_ Hello ex Zugzwang citizens sadly it seems that our great country has been brought to ruins by our past leaders who used force to conquer Zugzwang but no one liked that so other countries got bored and nuked us, that's what happened to Zugzwang.

Any who all jokes aside, Civic mirror was a very fun and interesting simulation that our class played for civics and careers. It wasn't easy that was quite evident by the amount of deaths we had during our first year, which I believe was around 45-50 deaths or so, and our first trading season was very chaotic and funny since we couldn't get anything done which caused most of our populations death. But as the years progressed nothing had improved, deaths we’re on the rise and it was still chaotic with people yelling at either the Prime Minister or Elijah who scammed the heck out of a lot of people with donations and other outrageous deals. The really fun parts of Civic Mirror were either the House of Commons or the court sessions which both had some comically funny and interesting moments. Like the mock case between Tyler and Ethan during our second court session or when Nathan brought up the dictatorship bill, now that was surprising. No one was ever serious about placing a dictatorship in and removing democracy, whenever it was brought up we would just joke about it not giving it any serious thought but everyone was surprised and angry when Nathan's party had brought up the idea of a dictatorship. But I'm saying all this in a good way if not for Nathan this wouldn't have been as fun if no one brought it up. By doing this, things became even more chaotic like betrayals happening everywhere; corruption increased making it even more interesting. Civic mirror was a simulation that showed peoples true faces when given more power.

Now onto myself, if I had to choose what my greatest weakness was I would have to say being too nice. Whenever I was given a moment of power over others I did not abuse that power to make myself even more wealthier and powerful. But that was also my greatest strength since everyone knew that they could trust me since I was a very honest and truthful person.  If not for this simulation I do think that I wouldn’t understand how Canada and the world itself ran as well as I would if we hadn’t done this. I learnt a lot about how the economy ran and all sorts of interesting facts, I also learnt a lot about politicians and the government itself which was really fun. Finally to conclude all of this I found that the really fun part of Civic mirror is when people panicked and caused chaos making things even worse that was my favourite part of civic mirror and I do hope that FFP continues with civic mirror in the future for the other classes.
