Perhaps someone has already made the suggestion, but is there perhaps a way to be able to quickly tell whether or not I have already decided on an issue previously?

The system keeps only track of whether you've received an issue before, not whether you decided on it. Also not when you got them, how often, etc... So, the information you seek may be found by google or through other offsite means, but there's no guarantee of completeness of information.

I see. So I can look around for the issue to see if I received it before (which is what I want)? I'm doing a experiment on here to achieve full effect of what my "ideal government" would look like, and I'd hate for it to have bogus stats because of doing the same issue multiple times.

You could look at is "real life issues don' only come around once, and get decided on the same ways." I mean, things like immigration in the US or healthcare keep coming back for new decisions. Just like you decide every day what to eat for lunch, leaders don't always have an entirely new set of decisions to make every day.

I suppose that's a way to look at it. I'll definitely do it once my population reaches 1 billion (since that's our cut off point). Thanks for the point of view!
