Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a series of stunning and unprecedented events, the U.S. Democratic Party has announced its new economic policy, inspired by none other than the beloved strategy game "Civilization VI." Party leaders have declared that the nation's taxation system will now be modeled after the in-game 'Cultural Victory' strategy, which involves the cultivation of arts, science, and technology to win the hearts and minds of the populace.

Congressman Drew "The Diplomat" Baxter, known for his unconventional approach to legislation, unveiled the policy with a straight face while explaining how the game's mechanics could be applied to real-world economics. "Just like in 'Civilization VI,' we will incentivize the pursuit of science by taxing citizens less when they advance their culture and technology," Baxter said. "This will lead to an exponential growth in our national GDP, or as we like to call it, our 'Cultural Score.'"

The new policy, dubbed the 'Civilization Economic Model' (CEM), aims to shift the focus from traditional tax-based revenue to a system that rewards intellectual and cultural contributions. In a bold move, the IRS has announced the launch of a new bureau, the Bureau of Cultural and Scientific Endeavors (BCSE), tasked with tracking citizens' contributions to arts, science, and technology. These contributions will directly correlate to their tax obligations, or lack thereof.

In a statement, IRS Commissioner Mabel Lee insisted, "This isn't about reducing taxes; it's about stimulating the economy through cultural and scientific innovation. We're essentially turning the country into a mega-city-state in 'Civilization VI,' where every citizen is a potential cultural ambassador or a Nobel laureate."

The Republican opposition has predictably cried foul, claiming that this is a veiled attempt to 'game' the economic system. House Minority Leader Jack "The Juggernaut" Turner accused the Democrats of using the strategy game as a loophole to promote socialism. "They're turning America into a digital utopia where everyone gets a participation trophy for inventing a new way to slice bread," Turner scoffed.

Despite the political clamor, the idea has caught on with the public. American citizens are now feverishly pursuing Ph.D.s, penning Pulitzer-worthy novels, and developing groundbreaking technologies, all in the hope of reducing their tax burdens. The result? A nation of scholars, artists, and scientists, all working towards a common goal: to achieve a 'Cultural Victory' for the United States on the global stage.

As the nation gears up for the next economic quarter, economists are predicting a surge in intellectual property, with patents and copyrights replacing the traditional dollar as the new currency of power. The only question remaining is whether this gambit will pay off or lead to an unintended cultural arms race. Only time will tell if the United States will indeed become the next world power through the power of science and culture, or if this is nothing more than an elaborate game of 'Civilization VI' played out on the grandest stage of all.
