NationStates Jolt Archive

A recent outstanding issue that I recieved questioned what should be done with uranium beneficial to the economy buried under a forest.

I choose the option of "allowing a small part to be mined for uranium, while preserving the majority of the forest".

How does that lead to my national animal teetering on the brink of distinction due to wide-spread deforestation?

I realize that the FAQ already mentioned that outcomes are exaggerated, but this outcome is not a possible one.

The option I choose specifically mentioned "preserving the majority of the forest" and allowing only a "small part" to be mined for uranium. How does my government go preserving the forest by cutting all its plantations down?

If outcomes have to be exaggeratedly negative, it should atleast be changed to a more reasonable negative outcome that may be something along the lines of "environmentalists complain of the forest being cut down to make nuclear bombs".

I just don't see how the option I choose could possibly lead to wide-spread deforestation that almost brings my national animal to extinction.

You're a young nation, therefore issues have more of an effect. I had the exact same thing happen to me back when my nation was that small.

That uranium issue was my first "WTF" moment in NS.

That has also happened to me! But I had been able to fix it with other issues about my nation animal. It took a long time though but i fix it. Most of all the other issues i had to be helping the environment.
