UN Ranking is wrong
It's listed 'Largest Gambling Industries' going from smallest to biggest.
I.e. I'm usually 2nd in Europe, now I'm 2nd to last.

Yes, I got a bit of a shock as well when it looked like a gambling industry had sprung up overnight.
I am 73rd in the world and I have banned gambling, it seems the ranking has been reversed or something.

Confirmatorzoid. I can't believe I'm 14th in my region...with an economy like mine, my gambling industry can't have shrunk...can it?

Don't worry, it's just upside down :)

I noticed it too, normally I am in the 1000-1500 range, now I' m #79000 or so...
I believe my small sized gambling industry justifies my policy of allowing 5year olds to gamble. Those nations which prohibit their children from learning the evils of gambling at a young age seem to be ones which have large gambling industries based upon the addicted adults who did not learn the folly of gambling as children.
I am more upset at how a law making drunk driving a capital offense got through. I authorized capital punish for murder even in cases when the murderer was driving drunk at the time, but drunk driving is not even supposed to be a crime.
Koffee is usually in the top ten in the world, now its 74 thousand something! This is cracked!

Sigh. It does appear that the order of the rankings has been reversed. I believe SalusaSecondus might know why. He said he was tinkering with some part of the mechanism last night . . . :o

Ok, I can confirm that the rankings are reversed. This should be fixed rather quickly. (As in, by the next rankings). Don't worry, your nations have been left unchanged.
As far as my part in this . . . . I am not able to modify the NS code. I suggested a new strategy to [violet] and there was a slight mistake somewhere in the strategy. We'll be hunting it down.
