Hi all,
When looking through the stats of other countries, I see that the economy stat seems to cap at 100 (unlike income tax rate frustratingly). If this is the case, how are countries who have a 100 economy stat ranked for WA badges?

There is a beta aiming to change this, but something has been holding up implementation of any of the betas for more than a year. I don't know why.

Economic output decreases slightly, but I've never budged from 100. So it seems literally the only way of getting it under 100 would be to pick the drastic options that will completely wreck it.
If the #1 nation in the world for Civil Rights or Political Freedom picked options that would decrease that value by a tiny amount, would they still remain at 100? Is there like an invisible set of numbers? Like even though they're officially 100 on screen, in the background it's really like 174.35 or something and picking that option decreased it to 173.24, so in theory they could pick a few drastic options and still recover easily. Pretty sure you just debunked it by mentioning how it all gets tiebroken, but it'd be funny if the only values that are capped aren't really capped.

As the beta shows, your Economy value is actually 101.72, or at least would be sorted as such when the beta goes live. (I wouldn't put too much stock in the exact number, since I suspect there's a nonlinear scaling to keep numbers from going very far beyond 100 even when you're really doing much better behind-the-scenes.) So yes, it's a matter of your hidden numbers being high enough that you can afford to lose some and still stay above 100.Mexican Liberation wrote:If the #1 nation in the world for Civil Rights or Political Freedom picked options that would decrease that value by a tiny amount, would they still remain at 100?
