Adding an Economy...

This has likely been suggested before...

But what about adding an "Economy" to the Game, where each Government had certain "Imports and Exports" according to Governmental Policies and Taxes are collected and distributed in any way they choose...

This way, some of the "descriptions" of each Nation could also be met with "statistics" to support the statements.

And People would be left with making the "Hard decisions" about what gets funded and whether you deficit spend to meet those obligations or not...

This could also Lead to a vibrant "World" Economy, with all of the variables as to how a Country legislates their money to the worth of the things produced by or the money that comes from each NationState.

That's ONE of my Ideas on how this Game could be improved.

I agree. A little more statistical information wouldn't hurt. All we get to see of our issues is the recent changes we've made, nothing more. Couldn't there be something like a bulleted list of some sort that describes your nation based on your answers?

Underneath your nation's description could be a list of all the things that have occured like this:

- legalized marijuana
- favors Catholics
- increased taxes for wealthy
...
etc.

I doubt it will happen for NS 1.
You should probably try the NS 2 forum.

Or you could simply log those yourself. I have a text file on my computer that I do that with, for example.

Admittly other nations wouldn't be able to see it but you would be able to know how you answered the issues each time you recieved them.
