"Corrupt"? Just because of my beliefs?

I don't get this: my government has been labeled "corrupt" because I allowed the death penalty, and moved Civil Rights to "Few".

I've only answered a few other issues thus far, but this was the one that changed it. Frankly, I'm at a loss to see what triggered the charge of corruption. All I did was answer with a sincere belief.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I believe in treating the death penalty with utmost seriousness--that is, it shouldn't be handed out in a trivial manner, and only after due process. But frankly, it would seem to me that for simply accepting the death penalty to trigger charges of corruption and that I somehow have "Few" civil rights is a huge overreaction (not to mention leftist political bias).

P.S.--if I have posted in the wrong area, please accept my apologies and move it where it belongs.

Your nation is small enough that every choice you make will affect it drastically. Once you answer a lot of issues, changes will be harder to make.

Issues will usually have hidden effects or some negative aspect to them, that's half the point of them - there're no "good" and "bad" sides to an issue. You just have to take what you get and run with it... or dismiss it.

I see...that makes a bit more sense now. Sorry for flipping out like that...I didn't realize that single changes were that "catastrophic" at this point. ;-)

It means it is large, wasteful and inefficient.
