Corporate Police States, victims of bias?

Has anybody noticed that if you take two nations that are identical in all economic, tax, population, and industrial (same major industries), the one that is a corporate police state will almost always be less economically than one that is say, Inoffensive Centrist Democracy, or even Anarchy!


I've looked into this and determined that Corporate Police States seem to be penalized for no other reason than their being corporate police states. It seems that since the policies you choose set your nation UN category, and right-wing policies set a right-wing (Corporate Police State) category, that the game is slanted so that right-wing nations have a harder IC time making their economics comprable to left-wing, even anarchistic powers. How can a nation with no government, basically having no economic direction, be better than a nation with firm control, business subsidies, stability and order?


Am I the only one who has noticed this bias?
