How we see each countries, we only see the last 4 issues. Could there be a link to show all the issues pasted by the government and there reactions?

Such a thing would really clog up and slow down the server, I belive. Would be cool though.

The other problem would be that this inforation is not stored. Issues change your stats in a certain way, and are then forgotten about (except the most recent 5, which are displayed obviously).

They may not be stored, but if it was set up so all of them were displayed, then they would be stored.

errr... so i would have around 850 issues listed? no thankyou....

You would only have them listed if you wanted to see them. There would just be a link to issues that you have passed. If you didn't click on it, you'd just see the 4 most recent, like we currently do.

By taking into account how you have voted over a period of time on a particular issue your position in the various world ranking tables is calculated.

Therefore this information must be stored in some form or other!

I believe it makes a permanent change to your nation's statistics and then goes away. The effect is recorded, but the transactional details is not. That's why it's impossible to repeal UN resolutions - there is no transactional history to refer back to.

Yes, that is how it's currently set up. But if it was changed so it would remember what the reslutions were, I think it would be fun. It would give more depth and detail to the nation.

Man... that's a lot of info. What do we have? Over 30,000 nations at the moment? I'd hate to have to deal with figuring out a storage program.

It would be cool to see trends in your issues though.

Man... that's a lot of info. What do we have? Over 30,000 nations at the moment?

Just a little over: 115,642

Ya....that would be alot of space. Maybe only for those who have bought the book?

And you intend to prove that you purchased the book how, exactly?

I don't intend to prove that I bought the book. But if people buy the book online from this webpage, they would be asked to imput the name of your country. And once all that is done, you're nation will begin to record all of the legeslations and not just the first four.
