Right Decision, Wrong Effect

You tell college students not to do something, they'll do it.

I've made a couple anti-military decisions, and yet "The large government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defence."

The outcomes don't always seem to make much sense to me.

There was one issue I dismissed because the three options were not-acceptable to me:

Ban cars
Ban Cyclists
Fund the automobile industry.

I let the death penalty be instituted because it was what the people wanted, and my civil and political rights increased.

Naturally.

I dismissed Gay marriages and no divorce issue.

meh. i opted to give raises to people on strike, then i got "union strikes occur daily"

SlowwHand · January 9, 2003, 13:28

Kind of like paying a terrorist that takes hostages.

wouldn't you go strike every day if you got a pay rise every time you did so?

i didn't say "always give them raises" i wanted only those specific people to. they were essential workers iirc

Some of this stuff is weird.

I had the choice of either allowing police camera's everywhere, or to not allow them. Now, it says that I have banned surveillance camera's in the whole country.

Another one, I banned contributions from corporations to political parties, and it says that 'corporate and private dontations to political parties are banned"

I chose to increase freedom of speech and now it tells me that my youth is the most mosthfoul of the region...

Although the game defines me as Democratic Socialists, all private enterprise is forbidden in my country

Wernazuma III · January 12, 2003, 17:04

Actually I think the maker of nationstates is a moron, but still it's funny.

I just got this too. D'oh!

Sheep · January 14, 2003, 07:29

I funded the motor industry. Helps the economy

Drogue · January 14, 2003, 09:08

I banned cars. I would have liked to have banned petrol and diesel cars, but it wouldn't let me, none of the other options I could ever agree with, and I don't dismiss issues, I want to listen to my people.

Giovanni Wine · January 15, 2003, 17:25

I had the death penalty issue... and decided to not allow it.

And this has appeared to my country description

and extreme political groups are outlawed

With my Civil rights losing some points because of that...

i accepted the proposal to ban cruel practices in the meat industry and got the "meat eating is frowned upon". i knew i should've told the protesters to STFU

Urban Ranger · January 18, 2003, 00:00

It is very screwed up. I banned selling organs for $, and now it tells me that organ donation hits an all time low. What the hell? Don't tell me it is not rightwing.

Arnelos · January 18, 2003, 00:20

It's not right-wing. Witness today's ranking of people. The dumbest nations to the smartest nations are organized right-wing to left-wing.

That's an obvious political statement by the owner that right-wing = dumb as a brick

So there ya go

Archaic · January 18, 2003, 03:37

It's probably more likely just a hit at America, the country where 11% of the population can't even find their own country on a world map.

Donegeal · January 18, 2003, 05:39

I liked todays rankings cause I made it on the first page!

Oh, wait.... thats not a good thing this time.... hmmm...
Let me think on this a while....

*** 2 hours later a tumble weed blows by ***

...Yep, not a good thing.

Donegeal,

Not necessarily...

You see, the way I look at it, just because most of our citizens have an IQ equivalent to that of a telephone pole doesn't mean that the conspiratorial leadership is that dumb... rather, all of the brains are concentrated at the top, making the manipulation of all the poor sobs in the whole rest of the power pyramid painfully easy

So sorta the Human Hive meets Morgan Industries...

I'd rather have Morgan Industries meets the University, though... so I'm going to have to work on that one

I was thinking Nation States would either be

Fun to play, or
Funny in a satirical or ironic way.

Neither.

Dauphin · January 24, 2003, 12:47

It was good at first, but now its losing its appeal to me.

Of course we could apply the same strategy we used successfully in the Civ3demo game.

Kill off all the citizens of the other civilizations until ours are the most intelligent because their the only ones left alive..........
