My nation is classified as a Father Knows Best state. It is a well known fact that Mother knows best.

Yet more evidence of Max Barry's patriarchal, misogynist leanings. Did you know that female moderators are paid only three-quarters of what male moderators receive?

I have contacted the ACLU and I'm sure they will soon write a very angry letter or something.

It's because your nation is not a Matriarchy.

Try setting that as your nation type, then.

That doesn't change the category. And I really am insane, the pre-title is simply a fair warning.

Ah! That's new to me. When the pre-title is set to "Matriarchy", a "Father Knows Best State" becomes a "Mother Knows best State".
Jut tried it out on a puppet, it works!

The Matriarchy of Mithrael is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 9.134 billion no entry for "!Mother Knows Best State".

Wow [violet], that's the best description ever. You've really outdone yourself.

It also still says "Father Knows Best State" under her national flag/name/etc. on the forums, for the record.

Otherwise .... excellent. I'm going to have to intentionally work towards FKB State for some of my puppets, if only so that I can take advantage of this coding thing. :)

It worked for Lynnes Vents, but that's it.

I'm assuming because the game pushes out the title whenever it updates. Lynnes Vents was refounded, which meant the game pushed out the new title "Mother Knows Best State" to the forums on the refounding. Crazy girl has not had her title update since changing it to Matriarchy (which is because I'm guessing the game itself doesn't really see Mother Knows Best State as an official title, just a re-named version of Father Knows Best State) so the forum hasn't pushed it out.

Game / Forum mods can fix this iirc by using "sync to forum" or "sync to game" or whatever it is, on Crazy girl's account.

It says "Father Knows Best State" on region pages, too, even for Lynnes Vents.
