Now, not only does this nation have a Defense Forces rating = –8.37, but its pie chart shows 0% defense/defence budget. So, it is ok that I got that 3rd option?(Image)

The narrative has never accounted for what departments nations do and don't have in option validities, only in whole issue validities, and then not consistently.
This is earmarked as a future thing in need of review, though the sheer scope of the task likely makes it not worth spending time on.

By default, patents do exist, and we do track your decisions on this. Your nation does have a patent system.
There are some granularity issues though, in that copyrights and patents are treated as the same thing by our flagging system, so if you ban patents, then re-institute copyrights, you also re-institute patents. It's possible to divide these things apart, but the balance of demands on the simulation doesn't make this a worthwhile thing to do at present.

Shouldn't there be a comma after "problem"?

Dinosauronians insert Rings into the statue, and you can judge their worthiness based on how much they pay their respects.”
So, I have banned private enterprise, yet an industrialist (of all people) finds his way in my office! Funny thing is that my nation's leader values that specific proposal the most (and of course I'm referring to the huge statue — not to making money on the side, which is sick ), but coming out from the mouth of an enemy of the proletariat? I'm so torn...
