Approval Rating is a statistic indicating how well you are received by your people. It is a point-based system represented as a percentage, between 0 and 100%. The actual points behind the approval rating can vary from infinitely negative, to infinitely positive. If your Approval Rating points are less than 0, your rating is represented as 0%. Should they exceed 100, it is represented as 100%. Various actions can increase or decrease your approval rating, and also every turn it will either increase or decrease by some amount.
