You know when you answer regular issues your civil rights, economy, and political freedoms are impacted and slightly change depending on what side you took on your issues? Well, its been about 3-4 days now of issue answering and updating and my civil rights, economy, and political freedoms have been completely frozen at Very good, Good, and Very good in order.

Changes can be gradual. You'll see them in time.

I have the same problem. I want to improve my economy but all the issues I got recently have nothing to do with economy it seems. I had sex education, water shortage, graffiti, this sort of things. Come to think about it, they have not much to do with political freedom either which is something I want to work on too. How annoying...

I asked this question once, so I'll try to answer it as best as I can.

Imagine that your economy, civil rights, and political freedoms are 3 separate balls. Each issue pushes with a force that remains constant for said issue. If the ball is turned around a full revolution, it's at the next economic level. As such, when your population goes up, it's like there's being mass added to the ball. As the ball gets more and more massive, it has more inertia and therefore gets harder to turn and the issue that could have made it go a full revolution now only turns it half of a revolution.

Basically, the bigger you are and the more people you have, the less effect issues have so you need to be patient.

I hope this made sense for all of you.

Right then. So how many more days you think "it" needs to get even a minor change? Because it's been all week. This is one hell of a lump of "mass" that was added to the balls of all three of my government areas then. As at most, I would go without one day without update, but now its been 5.

Well, you're an '07 March nation, just like me. I've noticed that it's getting a lot harder to make changes. By the time you hit around 500 million people, it's going to take more than a week to change a catergory.

Bascially, just suck it up and be patient.

My economy was stuck at imploded for three years.

Sometimes it seems issues don't make a dent, and the more extreme your nation is to one side or the other the less impact they appear to have.

Even if an issue raised taxes by 100%, it would hardly be noticable on my nation's spotlight. I would be able to see it by digging through the back-end, but my Economy and my tax rate would likely be unchanged.

Even if you're extreme on one end, the changes are happening, they're just not where you can see them. Eventually, they'll show up, though.
