What if Donald Trump and Joe Biden policies, doctrines, principles, philosophies, and initiatives were added to Rise of Nations as doctrines? This article will explain how these could be implemented and effectively function as doctrines, similar to military doctrines. The charts below are divided into three categories: Society, Economic, and Military.
Notes[]
The doctrines and modifiers below are politically neutral and balanced, avoiding any alignment with Trump or Biden.
I am not the 'best' at American politics (though I have some proficiency), so please correct me if there are any errors via commenting.

Donald Trump vs Joe Biden Modifiers[]
As previously said, to make the blog post as neutral as possible, I tried my best to balance the modifiers between Donald Trump and Joe Biden for every doctrine category. So below, the two charts will explain the upsides and downsides each category provides.
Buffs Education Spending's modifiers but also increases the upkeep cost.
Boosts manpower gain and city resistance, while also reducing infantry cost. This is because guns are legalized and widespread, and if your population is armed, then it will provide benefits to your military and homeland defense, since the attacking forces capturing your cities will face significant consequences when dealing with armed civilians.
Buffs infrastructure by reducing its construction cost and hastening its construction speed.
Introduces many downsides such as reduced tax income, factory speed, and mines construction speed. It also increases factory and mines construction cost.
Significantly upgrades your military by boosting attack, defense, movement speed, and training speed, while also reducing recruitment time.
This category is 'best for diplomacy' because it reduces faction formation costs and increases the maximum faction member threshold.
Heavily increases research output, base stability, unrest reduction, and reduces military research costs.
Buffs Security Spending's modifiers but also increases its upkeep costs.
Significantly increases military upkeep.
Notes[]
↑I would label it as "Space Force Development", but since there are no assets in RoN that are related to space, astronomy, or astronautics, it would be labeled as "Air Force Development."
