The idea of PP linked events (gofar) is very good, it would give more personality to the game, and also more replay value (not that I doubt the initial one) apart from pure strategic reasons. For example, if you choose War Party, you might end up with peace activists civil dissobedience, on the other hand Mercantile Party might have some Enron-like corporate scandal, and so on...
Also, you guys can maybe think of introducing event "threads". Say, you have a multiple choice event. Now, certain choice could lead to anothere event.

Now, is it possible that using our game from one computer that we have, we can create two independent Metaverse personalities?
