Ok, I have heard some people say that it is totally stupid, and some use it all the time. I know that there isnt enough info in game for it to be accurate or horribly meaningful, I just want to know the specifics of what its all about.
Why do some use it? and how do they use it?
Why do some hate it? and do they hate it because its just not perfect or some other reasons?
And does anyone know how it works- specificly?

how it works, well, there are a couple of calculators that will tell you how much is put into defence, for example. haven't got the addresses ready to hand, but they're in a sticky somewhere. they take into account things like your population and your nationstates ecnomy rateing, as well as legislation and so on.
of the people who use it and like it, well, it gives everything a sence of realizem
of the people who hate it: when you know how much money you have, it's a lot harder to justify haveing 10 over powered multi-hundred-billion dollar Super Dreadnaughts laying around in various parts of the ocean :P
or alternativly because it is massivly stuffed up and bloated, in a way. ever see a single nation with population into the tens of billions and economic power to reflect that? neither have i, but there are many of them on nation states.
it becomes EXTREAMLY meaningful when you get into the logistics of million man armys [or less] and useing it [and applying it to your opponants forces allso] greatly reduces the risk of godmodeing, at least by pure number wank [i belive that is the term used here for this kind of thing]
umm, yeah, that's my cents on it.

It takes civil rights and political feedoms into account when determining your GDP.
Tell me, how is the right to vote or being able to marry cats going to affect you economy positively?
Not to mention it is extremely biased towards market states

They are useful as guides only as they fail to take into account forum roleplaying.

If you live in a totalitarian state, chances are your freedom of movement is restricted, and that can and will affect the economy. Also, totalitarian states might see less innovation, because citizens are too afraid of their government to try anything new.
Just a thought.
Thirdgeek might exaggerate this, but it is there.
