While many involve accidents or intentional violence that incidentally cut one's life short, some are health and environmental factors that gradually reduce one's potential longevity and have long-lasting effects that could be passed on by genetics.Old Age, Involuntary Euthanasia, Work, Heart Disease, Malnourishment, War, Disappearance, Suicide While in Police Custody, Murder, Capital Punishment, Ritual Sacrifice, Scurvy, Nuclear Spill, Exposure, Vat Leakage, Accident, Space Shuttle Mishap, Bungee Jumping, @@animal@@ Attack, Lost in Wilderness, Cancer, Sunburn, and Acts of God.
For example, Exposure is a lack of shelter - a need for many life forms - and leaves the affected vulnerable to the elements and pathogens. While there are those that don't last one winter or bite the dust in desert regions, continual exposure regularly tries one's immune system and disrupts sleep. There are many potential consequences depending one what kind of biome and climate people live in.
Malnourishment and Scurvy indicate a lack of food or nutrition and is pretty self-explanatory. They can stunt one's physical growth and lead to boatloads of health problems.
Cancer rates high enough would indicate pervasive sources of carcinogens, be it from background radiation, polluted water, smoking, lead products, toxic mold, etc.
Work-related death ("Karoshi") amounts from persistent mental and physical stress from a combination of poor habits: operating in a regular state of stress, sleep deprivation, being sedentary (or physical exhaustion/overexertion), erratic eating patterns, lack of nutrition, bad hygiene, etc. This leads to stress on the heart and brain as well as homeostatic imbalance.
Heart Disease is another one.
I concede that I don't fully understand the mechanics of NS: how causes of death is derived from stats or whether it can be used as a factor in other stats. Maybe this suggestion is redundant with other existing factors. But I thought it was worth mentioning.

Various freedoms and economic strengths are having a small effect here, but barely anything compared to those two factors.
Basically the current simulation is having your significant commitment to health being far outweighed by your significant anti-environmentalism, which is pretty unrealistic. A country can be solidly eco-sceptical and still have healthy long-lived citizens.
The corrected value for you basically takes out that over-effect of environmentalism.
As to your authoritarianism, it actually IS knocking back your lifespan by quite a lot under the new model, whereas it wasn't before. It's just that is lost against the huge background change of your crappy environment being counted for less, and your healthcare counting for more.

I mean, look at this: https://www.nationstates.net/nation=the ... ensusid=63
So even having a really trashy environment doesn't guarantee that life expectancy won't go up once the new beta is implemented.

A number of studies have shown associations between attending religious services and living a long time. One of the most comprehensive, published in JAMA Internal Medicine in 2016, found that women who went to any kind of religious service more than once a week had a 33% lower chance than their secular peers of dying during the 16-year study-follow-up period. Another study, published last year in PLOS One, found that regular service attendance was linked to reductions in the body’s stress responses and even in mortality–so much so that worshippers were 55% less likely to die during the up to 18-year follow-up period than people who didn’t frequent the temple, church or mosque.
