Reputation is really only a hint for AI,
and I don't think we should damage AI algorithms that way.
If fascist gov really acts like 3rd Reich did, reputation will fall.
But if they acted like Franco's Spain, reputation will stay high.

There are many places for adding handicaps
and AI code is probably the worse one.
