The final, Max-written issue is there to guilt trip. I won't be adding an issue as you suggest because it gives the effect of prolonging the chain even further.
No thanks.

http://www.nationstates.net/nation=cara ... /id=427690#387 2. the nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers
#389 3. a new Brasilistani government has become a daily report on the main evening news
#390 1. the nation's armed forces are recruiting thousands to help colonise Brasilistan
#405 1. the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight
The last one is the one I'm least sure of, but your last section does it make it sound like you're being nice to the conquered people. The other three I'm like 99.9999999% sure are correct.
And yes, I did play fair. I haven't even looked at your nation page yet. I'll do that after hitting submit.
EDIT: Confirming that my guess was 100% correct. Also, belatedly thought to spoiler-tag the path in case anyone else wants to play.

Spot on! And good call with the spoiler tag. Yeah, as I said, it was great fun to go through. I know it took ages to make so here's hoping they're working on another chain. It'd be interesting to see a non-military chain as well. Perhaps something about natural disasters or so on?

I volunteered to write another chain, and started writing one (in private) along with a couple other guys. We probably ought to get back to it but... actually I have no proper excuse.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you. | Not everyone who calls out to me, ‘Lord! Lord!’ will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Only those who actually do the will of my Father in heaven will enter. On judgment day many will say to me, ‘Lord! Lord! We prophesied in your name and cast out demons in your name and performed many miracles in your name.’ But I will reply, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me, you who break God’s laws.’James 1:26-27, Matthew 7:21-23

As background, I run a moderately libertarian government and have spent some effort rooting out government involvement in a variety of issues. My government was down to less than 7% of the economy, almost all of which was an even split between police and military.
During the chain, government went up to a little over 10% due to increases in military spending. That was perfectly reasonable and appropriate.
However, after annexation - or maybe it was the result of the previous issue of colonization - suddenly my government size doubled to 20% due to nonmilitary spending, mostly social spending that I had wiped out and also some international aid that I'd never previously had.
Why? This seems a little unreasonable to me. The path I took in the chain consciously and specifically avoided any international aid. And it seems unreasonable that treating all former Brasilitanis as full citizens would suddenly give them things like health care subsidies that preexisting citizens didn't get. And that's not to mention that the 2 million new citizens - 3% of my population - could add 100% to my government spending.
Now, don't get me wrong. The chain was fun and if I have to spend lots of time rooting out the renewed government spending, it was still worth doing the chain, even if it didn't really increase my population beyond what it would have been.
But does anyone have any explanation for the seemingly illogical results for my government spending?

1) I decided to try to bribe them into letting our citizens free. (NH: nightly news reports prosaically on the government blindly throwing money at despotic kidnappers.) That worked. Then I was given the option to invade or impose sanctions.
2) I imposed sanction, and I was told many Brasilistan are starving or without essential goods. (NH: toilet paper is considered a non-essential item in the embargo against Brasilistan.)
3) I decided to loosen restrictions and send care packages. The despotic leadership intercepted them and kept the goods for themselves. (NH: the government is spending more on exports to Brasilistan than it's receiving from tariffs on the imports.)
4) I decided to send a peacekeeping force to supervise the distribution of goods. I also had the option of letting the savages all starve to death.(NH: soldiers are now trained how [sic] to make sandwiches properly.)
That seems to be the end of my chain. I always picked the most peaceful or compassionate option.
