Drug Industry

[VoVoDoCo]

Right now we have industries like pizza delivery, soda pop, yada yada yada. There have been some whispers of NS adding new industry stats to the mix.

Do they plan on adding recreational drug manufacturers to the list of new industries or...?

Oh God I'd love some khat industry going on.

I'd love it too. If you allow the market sale of recreational drugs, you get plenty of issues/options on regulating/deregulating the industry and whatnot anyway. Creating an industry stat to correlate with the usage of drugs and effectiveness of those industries seems like a logical next step, in my opinion anyway.

It's not that hard to implement either.

Please don't post like you have a clue about how hard it would be to add. You don't know the game code. You have no idea what's involved in adding an industry. Go ahead and make your request, but please stop posting about things you cannot possibly know.

What the frisbee said, bad move. And probably discourages them considering it.

So is this a good idea? Is it possible?

Not before beekeeping industry is added!
Jokes aside, we already have the Recreational Drug Use census. Why would we need this? To me it seems like it would just be superfluous clutter on the rankings table.

I suppose to differentiate legal and illegal recreational drug use?

I know the Confederacy would love to get the state-controlled opium business running, as well as the more obvious alcohol and tobacco. (No, not heroin... just regular opium.)

Industries do not necessarily reflect legal activities. My major industries are mostly thanks to black market activity.
Such differentiation would also be largely obsolete as the recreational drug use census mostly reflects how liberal the nation is about drugs anyhow. Nations hard on drugs universally have lower rates, nations soft on drugs universally have higher rates.

Seconded!

The game's code seems to define all drug use as 'illegal': Legalize drugs in your nation and its rating for illegal acts will increase...

[Merconitonitopia]

not quite, rather the game presumably considers drug use a potential cause of crime. I don't think this is to be interpreted as drug use being considered a crime in itself.

Actually, that sounds WAY cooler than weed. And that's a tough hurdle to hop.
