I have a question: I want to try to maintain my position as a "Democratic Socialist", yet I also want to be able to choose positions closest to my actual beliefs as possible, without possibly changing my rating. Iis there any way for me to anticipate how much my civil liberties, political freedoms, or economy will be affected, so I can make sure that my decisions won't knock me out of my current UN category?

Intuition. All issues will affect your stats somehow, just choose ones that seem like they go in the direction you want.

But there's no way for me to anticipate how much certain stats will go up or down? like a set amount of points/ratings?

That would make it too simple.

No there is no set table for stats, the Mods either decided to keep it a secret or didn't want to spend the time. But common sense helps, like the extreme options affect your stats more than the 'elderly man on a park bench' options.
