a while the primary advanced three per party, which meant the party's own NPC candidate stayed on the ballot after you beat it and then took a share of your delegation. Founding election results have been corrected: where you shared your party's seats with an NPC, those seats are yours.
• •Looking at a House race no longer changes who holds the seats. The projected seat count on a live House page was being saved as the real result, so a state's delegation could change while an election was still running. Seats held by NPCs were also showing as vacant on the district map. Both are fixed, and the district maps have been rebuilt from the founding results.

Your bank's money and your company's money are now separate. A chartered bank used to keep its cash in the same pot the parent company spends from, so there was nothing between depositor money and the company's shopping. The bank now holds its own balance.

Moving money into the bank is unrestricted: it is your money going in behind your depositors. Moving money out is limited to whatever the bank holds above its reserve requirement, and only when the supervisor rates it adequate. A bank that failed its stress test cannot pay its owner until it clears.

One consequence when this lands: your bank's cash and your company's cash are split apart, with the bank keeping what it was holding. Company revenue still flows to the company as normal, and if your bank is above its reserve requirement you can withdraw the surplus straight away.

Banks no longer die for doing well. A new bank grew its deposits, went amber, went red, and failed within a handful of turns no matter how it was run. Deposits were being counted as an obligation without the money actually arriving at the bank, so the reserves you were judged against were reserves you could never have held. Deposits now bring their cash with them. A well-run bank stays green, and lending is limited by the cash you actually hold above your reserve requirement.

Investment banks are worth chartering now. They had no way to earn: no deposits, no lending, no per-turn income, and they were still losing part of their financial sector's output to a branch network they are not allowed to use. Investment charters can now lend to corporations, keep their full sector output, and post a third of the capital a retail bank does.

Chartering costs less. The capital a bank must post has been cut, and an investment charter costs a third of a retail one.

The console tells you what is about to go wrong. A reserve gauge showing the line a bank run actually fails at, your confidence score broken into the three things that make it up with the lever that moves each one, and a warning on the last turn where you can still do something about it.

The build queue counts what you actually ordered. A construction order used to be described in capacity units ("545 of 726 units built") while the card right above it counted branches. You order branches, plants and stores; the units are what one of them produces per day. The queue, the arrival rate and the "Being built" figure now all count the thing you bought, using the right word for your sector.

• •House vote counts no longer exceed 435. An open bill's card showed Aye/Nay totals bigger than the House (250-215) because The Count used a cached counter that still included members who had lost their seats. It now counts only the people who currently hold the seats.
