It's new ground: A socialist country.
It's got a new, female leader, a good way to explore themes of sexism in government, even among idealists.
It's currently in an internal political battle between the Galmish socialists, the Valgslandian socialists, and the Malenyevists.
I can see a mechanic in Galmish socialism being a compromise between the two, or leaning heavily towards one or the other, with the player making the choices.
We aren't actually told what the Galmish Manifesto contains, so it might be the thing that we create at the start of the game and we have to try to stick to it.
External affairs could consist of balancing the interests of Valgsland, United Contana, and getting involved in Rikan affairs, giving us our first look at the continent. Also, we could see some action from Arcasia, and be like Yugoslava/Late-Maoist China; an ostensibly socialist country that plays both west and east off each other.
