Probably it's a result of the game's simplistic funding model that is unable to recognize sources of government revenue besides taxes.

It's probably because you removed subsidies, which a part of your economy relied on?

It would raise secularism because you're cracking down on other religious groups, hence cults, and also cracking down on ANY religion, cult or not, increases secularism.

I just passed legislation for issue 008. Nudists Demand Time in the Sun. I picked the same choice that I always choose (option 1), but I feel like the results have got to be bugged. Civil rights went up, which seems reasonable, but nudity dropped by nearly 50%. All the way from 800 to 415, showing a really sharp decline on the trend graph. The headlines showed clothing retailers expecting a "bumper season", and I'm left very confused by how that makes any sense.

Secularism is the separation of the church and state, cracking down on a cult in favor of a national religion is very anti-secular.
Anyway somehow answering option 1 on issue 186 increases the residency stat, which I don't think should be affected by any issue.

Subsidies barely existed (government doesn't exist, since my tax rate is 0), though the whole pie was subsidies since I messed up on an issue (so 100% of 0 was given out to industry). Probably it's proportional to percentage of government spending spent on subsidies, but it should really be based on percentage of economy spent on subsidies...

If the effect line is taken literally, then it seems that the government isn't actually generating any revenue directly. The option was about subsidizing the pharmacological industry, however, so by NS logic, it should have actually increased the economy as well, leaving these departments at least unchanged indeed.

Trotterdam wrote:#008 probably just shouldn't be given to nations with compulsory nudity, since there's already #295 as the unban issue.
Though, there's currently no unban for female-only compulsory nudity. In fact that position is in limbo as absolutely nothing else ever acknowledges the possibility.
by Jolteonia » Sat Mar 12, 2016 11:18 pm
At some point in the past you must have pushed nudity to be compulsory for either everyone or just woman.
