There's a lot of stuff listed here that isn't on your nation's main page, such as exact spending percentages:

There are many dozens of statistics being maintained for each nation, which describe the 'current state' of that nation. These stats are not public information.

That's by design, a choice of the game creator. I believe the idea is that having all the information makes the game less fun, as otherwise it'd be a math excercise instead of having to make judgment calls on what direction one would like to take ones nation.

You can tell a lot of the hidden statistics, and although you can't tell the exact numbers, you can tell what the stats are, and who is higher ranked than whom, by looking at the U.n. rankings.

But i am interested in making an economy calculator, (i know there's others about but i'm studying economics at uni and want to try to make a near real one). So stats suchs as working age population, unemployment figures etc would be essential, and if these are in the hidden stats they would be helpful unhidden.

I don't think NS records either of your examples, hidden or otherwise.

well would any of these "hidden" stats have any effect on the economy bearing in mind almost any thing a country does affects its economy

There's no real point in continuing this - we're not going to tell you anything you don't already know.
