How exactly are your stats calculated? Is it just, Nation X clicked option A more then Nation T, so he gets a higher rank?


So...
"The Carson Archipelo is ranked 1st in the region and 108,083rd in the world for Happiest Citizens."

Does that mean I have never clicked yes to happy proposition number 12?

Every decision has an affect on your citizens happiness, whether it is about vandalism or poetry, no one can get high rankings on every thing its either left or right wing ideals, nations who are extereme on either political persuasion usually have a lower happiness. Really its just a quick fact but relly doesn't mean that much

whoh, missed that someone responded.

Ok, no, I didn't mean, how do I make my nation happyer, I just wanted to know how nation rank was tabulated.

The current one is 'best weather', (me-3291) and it beats me how it's caculated. It's definitely not from the XML feed direct, but I suppose that more liberal nations are freer to look at the weather than authoritarian nations, and being free-er, are more inclined to love nature? Or maybe I'm just rambling.

Best weather can be determined by a few things. The question about setting Tarriffs on your nation is 1. Think about it, if you said yes on tarriffs more corparations would grow inside the country, therefore causing more polution, causing acid rain. Also the rainforest proposition. If you chose to cut down the rain forest, your weather will change. Climates are changing in South America because of the Reain Forests being cut down, so why would it be any different on here?

Well, you should also consider how simple the game mechanics are. Is it possible with the current code to take into consideration deforestation?
