I was thinking that too, but I was worried someone would steal it. According to the ranks page, there are 193,442 nations, making it more likely for it to be stolen by someone.
Or maybe I'm just paranoid.
Either way, what do you think of the issue?

Some questions:
1) Am I allowed to re-submit issues?
2) How do I know if they get accepted?
3) Do you like the issue? What would you change?
Maybe answer questions in list form unless something else is keeping you busy.

Thing to bear in mind here is the RL timescales and numbers of the game. So far I've submitted 73 issues over a 5 month period. Five had so far made it through into the game, and most have had positive feedback from fellow writers (and sometimes the editors) here. While one made it in in a matter of weeks, the others have had to wait a while. Also, I've previously read that the team has accepted issues in their backlog going back several years.
Point here is that there's no harm in drafting here first (as I've done with all 73 issues). Editor Gnejs has previously advised me that I'm not leaving my drafts up for long enough, saying that he used to have them up for a month or so. I've compromised on that to go for about 2 weeks on average, though if it slips several pages back into the forum archives I tend to bump it once if needed, then submit it once its not drawn any new comments for a while.
I was told 1 in 15 issues make it through, and as a general point of pride I always stop submitting issues if it looks like I'm falling below that. If you want to maximise your odds, post your drafts here, let others work with you on them for a bit.
As to 193,442 nations, bear in mind that probably most of players have multiple nations, and the vast majority of those players don't participate in this forum or submit issues that get accepted. Look down the spoiler list, and you'll see the actual number of authors is quite small.
Nobody here is going to steal your ideas!

What do you do when people stop commenting on your issues?

This is the article:

Also another article states that the government needs a lot of money to solve it. I am assuming this applies to the issue as well, but what options and what specifically?

It would be much more helpful if you would point out the grammatical mistakes. Most people, including myself, are not nearly as good at editing our own writing as others' writing.
