I'm just wondering if anyone could give me a thorough description of the 3 freedom scales... and I'm looking for the good and the bad here.
I would really, really appreciate any help.

It's linked from more than one sticky.

Yes I know that map. But the link you gave me wasn't what I was asking.
Like, I'm wondering how could you abuse your political rights?
What does economic freedom stand for? What you can buy or what kind of businesses are allowed?
And what exactly are civil rights? How could one abuse these?
I do have a vain idea of these things but I'm looking for a deeper view.

Ok, sorry. It explains everything as much as we players know, so it's the fullest I could provide. I don't understand what you mean by 'abuse' and 'allow', so I'm going to have to duck out and leave it for others to answer your questions on those areas.

Nobody, save the admin, knows the true underworkings of the nationstate game engine, so all we can really do is speculate.

One example of "abusing political rights" might be voting more than once??? For economic freedom, it could entail insider trading... stuff like that, just use your imagination.

Civil Rights: Things such as able to choose what burger you eat, able to choose what job you have, ability to visit a friend, et cetera. To lower them, choose the options in your issues which limit these "civil liberties". To raise them, give them more options, more abilities, and less advantage against the mighty corporation.

Economic Freedom: Greater Economic Freedom represents a Capitalist Economy. Less represents a Command Economy. "The amount of freedom of an individual to operate within the economy".

Political Freedom: The ability to vote, the ability to critisize government, your rights to a judicial representation (lawyer), et cetera. Like civil freedoms, only political or government in nature.

To Austar: And what would be the bad side of having too much political, economic, and civil freedom?
