Is there any way that we could see ALL of the actions we've ever taken in our legislatures, instead of having the vague (albeit witty) mentionings of the past three or so decisions in our country's descriptions?

Just an idea.

A history would be nice..

But I think your politics and the text about your country is supposed to be vague.

Yes, there is.
Every time you make a decision, you write down which option you chose. Viola! A permanent record.

This is an answer that has been given before by mods, so don't blame me for technical information. I'm unsure as to the exact details of it.

Because there are over a hudnred thousand active (And over a million dormant) nations on NS, even adding a single line to the nation description eats up a lot of bandwidth and other such technical things, and causes problems for those that run the site. Because of this, proposals such as yours are denied. Adding an entire new page where you could see the results of every decision you ever made would be huge. There are nations here (I'm thinking of Praetor in particular) who have been around since November 2002. That's a lot of issues. Especially since there are under three hundred issues in the entire game, most of it would be repetition anyway.

To suffice, I don't think this idea will ever be implemented. Maybe in NS2, but even then I seriously doubt it. It's simply not feasible.

I've posted a couple times on why this is unworkable.

From last year, some brief numbers (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9008117&postcount=6).

Much longer post with more details (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showpost.php?p=8616004&postcount=5).
