Hi!
I have observed my political freedom going down since I have started playing.
I really haven't answered so many issues that should include changing it.

I feel then all too many issues influence political freedom. For eksample I just recieved an issues on religion freedom, does that influence political freedom too? If it does it shouldn't... Politics and Religion shouldn't mix up... The MiddleEve should teach us that... I actually don't remember to have had to answer to more than 3 issues that I felt would influence my nation political freedom.. but it looks like it goes down for every issue I answer.
And THAT is not what I ment when I picked out the answers.
Couldn't it be easier to understand what affects what?

I have edit the post becouse it had bad gramatics... but it still look quite odd the way it is written. Sorry for that, I hope you understand anyway what I mean...

Basically if you do stuff that reduces civil rights, it has a knock-on effect on political freedoms, possibly because the population get a bit scared when voting. This is most apparent if your nation becomes an 'Authoritarian Democracy'

I haven't been near to become an authoritharian democracy... I passed through Scandinavian Paradise to Socialist Democracy....
I still think it is too obscure what makes change what. The game should be a bit more transparent, now it is a bit of a guessing...

Might make the changes appear less random...

I agree that the language in the options can be confusing. Some people like it that way. The language was originally meant to be satirical and funny but Max wrote only the first 30 issues. All issues with higher numbers were edited by mods and there have been noticeable stylistic changes. In addition, the effects of the options appear to have become more complex.

You should excavate old threads in the Issues forum. Some will tell you what the effects of the different options are.

If you want to boost your PFs, some examples are: Diving for @@Currency, Opt. 2; Corporations Demand Political Say, Opt. 1 (but this will make your government corrupt); Should Democracy Be Compulsory, Opt. 1; Nazi Sympathizers Plan Rally, Opt. 2; Death Penalty on the Agenda, Opt. 1; Orbital Armegaeddon, Opt. 3. There is a caveat involved here. If you are trying to maintain a certain UN category of government, some of these will issues will change that.
