U should have a window where u can check the avarage lifestile of your pop.
It should include many things for example:

- Health
- Work, how many hours and how hard
- Food, how much, what kind of food
- Religion
- Family, avarage size, living conditions
- Material Wellfare

And some more useful information that can be of importance while making propaganda.

We already have the demographics, but yes, if they have time, they may put that in. If they have enough time. It could be a good addition.

And using it for propaganda: If they ever want to elect their leader, maybe that's good. But if you're talking about how to get people to go to war against someone, this becomes a bit harder. You have to know if there are resources which you don't have in your enemy's area, so that you can provoke your people to get those resources. Now, what have I written? This was quite unrealistic: how many wars have people waged because their leaders told them that they need just those resources from that area, and only by war?

The Jihad/crusades then, they are a bit more realistic. If somebody has different religion than you, your people may attack them happily. But we have already discussed about those.

Propaganda is not only for war. I ment that knowing things about your people will automaticully make them more happy with u as a leader (beacouse u can better tell them what they want to hear). Propaganda is not only for making your people do things it's also about appease them whatever u do. But most of all propaganda is about controlling the minds of your people.
Here are examples what u can make propaganda about:
- How good u are as a leader (^_^)
- Care for the enviroment
- All types of governments
- All types of religion
- All kinds of races and etnic groups
- All kinds of poltical agreements

With a lifestyle-window u can watch how everything affects the people u control and that's why it will be a good guide in making the right decisions. It includes all kinds of decisions including propaganda.
