Oh bloody hell...

In an attempt to improve my nation's economy, I've been trying to help business in just a couple of issues. Now my nation has gone from 'left-wing utopia', to 'civil rights lovefest' to 'left0leaning college state' and now is 'capitalizt'.

So now I'm going anti business again to not be right-wing. AAAAAAAH

[Mr. President]

[Nelson voice]

Ha ha!

[/Nelson voice]



You will become capitalist. Resistance is futile.

[Frozzy]

There is no escape from capitalism

[Alex]

If you want to improve your economy, there is no other way...

[red_jon]

Oh thank God, I'm back to a left-leaning college state, with superb civil rights, a good economy and very good political freedoms... phew.

[red_jon]

Could anyone tell I was drunk when I made this thread?

[CapitanGarlic]

Ugh. I've slipped into the realm of Democratic Socialism.

That's just a built-in bias of the game. Clearly it has certain assumptions of how things work, and this is one of them.

So yeah, it is right-wing.

Welcome comrade.

I just got an issue about uranium mining in the rainforest. I want to both protect the environment and also make mountains of money, so I chose the option that says ' "There's no need for an either-or decision," says the government's Minister for Mining, Clear-Felling, and the Environment. "We can preserve most of the rainforest and allow mining of a small part. After all, think of all the good that the money from this uranium deposit can bring to Karakas." ' I hope that has the effect I want.

[GeneralTacticus]

The result is (AFAIK) a boost in economy and the appearance of uranium mining as an industry, along with a loss in the environment. The results message is 'the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas'; I don't know if the same happens if you just cut the rainforest down completely, or if it's something else.

[Drogue]

Cutting it all down leads to "There is widespread deforestation". I've chosen no mining about 6 or 7 times now, hence my economy imploded, but I have an absolutly stunning nation.

[Imran Siddiqui]

That's just a built-in bias of the game.

What happens when that 'bias' is the truth?

[red_jon]

You'll be laughing on the other side of your face when you notice that the Stupidest citizens are in the right-wing countries. Incidently my citizens are amongst the least so

[Provost Harrison]

How exactly does one laugh on the other side of one's face?
