How in the world did this happen? Voting for sex education decreases my nation's weather by 208????
Legislating in favour of sex education probably increased godlessness which decreases good weather.

1/6 is not an insignificant amount. People would kill for that RoI annually. According to 80/20 it would take almost as much time to raise productivity 1/6 as it did to get productivity up to that point to start. Being taxed 1/6 of your income is considered a lot.
A nation in this game having 1/6 more on a rating than any other nation has an almost insurmountable lead in the rating, unless they do something stupid.
1/6 of something is very significant. 1/6 innacuracy is highly significant and in many sciences can be the difference between life and death.
Just admit you were wrong and fix it. There is absolutely no correlation between weather and culture. This is just a blatant attempt to add relevance to a Stat where none should be.

Cultures mustn't be practised indoors but also outdoors. African's culture is singing together outdoors, hunting, etc. so they should've more sunlights while other cultures like Islamic countries practice indoors (i.e. mosque) so they should've minimal sunlights.[violet] wrote:more culture = less sunlight

PS: Less culture actually receives lesser sunlights because they're modern. i.e. use smartphones/computers.
If you link culture + environment, then it should receive even lesser sunlights because modern are factories, they pollute the environment.

Technology != Culture
Culture exists within technology as it pertains to mediums of communication, but no more demonstrably so than the conventions and rituals that have predated such mediums.
Detrimental climate and environmental effects are not a result of culture, but industrialization and expansion. Technology is a byproduct of education and industry, and culture is not necessarily a byproduct of technology (yet maybe education), but our manner of social interaction as it may relate to laws, norms, and taboos (social conservatism). And history, but there is no measurement for history unless you revert a stat to issue-dependent.

There is no causality in that reasoning. The example you provided pertains more to the primitiveness and population stats than it does culture. The sun does not shine more or less and storms do not come because a species is old or developed, nor would the reverse be true (lest a nation CTE due to horrible weather). The level of cultural development of a living thing is irrelevant in determining whether or not there will be a storm or more/less sunlight. It happens regardless of the fact, and we are at the mercy of the planet's whims.(also)Enfaru wrote:Less culture actually receives lesser sunlights because they're ancient. i.e. cave painting.
Granted, as it pertains to communication, and speeds up our social interaction greatly. Similar can be said of the billboard, bulletin board, passenger pigeon, or graffiti / chalk on asphault: there are popularly agreed-on guidelines and preferences of usage, and they have the capability to affect our laws. Regardless, it is the development of technology, not culture which can exist within that medium, that can affect weather.Enfaru wrote:I disagree that culture is not necessarily a byproduct of technology.

It's not a thread jack as it relevant to the discussion of why culture should not affect weather nor vice versa.Enfaru wrote:I'd recommend taking this particular argument to General however before it becomes a thread jack.

In the real world, people who live in places with more sunlight are more likely to engage in outdoor pursuits, and so be more physically active (stereotypically: fitter, healthier, better-looking). People who live in places with less sunlight are more likely to engage in indoor pursuits, and so be more mentally active (stereotypically: smarter, better educated, more cultured).
Since this is NationStates, instead of the weather influencing you, you influence the weather.
