Oops yeah, was talking to someone about antibiotics as I typed.

I probably said to them I was going to prescribe them some cellphones.

Doh.

Men and multi-tasking ... always gets meddled with things and stuff.

So okay, no change to my input. Maybe she (in #1135,3) really got diplomatic immunity. Although I remember another issue about "laughing when foreign diplomats have to undress not being helpful" or similar (#1094), but alright.

Speaking of naked validities: #61,4 has a dressed person also at Nude nations. Chase him away! No Medieval Faires for the nudes, too sad.
Once one starts looking for these things, there are more and more showing up. Yeah, pun. Hoo Boo

Yes, he could have been wearing a medieval jester's hat and still been otherwise bare as the day he was born.

No changes needed.

The effect line for 1080.2 reads "Not showing enough enthusiasm for mutual assured destruction is a court-martial offence."

Pretty sure it should be "mutually" here.

Having looked it up with the somewhat-knowing-Wiki, it appears both are acceptable.

Cool, thanks for taking a look

The introduction of issue #608 has a space between a word and comma.

A 3-year-old girl, named Sonequa , recently died from a nasty chest infection. The case was notable, as doctors are claiming that a simple course of penicillin could easily have saved her life, and are laying blame for the death upon the advice of a ‘spirit-energy healer’ who advised the girl’s parents to treat their child with acupuncture.

I have bolded the offending section, as copy-pasted directly from the issue.

Received issue 1150 on Equalito, which has autarky. While Skandilund could still place sanctions on an autarkist nation, that doesn’t seem like it should really affect anything.

I'm not seeing that in the official issue text. There is a remote possibility that this particular random name includes an extraneous space. It looks like you already answered this issue - otherwise, I would ask you to check it again after reloading to get a different random name.

Therefore, there's nothing that I can fix, but please let us know if anyone finds a similar problem.

Do you know how long you have had autarky? Did you just receive this issue, or has it been sitting in your inbox for a long time?

(For narrative purposes, the sanctions could just be symbolic. Even if they don't have an effect, perhaps Skandilund wanted to do something to demonstrate their disapproval.)

Option 1260.3:

“You know, this raises the broader issue of immigration,” announces your Finance Minister, dispensing financial projections with a little flourish. “We have an ageing population, so why worry about whether ‘x’ is cause for asylum but ‘y’ isn’t? All suffering is equal, especially that of the public coffers. How about we loosen the immigration rules, rubber-stamping asylum applications from all people who arrive able and willing to live and work here.”

...shouldn't that last sentence end with a question mark?

The effect line of 1260.3 is "a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an 'Air Brancaland' flight has been offered asylum" - are the quotation marks around Air Brancaland necessary? They certainly aren't consistent with how airline names have been presented in the past: there aren't quotation marks around the name of @@DEMONYM@@ Air in Option 716.2; around Oceanic Airlines or Budget Air in Issue 652; nor around Air @@NAME@@ in Issues 747, 787, and 1051.

Thanks for the report. Both items have been changed.

Yeah I just received the issue a few days ago, and have had autarky for a good deal longer than that. Probably shouldn’t have dismissed it

So then no one’s planning to edit the validity? Just to be clear.

Well, this issue is directly linked to two other issues that require you to not have autarky. It looks like you answered both of them at some point in the past (more than two months ago). I suspect that the following occurred:

1. You didn't have autarky when you received those issues.
2. You implemented autarky (via a different issue) soon after receiving one of them.
3. You answered one or both of those issues in a manner that made you eligible for #1150.
4. You received #1150.

Does that make sense?

Issue: "Intimate relations"

All answers seem to point toward banning incestuous relationships.
But playing as Egypt 2.0 - what if we actually want to permit / encourage these relationships?

Option 3 supports incest, sort of. While it may harass incestuous couples with screening that is implied (though not stated) to be mandatory, the relationships themselves are allowed to continue, and the effect line, "kissing cousins produce the heartiest babies", sounds rather positive.

Not doing anything at all about the health problems is basically dismissing the issue. Which is always an option.

Anyway, the issue already has quite a lot of options (even accounting for two of them being mutually-exclusive and a third having a rare validity), so it's probably not a good idea to add yet another one. It's not that there's nothing you can do, since a more straightforwardly pro-incest option is available on #274.

I think so.

Thanks for checking that out, sorry that it was a bit of hassle.

In issue number #932, the 4th and last option (quoted in the spoiler below) should not be available for nations with the Atheism policy:

“Aryax has travelled too far down a dark path,” reprimands Bishop Yasmin Huffington, who is sprinkling holy water on Ms. Bleu. “I agree something must be done, but we must treat the disease, not the symptom. We must ban videos of the naked form, and indeed, prohibit nakedness anywhere but in private chambers.”

Thank you for raising this. Amended.

Issue #12 (Death Penalty on Agenda) mentions democracies and elections but is still available to dictatorial nations. Obviously this came from the Drew Durnil video, and I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet.

Anyone who receives this issue still has some type of elections. If a dictatorship hasn't completely outlawed elections, this remains a valid issue.

NationStates Issue No. 724 has its eligibilities incompletely implemented. It mentions a mansion being seized - even in nations with intense egalitarianism. I recommend that in addition to reinforcing its land ownership check, it should also check egalitarianism, and not show up for nations with <3x wealth gaps.

[TalAkMaChen]

Issue #764 has option 2 speaking of "having access to Kwikipedia", even in nations without internet. I'm aware it's a politician speaking who might be exempt from that policy, but who shall manage those Kwikipedia pages when nobody may access the internet (except for politicians, diplomats maybe)?

[Aryax]

More on Atheism, this option (#33.2) should not be available to Atheist nations:

“This is a sacrilege!” says religious leader Hack Pond. “These animals are extinct because God wants them dead. Cloning them would merely incur his wrath! If we proceed down this path, it’ll be humans, not the feather-bellied orca, who will be extinct.”
