nation profile problems

How are the nation profiles figured out? I ask because right now, mine makes no sense to me:
"The Dominion of Puppet States is a huge, economically powerful nation, notable for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 302 million are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which."
AND
"Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Gambling."

How can i be both anti-business and ruled by a conglomeration of MNC's? 90% of the time, i side with the business community on proposed issues. And i cannot recall ever making private enterprise illegal... as a staunch capitalist, this is absolutely repugnant to me. Is there any way to fix these gross representations of my nation?

Thanks in advance.

There are more then just the three stats displayed involved in creating the description of your nation. There are tons and tons of hidden stats (like environment, for example) that determine things like the UN rankings. The stat for "private enterprise" is separate from the three stats that determine your UN category.

okay, but my above quotes are from the profile, not my UN category (which is currently capitalist paradise). How can they possibly so far apart from one another?

The first paragraph of your profile is created from your UN category. The second paragraph is based on the Private Enterprise stat.

I'm still confused. If the first paragraph is done by my UN category, how can i be both anti-business and ruled by MNC's? The two are mutually exclusive and cannot co-exist.
