NationStates program messed up

[Urban Ranger]

I tried outlawing capitalism for awhile, but due to the built-in bias of the program it decided that I'd need to automatically tax everybody at 90%+ with the economy went down the toilet. Anyway, so I restored capitalism, but my tax is still at 80%+ (compared to 40%+ before I abolished capitalism) and it still tells me that private enterprises are illegal.

Something is very messed up in that program.

It's swift and easy to do away with something. Bringing it back takes work. Perhaps you scared away any and all perspective business men and women?

Also, 90% is nothing. Proudly, one of the 100% nations.

I had that happen, without banning capitalism. I just chose to reduce tax a few times, it's now down to 70 something %. I wouldn't worry too much.

I wanted to lower tax rate just a little bit, but it lowered it from 19% to 5%, now I have to raise it back to 19% were I wanted to be in the first place.

I crank my taxes up every chance I get. We've been proudly one hundred percent for months now. Just be patient to get it back down again. It took me a few months but before I decided to ruin Kentaku Bo I had my taxes down to nothing. Try refusing military spending, allowing the uranium mine, and let your people choose where to put their taxes to lower them.

[Urban Ranger]

I did that too, but the tax rate is creeping back up all the time, very strange.

[CapitanGarlic]

Your people want to give you money, and there's not a damn thing you can do about it. Flee!

[GeneralTacticus]

I've noticed that tax rates always seem to change when one makes decisions, even ones that have no bearing on spending or taxes... for example, when I chose not to ban racist soap operas, my tax rates dropped, and when I sided with business in a strike, my tax rates dropped massively and becme flat.

[Urban Ranger]

Racist soap operas? Haven't seen that in a while. I am surprised that cutting back in military funding doesn't do a thing whatsoever. Stupid issue.

[Drogue]

It should do. Remember it takes time to go on, and you may have had another issue that counteracted it. If you gave mroe education spending when you reduce military, for instance, that has no effect to taxes. 1 up, 1 down.

[Urban Ranger]

It still says private enterprises are illegal, even though capitalism is re-enabled a while ago.

[GeneralTacticus]

How did you re-enable capitalism?

[Drogue]

You choose to allow it when you get the issue saying the people want choice.

[GeneralTacticus]

Which issue is that? I've seen the 'economic collapse looms' issue (which lets you ban it), but I've never seen one allowing you to restore it...

[Drogue]

If you ban it, you get one to restore it. However sometimes it wears off if you choose pro-business ones on other issues.
