## Overview
The simulation uses a **three-tier configuration system**:
- **Tier 1: World** - Global constraints outside Canada's control
- **Tier 2: Administration** - Multi-year government policy (4-5 year term)
- **Tier 3: Year** - Fiscal year-specific values
Later tiers override earlier ones. Access via `GameConfigService::get('path.to.value')`.

A policy resolution passed at the Liberal National Convention was intended to target disinformation, but critics warn it could give the government control over Canadian media outlets. The Liberal government says it would never limit freedom of the press and would not implement the policy.
Maintaining a diversity of voices in school libraries is increasingly under threat, even in Canada. Canadian authors say books have been taken off shelves at school libraries for a variety of reasons — including parental concerns over themes such as sexuality.
What if democracy didn't require political parties?
What if governance focused on problems instead of promises?

Ducklings is a fiscal governance platform for Canadian high school students (Grades 9–12). But calling it a "simulation" undersells it.
