      Testbed for all sorts of policies!

      Things learned:

      ✅ Democracy 🚫 Slavery 🚫 Political machines ✅ Railroads ✅ Splitting up monopolies 🚫 Free market healthcare ✅ Cars in low density areas 🚫 Cars in high density areas ✅ Buses in high density areas

      Maybe the secret is they accumulated a ton of shitty experimental policies! All we have to do to leapfrog them is to simply bring back policies that are known to be shit!
