You lot must enjoy taking the piss. Normally I find your sector information funny, but how do you come up with your numbers ? especially on stupidest people? Are you trying to put us off the game? what gives?

Hey, now that isn't nice - these sector issues are supposed to be humourous and funny, make the game more enjoyable for the players, and also give a bit of information on how each country is affected by the issues it decides on.

It isnt intended to make the game less fun, and in fact I enjoy them as they are so bizarre. So please don't attack the people who make them - i'm sure they work extremely hard to make them.

yes, I understand it is meant to be funny and bizarre, but I also read where it said some of the things are definately biased.. I am a centrist and have been an inoffensive centrist democracy since day 3. How do they determine how smart my people are?

Each issue you decide on has different statistical effects on your nations staistics - the ranks are compiled from these staistics...i think

Correct. As such, it is somewhat... Amusing to see someone blaming the people running the game for his statistics, when he should blame either his issue choices or the game code...

Amusingly enough, this does hint at the ranking being correct :P

A quickie background check reveals that your nation doesn't place that high a priority on education funding. There is a very strong (not perfect, mind you) correlation between education funding and how stupid (or not) your citizens are. To fix this problem, try answering issues from a pro-education POV whenever possible.

I was somewhere around 110,000th in the world for stupidest citizens, btw, so I think I know something about what I'm talking about :D
