Option 3
I choose the option that allowed people to say anything about the government, but why did it increase corruption?

Well, I think we have a new winner for worst ever Unusual Issue Effect reporting.
To quote the opening post of this thread:When reporting these, ideally include the following information:
- The name of the nation that had this effect
- The day that this effect was encountered
- The name of the issue, and if you know it, the number of the issue.
I note that the nation you are posting from has not answered any issues in the past 5 days. Going to need more to go on here.

Option 2 is still present, but it has a validity that makes it not eligible to all nations.Ghost Land wrote:On this nation, I just got and answered issue #1041 "A Sport Retort". I checked this site to see what the potential effects were as I was unsure how to answer the issue, and I decided on option 2, which is supposed to lead to the outcome of "the best-of-the-best athletes are replaced by the best-of-the-mediocre". However, when I clicked option 2, it had the same effect as option 3 on the site listed, namely "children's bedrooms are often decorated with posters of successful accountants", and quite a few stats went in basically the opposite direction of how I wanted them to. Was option #2 removed from this issue and that site not updated?

Why should a reduction in government size cause a decrease in citizen income? When the majority of the GDP (according to the game) comes from private enterprise, with high economic freedom and a small portion of government spending through subsidisation, it can't be assumed to be all government jobs being lost (curiously the employment statistic leaped, so these people are now working—which should be more income; nor is there a sizeable amount of welfare) or the government would have greater percentage of the GDP. A decrease in healthcare and education (which led neither to a decrease in health—yet a decrease in lifespan— or intelligence) wouldn't effect income but spending. And that is without mentioning the decrease in taxation from 92% to 7% (presumably because of the inertia of cutting over 1000 points by Freedom from Taxation), doesn't decrease government size proportionally; despite the fact that such high taxation rates mean that almost all economic activity in the country was subject to a high level of government capture.
I would welcome any rationalisation, but I suppose its really an indication of how taxation doesn't work logically; especially when I am explicitly trying to emulate real world ranges (particularly Singapore).
Other things I noted:
- Environmental quality is quite cheap in terms of public spending (only a few thousand for a better than average score). Which really ought to have a greater range of descriptions given that spending varies by a magnitude higher and lower for all nations, while the descriptions (which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation; which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests) mainly occur around the global average.
- Corruption remains a remarkably sticky statistic, speaking of of corruption as something involving a conflict of interests in public affairs, given there are many different options which give minimal decreases—or indeed minimal increases!—but a large change in the size of the government, which is already quite democratic, produces no less corruption, as neither did a large decrease in business subsidization.

Corollary: If you see NO stat effects, the simulation isn't broken. Rather, the decision was in keeping with where your current stat model suggests you are ideologically and structurally, so no stat changes were needed.

Why is this? Were my drug freedoms maxed out by other decisions that counteracted the ban entirely?
