My point here is that every model has flaws and imperfections, but the Neoliberal one is particularly flawed in that it simply does not recognize that other forms of running things exist. At all. Whether these are good or bad is irrelevant to me - they existed, but the game does them no justice, and I can understand this is due to the model used - but then again, that was my original point. In a game these imperfections are particularly jarring because freedom of play would allow people to experiment and have more fun. Realistic contrast between models would offer new perspectives and ideas.

To counterexample, yes, North Korea certainly has taxes like any other country, but these are not 1:1 the ones found in Western countries. Same for the African states (recognized or not), or the Mexican drug cartels, or pretty much anyone falling out of the 'standard model'. Running them as the average Western state betrays as complete disregard for them and the ability of the player to choose.

Finally, I am not going to debate that here as I had my fair share of discussions and in my experience people agreeing with Neoliberals never change their minds, so you will have to excuse me if I honestly think we will have to disagree.

All I will add however that the Neoliberal model has been already shown to have substantial flaws. Most hyperinflation happens during periods of high unemployment, for example, like The Great Recession or Zimbabwe's land reform that destroyed the economy. Again my suggestion if you do not believe is to look at these historical yourself, do not let others do it for you.
