What makes this briefing different

Authority coverage

Authority appears in rounds 2, 4. Keep at least one of these appointments to avoid the normal missing-authority multiplier.

Country coverage

Canada, Nigeria, Germany, South Korea. These rounds represent 4 countries, so a complete cabinet receives the normal +8 coalition bonus.

Competing appointments

Multiple pools have their highest normalized fit in Propaganda Minister and President. Compare the fallback roles below before filling a shared specialist seat.

Make the trade-off

Role fit is one part of the score

Percentages use the live scoring engine's normalized role weights. All candidates in the same pool share a category and country, so choosing a different name within that pool does not improve role fit. The seat you assign changes the outcome.

Check tier bonuses and penalties alongside the complete role table. A high-fit seat can still compete with a stronger bonus elsewhere. These inputs are calculated from the bundled date seed; battlefield variance means they are not a guaranteed final score.
