Issue 478.3 mentions building parking lots, even if the nation receiving the issue has the automobile ban policy in effect. Perhaps a variant of response 3 could be written?
Because sometimes even national leaders just want to hang out

Steelfeather Rapture 2 wrote:Issue #599 (Dead in the Water) is about fertilizer-fueled algae blooms. It shouldn't arise in nations with negative agriculture sectors. Where is the agricultural run-off coming from in Steelfeather Rapture 2? This issue needs a new validity check so that it only arises in nations with agriculture.
Forcing the nonexistent farmers of SR2 to add chlorine bleach in proportion to the fertilizers they use shouldn't do anything to the weather or environment in SR2, because there are few if any farmers in the nation, yet I bet the game isn't coded to have the issue's effects on stats vary based on the actual strength of agriculture. You might want to check into that, if you can alter the issue's actual effects.

This issue shouldn't occur for nations with cloning vats, because of this issue effect from option #1: increasing numbers of children in @@NAME@@ have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers
While that kind of shift would make sense in a liberal cloning regime, it wouldn't make sense for it to have anything to do with subsidizing milk distribution.

Wind and Void Rapture 1 wrote:Issue #674 (Let Them Eat Rainbow Cake!) needs a socialism-compatibility review. It refers to "the restaurant owners" in its introduction, while the first option has a character ask, "What about my economic rights as a business owner?”
P.S. Please change your "random" name selector, as the third option (which betrays liberalism) was "randomly" assigned to "Judas". The top one, which defends the rights of business owners, was "randomly" assigned to "Rand".

I would raise another explanation - the whole issue is valid for nations who've already given AI citizenship, and these players are less likely to choose options that revoke their decision.
This is part of the problem with cliche "BAN IT" options - they only show up for people who haven't banned it. If every AI issue has "wah, ban it!" as an option, then it gets very tiresome as a player with AI to keep having to not ban stuff that you're clearly not interested in banning.
(Also worth noting that Trott's engine only picks up 1 datapoint every ~4 seconds, and only non-WA nations, which severely limits the accuracy of the "how many people pick this" stat. Still cool though.)

If the issue is valid only for nations with AI citizenship, why did I get that issue? I'm sitting here with "Rise of the Machines" in my issues queue, trying to work it into my nation's narrative, and you're saying it only shows up for nations who have given AI citizenship?
Then, I raise this as a bug report for HUFOI! Why did Issue #472 "Rise of the Machines" occur for the nation of Steelfeather Rapture 1?
delayed DNA evidence put a notorious rapist behind bars

There is no bug for Rise of the Machines. You do not need AI citizenship to receive the issue. If you are not seeing a certain option then it means you are not eligible to receive that option.

This wording doesn't suit nations which have the policy of No Prisons. A more suitable turn of phrase for such nations could be "delayed DNA evidence brought a notorious rapist to trial".

Surely such a scenario would be a criminal case rather than a dilemma for the government to handle?
An individual providing medical advice for payment from the patient is in contravention of both the aforementioned policies.

A man in yoga pants pauses stretching to remark: “Excuse me, do you see what I’ve got going on here? I can’t be walking this down unlit streets at night. I can barely do it in the daytime. Keeping the lights on at all times will make Merni feel safe and welcoming for everyone, not just the heavily armed.” He adjusts his gym bag, which clanks.

Should that be "I can't be walking down..."? I don't see a reference to him walking anything (such as a pet) down the street.
After the street outside your personal residence proved incapable of handling a diplomatic motorcade...
Imagine if the ambassador had been run over by that party bus!
You can drive, or take a cab, or hire a personal bus at your own cost.
Why not get yourself a mobile home and tour it around the country

“Me fail grammar? That’s unpossible!” chimes in your easily amused Education Minister Erica Pigham while trying to balance a pen on her nose. The Education Minister is quickly pushed aside by your always-angry Defense Minister, who looks like he is about to have an aneurysm. “Who are these nerds and brainiacs to tell us how to run our country? The people voted us in and we ought to respect that. So what if I don’t have some fancy-schmancy diploma? It’s just a piece of paper. Any citizen should be free to run for office, regardless of how smart they are.”

That line is one of dozens, possibly hundreds, that are deliberate quotes, references, or parodies related to popular media. It is no coincidence that a character named "Pigham" is channeling a character named "Wiggum" :-)
