I notice that my nation state is undergoing a difficult economic time. Does anyone have any tips for how a liberal, civil-rights endorsing nation can achieve prosperity?

My other nation started off with a very fragile economy. I focused on economic issues giving corporations free sway and favoring those positions on issues that favored the economy.
That means you have to go against rights and the environment.

My other nation, which I have had for four years now, has a frightening economy, which I would think is bad. But as I went to the NS calculator, the economy was labeled in green, which pretty much indicates that my economy is doing well. Its weird, but the point is, worse is better.

If you want to develop your economy without sacrificing civil rights, you could dismiss issues that would hurt civil rights, and use only environmental destruction as a means to get an üb3r economy, but it'll take longer.

My World Benchmark/Frightening/World Benchmark trifecta took a year to get, with issues set to two per day. It ain't easy.

It rarely hurts to cut taxes.

I am curious how do you increase the available number of industries. I have one major industry and no other ones.

Frightening is the best economic rating you can get. There is a thread somewhere that lists the best ratings for each of the three categories and other such things.

As for advice, choose options in issues that are economically minded.

Keep in mind that a good economy is double-edged, as either civil rights or the environment will often be adversely affected.

My nation is only two weeks old, but it's already an economic powerhouse with both civil rights and political freedoms described as excellent.

Like everyone said, want perfect stats means you got to wait a long time. I got perfect stats with my puppet but my current nation had it for one day before dropping because of one stupid issue. Haven't got it back up for a long time and don't expect it to come in a while. Oh well. :p

Yes, generally. I'd say that the environment always becomes a problem with extremely powerful economies, along with workers' rights and similar things.

My economy has gone from "basket case" to "imploded" to "weak" -- I have no idea if that's improvement or not :-)

Thanks for the help though. Peace.
