Dueling Law

The introduction of this law is blocked by the law of "Sustain Life."

Care House

After introducing the "Radical Treatment" or "Sustain Life" law

Mortally ill people are sent to a new building, Care House. This allows Medical Lent to treat the sick. Additionally, the patients who stay there eat 50% of the food. Regardless of the medical policy pursued, it is worth implementing this law. It increases the rate of hope.
