After finishing my calculus homework, having a quick bite to eat from the fridge and sitting down in front of my humble laptop i decide to log on to good 'ole nationstates.

After reading the quick summary of how my state is doing, the policies on crime, welfare and whether or not speakerphones are blasting our propaganda out into my streets i will settle down to take time to view the issues and decide upon the choices which will suit my nation best. The next day the summary will differ slightly according to the choices i made.

What i believe what will make our nations leaders proud is a detailed analysis on the policies we have decided upon.

eg. Traalins Policies on Laws
*TV is illegal
*Internet is illegal
*Using 3 ply toiletpaper after 9pm is strictly forbidden and is punishable by death

The policies will obviusly differ from state to state and will give a brief summary on the choices people have made over the lifetime of their nation (rather than the last couple).

The countries policies should be available to view by anyone who wishes to size up a nation.

It will allow a leader to really stand back and admire the marvellous work they have done.

Could you be a bit more specific? I'm not entirely sure what your idea is.

Just a detailed page on all the statistics and policies of our nation.

so-and-so's policies on healthcare
*list of policies
*stats 4896 people per doctor

so-and-so's policies on environmental conservation
*list of policies
*stats 86% deforestation per year

basically a page with all info like that....

Ah, I see. The closest you'll get to that is the XML data feed, I'm afraid... though I do know there are plans to add more to it. Though nothing as detailed as what you're after. Usually that kind of thing is left to the imagination for roleplaying.

You can take a look at your nation's XML data feed here: http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/nationdata.cgi
