Sleeper agents maybe? Or hmm.. maybe expanding the Business Fronts you own, i dont know.
Let's say you expand your business front for another $100k and it will generate the funding for the campaign

Haha Albert Fish for president! "And the next president of the United States of America is this child molesting, shit eating, urine drinking, sadomasochist cannibal freak you all love, Mr. Albert Fish" (He was even more fucked in the head IRL)

That is wrong on so many levels, however being able to put your own high ranking liberal as president/senate is not a bad idea.
If possible it should be extremely expensive (running for president/senate is not cheap).
If it's not possible, it would be nice if you could do something with your Liberals that have max juice.

Perhaps maybe send them away to another city (non playable city) to start a new Liberal Crime Squad (that you can read about in the newspaper) spreading the Elite Liberal Agenda.

Actors do (though they don't start with seduction skill necessarily), but Fashion Designers do not get bonus Charisma. Do you think they should?

Hmm. I wonder if the seduction cap should be straight based on Charisma?

Maybe, saw a fashion show on the tv and everyone at that show kinda worshiped the Designers that made the clothes (Models, reporters and regular people they talked to)
But i guess that could be because of their high Tailoring skill (since they talked about the clothes they designed. But they were all like "omg his/her dresses are amazing, that dude/dudette is a genius")
Could Models be added to the game? (high charisma & seduction +bonus, and low on everything else)

Psychology skill could help some.
It may be worth putting in a bonus/penalty for what you're wearing on the date.

If Psychology means the art of manipulation, then yes (Let's say you have someone with 10+ in both Seduction and Psychology, they get 1 extra love slave (not sure how the new love slave cap works, not played since the changes))
Think Ted Bundy... batshit insane, extremely high Seduction & Psychology (and Persuasion & Law, he was his own lawyer in court)
Even though he was a monster, the ladies would still die for him and/or marry him. (not saying every women would, but alot of them did)

And about the bonus/penalty for clothes is also a good idea.
Expensive Suit/dress should give a bonus to Persuasion/Seduction (maybe Law/Business too. Maybe a penalty when talking to Hippies (Hippies hate corporate CEOs with fancy clothes)) Expensive clothes = successful person (in most cases)
And maybe a Police Uniform should give a bonus to Persuasion/Psychology etc.

Another crazy idea would be the ability to bust out those serialkillers and mass murderers you read about in the newspaper and let them join the LCS. Imagine having a squad of Dahmer, Gein, Bundy, Fish etc.  8)

This --> http://unrealsoftware.de/game_stranded2.php it's also free.
You are stranded on a small island, you have to build shelter, get food and water, create weapons/tools to hunt/fish, protect yourself from dangerous animals etc.
The main goal in the vanilla game is to collect enough food & water, and build a raft to get to the next island and so on

There's also a really great mod for it called The Survivalist (i suggest running the vanilla game first, the mod can be quite huge for new players) modlink --> http://unrealsoftware.de/forum_posts.php?post=337277#jn
The mod contains alot of new stuff not found in the vanilla game, no story mode atm though, and you play on a random generated island.

Uplink is really easy once you get the hang of it, remember the Internic server is your friend, and for the Global Crime/Social Services/International Academic Servers, this username is your friend --> readwrite

Saw the original poster mentioned The Guild 2, have you tried the first Guild? (It's called Europa 1400, it's similar but quite different)

There's also those Superpower games, Supreme Ruler, Geo-Political Simulator, Shadow President/CyberJudas
Guess you can't go to jail, but you can do terrorist and other actions and framing someone else for it (example, Iceland does some shady stuff to Norway, and frames Sweden for it, Norway attack Sweden, then Iceland attack Norway for attacking Sweden etc. (This is not easy to do, speaking from experience. The game was Superpower 2)

This might not be what you're looking for but...

Looong time player, first time poster.

Do Actors, Fashion Designers etc. get at charisma bonus? So they can have more love slaves? (everyone loves actors/artists IRL.)
I always use actors and fashion desginers (sometimes socialites, if i find one with good stats) as pimps when i play.

And a big thank you to all who have made this the best game ever made!! (I have played LCS more than i have played Crusader Kings 2, and i play that alot....  8))

There is this old game called Floor 13 (released on both DOS and Amiga in 91/92).

"Somewhere in London is a secret organization that is based on the 13th floor of an office building. The sole purpose for this organization’s existence is to keep the current British government in power at any cost - specifically, that means helping the current Prime Minister keep ahead of his competition in the polls."

Screens and a longer description here --> http://www.mobygames.com/game/floor-13
can be downloaded here --> http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/140/Floor+13.html (both dos & amiga version)

It's text based (with pictures).
It also has a random mission generator + some storyline missions.
Really cool game, hard as hell. Save often!
