I have a suggestion. The only "useless" industry is boys selling lemonade on the sidewalk. It gets kind of boring reading that same line all over NS.

How about adding a few other useless industries, like dog walking, grass cutting, panhandling (begging for change) etc.?

It would add a bit more variety.

Just a thought.

:p

The mods have said before that no new industries will be added. This isn't actually an industry - it's merely a sentence to illustrate the lack of an efficient or legal private sector - but I still think it's unlikely they would agree to coding changes. It's a nice idea, though.

It is a nice idea, but you're wrong in assuming it's an industry - it's just a sentence emphasising the diminished state of your nation's industries. I imagine this is doable, but you'd need Sal's opinion on that.

Thanks! I know it's not and industry per se, it would just require a couple more random sentences to be picked. I don't know if it would be hard to code in or worth the time, but it would be less monotonous for us "economically challenged" nations. :cool:
