What's up with this statistic? If I have ever subsidized an industry, it was through misclicking on an issue yet I am in the top 10% of the world for subsidized industry. How can this be? What determines this statistic?

Did you raise or maintain tarrifs for the automobile industry?

---Tarrifs are a form of subsidy.

Did you give huge government funds to the automobile industry after the bicyclists' protest?

---If the automobile industry soak up huge government funds, you are subsidising it.

Did you allow corporations to donate to political parties?

---Corporations won't donate to political parties and expect nothing in return. The politician has to return the favour by supporting and (maybe) subsidising industries.

Other than that, I cannot help you.

No tariffs.

No funds for auto industry.

Yep, corps can donate all they want to the parties (in RP terms the GOVERNMENT frequently asks corporations for donations).

Heck, we have virtually no taxes so we couldn't subsidize industries much if we wanted to. I'm vehmently opposed to subsidies, so I cannot figure out how I got so high a rating.

Exactly the same here.
