There's one about compulsary voting versus voluntary voting versus no voting at all, but I don't know if it will be offered to a dictatorship.

Should Democracy be Compulsory?
Don't know which would be best, but definetly not option 3 (Outlaw voting)!

Appointment of Spiritual Advisor
choice 3 (teacher who resigns) might increase political freedom?

Animal Liberation Front Strikes Again
Choice 2 (the moderate choice) might up political freedom.

People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right
Choice 2 is the obvious one here.

Corporations Demand Political Say
One of these will do it, don't ask me which though (once again, NOT 3!).

Citizens Struggle Under "Unfair" Tax Burden
Choice 3 might.

Nazi Sympathizers Plan Rally
Choice 2 might.

Budget Time: Accountants Excited
Something here might (probably 1 or 3 if anything).

Traffic Cops Needed on International Superhighway?
Choice 3 might.

Just a list of ones I think might. I could have missed some and I could be wrong.

So far as I've been able to tell, once you drop below a certain level on a particular freedom, it becomes harder to get issues that allow you to raise that freedom. Once you're a dictatorship, you'll only get a few of the political-freedom-raising issues, so be very careful to select the freest option on *all* of them.

I managed to climb from Father Knows Best State to Scandanavian Liberal Paradise and back down to Innoffensive Centrist, where I am now. It can be done! TAKE HOPE, DICTATORSHIPS!

In Nazis Plan Rally, choice two does raise freedom
In Corporations Demand Polit. say, choice one raises freedom

There is an obvious over abundance of proposals in the UN. The are only voted on by the UN if they recieve enough support, but how am I to read through them all. If they must recieve enough support to be voted on by the UN than they should also be allowed to be voted to be removed from the proposal list.

I. All existing proposals required to recieve a number of support votes should have an option to cast negative support which should be set in accordance with the support votes (ie. they must recieve 124 to be voted on by the UN then there should be an option so cast negative support. If 50 negative support be submitted then it should be deleted.)

II. Any proposal recieving set amount of negative support should be deleted.

Allowing corporations to donate to political parties will increase political freedomes

Allowing voluntary voting will increase political freedoms

Allowing the populace to vote for the death penalty will increase political freedoms.

I've noticed one thing with my other nation. The political rights, which was at a high of widely abused, dropped without any reason to world benchmark. After a while, I got it up to excessive, then it dropped to world benchmark then superb, where it stayed. No matter how liberal my choices are. My civil rights stayed at excessive, no matter how liberal my choices are.

It seems that it's easier to outlaw civil and political rights than to abuse them in the most libertarian way.
