There isn't much in the game right now. The middle eastern influence is relegated primarily to when I'm looking for explanations as to why and how a militant group like the LCS could become popular and influential. The objective isn't to make it realistic, but look to a real-world example to get ideas for how to direct future developments.

According to a book on the Basque terrorists, the Basques conduct terrorist attacks because they knew the Spainish government would react heavily against the terrorists and conduct a terrible crackdown. The crackdown would be unpopular, targeting other Basques not affilated with the movement, and thereby make the Basques more sympatethic with the terrorists.

Is there such a mechanic within the game, where causing a terrorist attack means the Conservative Government begin cracking down on Liberals, meaning Liberals may become more likely to lean towards you? It might be a tad imbalancing though...

The Liberals are always kinda on your side anyhow

You want the Undecided and Concervatives themselves to swing to your favor.

Though if the game got mechanics where the community itself could aid you (Such as starting a riot when your running away from the police or putting pressure on court cases) then I could see where it would be helpful.

another idea, have liberals you meet in encounters with the conservatives fight along side you, depending on the country's liberal status, with a slight chance of accidentally hitting them of course, instead of just running away

Nah, they're not determined to do something. They'll bolt because they're civvies. Plus, since they're Liberals they need to be weak-kneed pacifists, even moreso when doing so is socially acceptable. ;)
