NS Policies Dispatch

[Llorens]

https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=920115

After already receiving really great feedback from the dispatch (linked above), with 80+ reads, 15+ upvotes, and 3+ WFE pins, I have decided to make a thread for anyone interested to inform me of any:

- Unlisted policies
- Word corrections
- Incorrect list orders

Thanks for the support insofar, and don't forget to upvote the dispatch and, if you want, encourage your region to pin it to their WFE to help out newer nations too!

I suggest adding in the description for the policies since some of these are rather vague.

- Unlisted policies

Undoubtedly there are countless flags not used in the policies tab. Some can be seen in the nation's description after "remarkable for" eg. suspicion of poets, avant-garde cinema, infamous sell-swords, free-roaming dinosaurs, daily referendums, museums and concert halls, etc.

That could be a good idea, might take a while so give me a bit of time for it!

This page is strictly for the Policies tab, those ones don't really fall into the same format as these other ones (like having descriptions and images), so it wouldn't work.

[Llorens]

Each policy now has the exact given description listed beside it, after a request from Kershya earlier today. Hope you all like it!

Also, while searching around for the descriptions, I also found two new policies, which are No Nuclear Power and Geronticide, both which have descriptions. Honestly, I'd never even have heard of geronticide (for clarification, it is killing the elderly) before this!

Is it possible to add the associated banners with their respective Policies or is that currently an impossibility?

This might be very hard, but I'll see what I can do!

Also, just the heads up, I went through the top nation of each WA Census category, as well as probably about another hundred nations, and have finalised that it is highly probable that I have the full list of policies, unless more are added later!

[Llorens]

After a request from Jar Wattinree, I have now added each image for the policies, directly linked from the NS image database (which I found from Inspect Element lol). Hope you like it!

Let me know if you'd like me to add anything new as well: https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=920115

This list looks great! I'm not sure if you know, but some of the images are lacking their "No" symbol (such as No WMDs.) This is probably because it's a separate image on top of the normal one.

I was aware of this when I was searching through the code, and luckily someone has privately volunteered themselves to sort it out with the mods, so I'm waiting on them. We have just been talking in the past five minutes, so I don't know how long it might take.

The 'no' signs on a number of the policy images have been added with the help of Almonaster Nuevo. I am currently awaiting two more that they missed (Atheism and Prohibition), but if you have any others, please send them through!

I've noticed that when you cancel a policy after selecting an issue, in the effects it shows up as red. Would it be possible to collect those variants?

Haven't experienced that yet, I thought the policy just disappeared on the page? Do you have any screenshots?

Next time it happens on of my nations I'll do that. I happens specifically on the issue effects after you've chosen an issue and you get a notification whether or not you've created or cancelled a policy. It's the cancelling versions that I'm asking about.

EDIT: Here's what I'm talking about, from one of my puppets: Vegetarianism cancelled

Hmm, well I'm not documenting those specific boxes in the dispatch, just the title, description and image for each one. The image does appear to have a red tinge, but I'm assuming that it is just something placed on top of it, and they'd all be the exact same as the current ones shown.

As per Ransium's post the Free Press stat is currently removed.

Apologies for being so delayed, Merry Christmas! I'll update that now.

(P.S. Is there any way I can get more convenient forum notifications, like a red number bubble in the sidebar like with the regional RMB and issues?)

I am not aware of any. The only way to be alerted is to bookmark your threads and you'll have to check it manually.

The dispatch is currently ranked 56th for most upvoted of all time, with 93 upvotes. This is really amazing, and if it can crack into the top 50, it could really help all nations better understand the Policies tab to make more informed decisions on their Issues.

[Llorens]

We have reached triple digits and a ranking milestone in the same day (who would've thought!). No other news here!

My nation has a Policy under Society titled “Child Self-Rearing” that’s not on the list.

An interesting combination with parental licensing.
