Stupid biased issues.

Far-right-wing Nazi supporters plan to stage a rally in the city center tomorrow, giving voice to their violent, racist views.

Far right? Who ever came up with that is a retarded idiot. Far-right=CAPITALIST. Capitalist are against any government regulation of the economy and the Nazis were for regulation, THEY ARE LEFTIST! Nazi=National Socialist. Socialism is FAR LEFT. Oh yeah lets also talk about the guy who is for freedom of speech for the Nazis is named "Pete Jong-Il." Nice leftist bias you guys got.

NAZI may stand for National Socialist. But they were actually far right Facists if you read up on history. So the game isn't "biased".

Although the game does take issue to the extreme, thats the way it is made and how Max started it as. The names are also randomly picked from a list on the server. if you have an idea for more names, then i'm sure you could give those idea's to the Admins. But the variable that is used to pick names is something to the effect of RANDOMNAME.

Nazi stand in center, but more right.
They're for borguise, so they aren't Left (Socialist only used for the 'volk')
They're Autothrian too...

If you want to have a discussion about where Nazis stand on the political spectrum, please take it to the General forum.

Gods Glory, Shazbotdom has already explained that the names in issues are random combinations generated by the game coding. If you don't like a particular combination, just refresh, or log out and in again and see what you get.

After about two weeks in the game, the issues you receive will be affected by the decisions you have already made. Some issues you may never see at all; others may come back constantly. You can see what all the issues are in the stickied thread with the spoiler label, above.

The issues are exaggerated in their choices, but there always are choices. Their effects are sometimes unexpected, too, but then, that's how real life works. If you don't like any of the choices, just dismiss the issue. For some people, part of the fun of the game is working to achieve the sort of nation they want despite the game's programming.

Others like to write their own issues and submit them to see if they can be used in the game. So if you think NS has a bias one way, eventually you can start writing issues that you think lean the other way.

By the way, while I know you weren't talking about anyone in particular here, make sure that in other forums you don't call fellow posters "retarded idiots", because that's flaming, which is against the site rules.

I agree with GG in that the issues I encounter typically have a variably strong bias towards Capitalist against Socialists, Dictatorships, Hippies etc. They also sometimes believe that if you have a democracy you have a democracy exactly like that of the United States (remembering one mentioning a certain something called Congress). I personally favour Socialism, Dictatorships are ok if they aren't too oppressive, and I don't like Capitalism much. Of course, I try very hard not to bias issues or just assume that every nation of one particular kind is the same as every other nation of that kind.
