In nationstates, unlike real life, you can make everyone in your nation happy by:
Having no business regulations
Never decreasing taxes so that they gradually go up to 100%
Spending on everything
Allowing political freedom
That more or less works.

Sure citizens won't have to pay out on tax etc, but I'm sure they'll moan when they got no roads, no military defense, or anything working ;)

Which is exactly the opposite of what I was suggesting.

Precisely, what I am trying to point out, is that you can't make everyone happy, like the topic suggests.

What I mean is, that due to nationstates' rather strange ways, by melding maximum spending and 100% tax rates with unregulated business, you get a very strong economy, but also plenty of welfare, etc. See Caveymen (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=display_nation/nation=caveymen) for an example.

You answer issues. You get either one or two a day, depending on your Settings (http://www.nationstates.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi/page=settings). You have to play for a while before you can shape your country to how you like it.

The people in your country are busy at work. ;) The decisions you make in with the issues section effect how well your economy is doing, as well as how much tax your government collects from its citizens. Some players have made calculators to help you gage the economics of your nation. Check them out here:
