We should make a higher standard of food mandatory for all: vegetarian, vegan, organic. C’est magnifique!
I understand that the three words were listed together for humour purposes but... what exactly does my government enforce, then? Veganism or vegetarianism? You can't have both, veganism is inclusive of vegetarianism. If it's veganism, then Cheese industry should take a hit as big as Trout industry does. If it's vegetarianism, Trout industry shouldn't take a nosedive.
Many vegetarians aren't pescetarians, which is to say that the majority of vegetarians do not eat fish. The usual idea of vegetarianism is what the simulation is based on.
As for what it's based on, it would read as being based on vegetarian food, mostly vegan, and organically produced.

“Ignorance is the problem,” comments Mario Morchella, famed plumber and forest forager, passing you a peach he found near an old castle. “You should set up a system for training and licensing people who want to collect wild fungi, require collectors have the best field guide books, and ban any unlicensed individuals from mushroom gathering. Also, increase the number of park rangers, so these life-saving measures are properly enforced.”
This system involves education. Why did it go DOWN?
The system involves education, and -- accordingly -- an education rise is programmed. But the public education score you see is based on multiple factors, which are also impacted by this option (which isn't a straightforward education option, but an education
and enforcement option).
When I tested it on other nations, it did give a rise in public education. But, for you, the enforcement side partially outweighed the education (although your nation did gain Scientific Advancement).
So, the issue is working as intended.

It's because your wealth gaps started from such a high level that the fall was so dramatic. If you began with a lower level, the change wouldn't have been so extreme.
With stats, the closer you move to the end of either spectrum, the larger the changes you tend to notice when you go the opposite way. If you reaffirm your stance, or remain in the middle-ground, your changes don't tend to be as large.

Haldrick installed the “no dissent” policy and caused a large drop in Civil Rights (-10). Is that a bug or is it an odd interaction with the autocracy policy?
Also, 136.2 didn’t install “No Abortion” on
Ravelya. That seems wrong to me, I banned it in 99% of cases.
With 281.1, you selected an option that allowed for "content discrimination", i.e. restriction of the internet. This wouldn't always install "no dissent", but you were pushing the upper end of the limit already. Selecting this option just pushed you over the edge.
With 136.2, I understand why you're perturbed. But we have tried to be as neutral as possible with our abortion stats, and not take one side over another in -- what is -- a highly emotive debate. Although I personally consider those circumstances unrealistically restrictive, there are people who consider allowing abortion for rape and danger to the mother a very sensible compromise. There are also many countries where that is the law, and they are not regarded as having an abortion ban.
