Elections - Help

19-12-2003, 11:58
I'm new to Nation States, and I've banned elections (kinda by accident). I don't want to start again, but I can I re-introduce elections? Do I just have to hope that another issue comes that will let me start elections?

Just wait a while and do what you can to try to raise political freedoms. Eventually you'll get the issue on whether or not democracy should be compulsory again and then you can choose to have elections. This might take a long time though(I did something similar shortly after starting and even at 2 issues/day it took me a couple months to restore democracy).

#11: People Request Not So Much Dictatorship, If That's All Right

The Issue
While effusively praising @@NAME@@'s leadership and bowing repeatedly, a delegation has humbly requested that the government take a more "modernistic" view in the future.

The Debate
1. The High Minister for Finance, who also happens to be your brother, dismisses the claim. "What these people fail to realize is that you know what's best for them. The alternative is anarchy! I say stick to your course. And execute these wackos for treason."

2. "Perhaps the people could be given some more political freedoms," muses your Chief of Staff, who is your sister. "Is there really such harm in allowing public discussion of ideas? We could even have a real Opposition Party. One that isn't just full of your puppets, I mean."

don't worry about banning elections - as long as you choose the options that give your people freedoms then you'll get the issue again and you "Political Freedoms" will stay at excellent or whatever. 8)
