This is what my nation desc reads: "People are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, the studies of art and philosophy are banned ..." And all this, just trying to reduce the government involvement in either case. (This nationstate shouldn't classify people according to any characteristic, including gender, and neither should it fund private enterprises like art.)
What kind of wrong impressions did you give to the NationStates engine?
On the contrary, sometimes it's getting it right even though the writer was trying to be sarcastic. "Citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages", for example. That's exactly what you can do here in Europe, even though it might be difficult to imagine for the largely monolingual people out there in the uncivilized wilderness. For example, it could work like this: the mothertongue, the other national language, one fluent foreign language, two extra foreign languages. (This is what you have to know to get the maximum grade from the national pre-university examination in here.) It's always fun when someone's making up an example he thinks is impossible, but is not.
