My nation seems to have no major industry, despite having an "all-consuming" economy. For example, there is no industry listed for the following issue:
----------------------------------
Fuquay-Varina Decides:
Workers Strike!
Government Acts
The Issue
Workers across the nation have gone out on indefinite strike over what they claim are substandard wages in the industry.
The Debate
1. "We are the backbone of this country, and we demand a fair wage rise!" says union leader Pip Washington. "I don't think a 20% increase over two years is too much to ask. Unless the government forces employers to give us our due, we'll shut this whole industry down! Let's see how well Fuquay-Varina's economy manages without any , huh?
2. "We pay our employees very generous wages," says employer representative Colin Silk. "Especially when you consider that without us, they'd be OUT ON THE STREET. Hear that, you scumbags? OUT ON THE STREET! Anyway, my point is, if you cave in, you make our entire industry uncompetitive. You can't do that in the global marketplace. It'll hurt the whole country. The best solution, economically speaking, would be to relax industrial laws and allow us to fire troublemakers on the spot."
----------------------------------
And the XML feed shows "<MAJORINDUSTRY />".
Any way this could get fixed?
