Good point. This issue doesn't check obesity levels for some reason.

Anyway, I'm up to #60 on the stat modernisation, so will address this in the near future.

The Maxtopian diplomat is speaking about their nation's monarchy. It doesn't say that your nation is a monarchy.

Nothing to fix. Equalito got a different text to the one in the spoiler thread (which you didn't notice, I presume). This issue has 4 options, not 3. Equalito answered 23.2 not 23.1.

That is not correct. A glitch maybe? It definitely talked about a CEO in that, the speaker was one.

That’s possible. I know the Issue well enough that I don’t really read it.

The effect line of Option 1 of Issue #664: Your Land Or Mine.

"Seconds ago: Following new legislation in The Marsupial Illuminati, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium."

Shouldn't it be 'no one'?

It's a valid alternate spelling, though admittedly less frequently used. Almost unknown in the US, and used about a third of the time in British English territories.

No change needed, given that the author uses British English.

To be consistent with analogous words (someone, everyone, nobody, somebody, everybody), it should logically be spelled "noone". However, that looks confusing because "oo" is often used to denote a single sound in English, so people often break the pattern by changing it to "no-one" ot "no one". Given that it would otherwise have been one word to begin with, "no-one" seems like the smaller change.

Issue 417's Option 3 gave me this effect line:

"Seconds ago: Following new legislation in Vogel Tori, The Siren's mistress is the belle at many state balls."

My nation's leader is neither a male nor a lesbian.

Alright? There is nothing wrong with this issue.

"Mistress" is the woman they are romantically involved with.

And if they aren't romantically involved with any women? What if they are a woman and don't date other women?
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.’

Ah, 417's just a very troubled issue in general as it assumes your leader had an affair in the first place.

I think Ransium's supposed to rewrite it or something? :P
