Greetings..one OUTSTANDING bug that keeps popping up in v.1.40
is a popularity bug. ie. Your popularity soars to 100% and stays there..you can do whatever you want...kill off everyone, arrest your mother. people riot..but you never get thrown out.
Increase taxes 200%. Does not matter.

I have achieved this bug numerous times now and its really stupid.

Example 1:

Start the game. build a uni. do some tv spots, visit some places, cut tax. get your popularity up past 50.
..and here is how I hit 100% every time..
Whatever nation you play, should have an enemy right next to you. Bright red, blind hatred kind of enemy.
I start with air strikes, which prompts them to attack me. after a few days, tv ad, visit some universities, and watch your popularity lock on 100%

This has worked for me everytime with:
India
China
USA ( Once )

Perhaps if we can utilize this bug..and exploit it somehow for trainer usage?

I have 4 saved games with this bug in effect if that would be of any use.

I got this in 1.32 also, and after having a huge world war, suddenly it started going down again for some reason.
